Sydney Cup and Association Cup is ongoing with all teams performing well and in the running for playoffs. Rookies trials commenced last weekend with the aim of entering 3 teams plus on the back of last year’s success another all girls team. Our LL Girls team heading up to Brisbane in December to compete in the Queensland State Championships have a couple of weeks training under their belts and a few scrimmage games planned over the next couple of weeks.

Believe it or not, the next report will see us a couple of weeks out from Christmas, starting to get organised for State Championships and the pointy end of the season.
