The Season Commences

The local season is upon us and we wish all players, coaches, umpires, officials and spectators a rewarding season. There is an excitement at training sessions and Saturday promises to be a great day.

We remind everyone to play within the spirit of the game and remember that at the heart of all we do is respect for each other.

Thanks to everyone at both club and Association level who has been working hard in the leadup to the season.
