Club Friendly
This match happened at 13:30pm and involved girls development, ladies threes and ladies twos who did not have a game this weekend. Availability was spectacular, enough players available within 24 hours to have two full sides. It was a game of new opportunities, including the opportunity for ladies ones player Annie Marr (who had previously scored in her match) to play as a goalie! The game was immense fun and assisted the ladies section in becoming an even stronger unit. A massive thank you to Fiona Von-Hinton for arranging the game at such short notice!
An enormous well done to Amanda Catling and Matt Ott for passing their Level One umpiring assessment this weekend!
Also a final thank you to Amanda Catling and Fiona Von-Hinton for organising this weekend's social! The ladies section had an amazing time ice skating and the adult section had a fun time at the social club with the secret santa!
