Newsletter T1/W5
The winter competition season kicks off on the first weekend of April before the holiday break.
With multiple teams taking part in different age categories, players are very excited to be playing together again.
As we slowly move towards the half way mark of this term, players will start to take part in friendly games and tournaments over the coming weeks. Unfortunately this weekend’s tournament at West Sydney Wanderers has been postponed to a date yet to be confirmed.
More events are in the process of being confirmed locally, interstate and overseas. More information will be provided to individual families once we have confirmed dates as participation to these events is strictly by invitation.
See you on the field.
Cheers
