"We have a very healthy number of colts, from our All Stars/Dynamos, starting at the age of five, through to our U15s. We also introduced a ladies team. I’m proud to be a part of a fantastic group of volunteers and players, who keep grassroots sport going and who allow so many to enjoy playing sport."
