Season 2025

Well done to our reserves and under 19 football teams for making this years finals series. Our A Grade netballers also had a taste of finals netball which was exciting. The senior team ended up with 8 wins for the season and finished off the season with 3 wins from the last 4 games to take some great momentum into pre season training.

The great news is, we have already added some quality recruits in Ryan Handley, Jacob Kelly and Jarrod Williams to the playing list, while signing all our current playing group from 2025. The club is in a very strong position heading into 2026.

Our Under 19 coaching role has been filled, with Richard Bulmer taking on the role. Training for all season, resreves and under 19’s players will commence on Monday Night November 17.
