🌧️ WEATHER UPDATE – JUNIOR FOOTBALL CANCELLED

Unfortunately, the weather has won this round! 🌧️

ALL junior football (Grades 10–13) is CANCELLED tomorrow, along with First Kicks / Fun Football.

The fields are absolutely sodden and, even though the rain is forecast to ease overnight, there simply won’t be enough drying time. Playing on them would risk causing significant damage, so we’ve made the call to protect the grounds.

So, enjoy the sleep-in! 😴

⚽ Grade 15: You are still playing tomorrow - good luck to the team! 💪

Thanks everyone for your understanding. Stay dry and we’ll see you back on the fields soon! ☔⚽
