Seniors: The end of the year has come for our seniors following a defeat in the senior league final to a sharper Blayney side. It has really been a year of highs and lows for the team. With the lads claiming their first championship win and also reaching the reserve and senior league finals, the year could be looked upon as a success but unfortunately the silverware has eluded them. However, with continued dedication and commitment this is sure to change. The boys would like to thank their manager for all his hard work throughout the year and to the club in general for its continued support.
