steer the seniors in the right direction.
Whilst the Divie 2s came out fighting and gave Uni a touch up unfortunately the Divie 1s weren't able to replicate this. Good to see an improved effort by the Women who will take a few weeks to gel to their new coaching
leadership, whilst the U18s weren't able to follow up last weeks good start.
Social Birds
This week, some of our Premier League
experienced old favourites will be back for
our first home game, which means positions in the top league will be hard to
keep, and that the Divie 1s and 2s will be
strengthened as a result. See you at the
footy on Sunday — Main game at 4pm.
