Congratulations to everyone who has advanced to the Grand finals. We all know how much hard work has gone into the season by all our players, team officials, coaches, managers, and parent. If your team didn’t make it to the big game better luck next year and make sure you sign up for the championship season starting on the 7th of October.

For everyone that will be participating in the grand finals and for everyone that is coming along to support your team good luck and remember sportsmanship is important. Un-sportsman like behavior will not be tolerated and could result in removal for the stadium and potential suspension.
