What an amazing weekend we have had, the men’s team came away with the third place bowl, while the women came so very close to the third place bowl also losing only by two points after the buzzer went, the grit and drive this team showed makes us all so proud, thanks to Kodi for coming from Townsville and Donica and Chanel from Katherine that also joined us, Coach Gerry for always showing us the most support and also traveling all the way from Darwin, Des for helping strap everyone up, Jenna, Kirsty, Alicia, Ruby, Lacee, Allie & Stacey making the efforts, Al Hunt for coming over also to show his support, their was so many people there to support us on and off the field it was such a big team effort, we should all be so very proud of ourselves. Now time to head home with our hearts full and our swamp family a little more bigger. 💙💜
