GROUNDS UPDATE | 03.09.26

Just a heads up that Michaels Ave 4 and 5 (that's the ones behind the cricket block and the field closest to the playground) are closed today.

Teams who train on these fields normally get an email from the club to their team manager to arrange another venue or to cancel training.

PLAYER OF THE MATCH | WOMENS FIRST TEAM

Sponsored by Aidans Yummy Honey

Defensively strong, lead the backline with bravey and smart challenges. She was also playing out from the back in a variety of ways which helped mix up our play

A pot of Aidan's yummy honey goes their way to say thanks for her efforts!

PLAYER OF THE MATCH | WOMENS RESERVES

Kendall added instant value as a substitute, showing her attacking quality with composed touches that saw her score and setup others.

As player of the day for the Womens Reserves, she will get a gift pack from Vitalize, to help her with recovery as well as many other benefits from using their cutting edge products. We are really excited about working with the team at Vitalize to help promote their already very popular products.

PLAYER OF THE DAY | MENS RESERVES

Making his starting debut for U23s against an experienced, physical and aggressive side. He coped well with the pressure, defended well when called upon and he played with courage in possession trying to find teammates between the lines. A boy with a great attitude and an exciting future!
