THURSDAY afternoon training was turned into another round of games in order to give the kids more playing time as we had lost so many rounds this year due to the wet weather and the resulting flooding of our fields.
This strategy has been appreciated by players and parents alike, well done to Alissa and the 2025 committee.
Saturday morning saw games played from round 15, the last for the 2025 season in perfect conditions.
Next week we will have a “Friendly games” day with a few surprises requested by the kids and organised by the committee, so we will wait and see!

Thank you to the Lions club for running the BBQ for this weeks’ games.
WALKING FOOTBALL was a hoot! We had a great roll up this week with two “newbies” Graeme from Hawks Nest and Mandy from Victoria who both came to “have a look” but got onto the field and played their socks off. We had a lot of fun, scored a few goals, congrats Mandy, enjoyed some after game conversation, laughs and pleasant company around the canteen.
We are investigating the logistics of forming of a “Summer Twilight Season”.
