All coming together to chase state glory
A massive congratulations to every player who took the field throughout the weekend and competed at such a high standard. Huge credit also goes to our referees and officials, whose professionalism and commitment ensured the event ran smoothly from start to finish. There was some fantastic skill on display over the weekend which makes us excited about the TRI SERIES that we have coming up in June.
