Around The Grounds
Touch Football
For the final round we went all out playing our best football ever. With 10 tries spread throughout the team it was a scoring extravaganza.
We introduced our new play of the wraparound leading to three tries scored by Emma.
Victoria, Scarlett and Sally breaking through the lines to and running away to round up the tally.
As we wrap up for the year it was fantastic to see the improvements made by all especially all our first timers.
Thank you to our coaches, the refs and all our sideline supporters.
