Hi everyone,

Last week we had five teams playing finals matches and everyone wearing the mighty black and white made us proud! Congratulations to our Girls U10s, Boys U10s, and Girls U12-1 teams who have all won a spot in the Grand Final next week. Outstanding effort! Well done to our Boys U14-1’s who toppled Marby to make it through to this week. Our Boys U16’s narrowly lost their match against Strathmore, but have a second chance this week due to their brilliant season.

This week our Boys U14’s and Boys U16’s are back in action and are both playing at Joe Brown Oval (Keilor FC). Sunday’s forecast is looking great — sunny with a top of 18°C, so get along and support our teams in action. It will be a great afternoon of footy, with perfect playing conditions.

A respectful reminder to all players, volunteer officials, and supporters — finals footy can be intense and emotional, but that’s never an excuse to compromise the values and standards we pride ourselves on. While we may face teams and clubs with different approaches, we ask that you stay true to yours. Keep leading by example — because ultimately, we can only control what’s within our reach. #Don’tBeThatSupporter
