Treasurer: Angela Harvey-Connelly Committee members: Aidan Maddigan, Kurt Wheldon, Carolyn McLennan, Dane Townsend, Kyle Townsend and Jamie Richardson We are also happy to announce that Kurt Wheldon will be coaching again after another successful year in charge which led to B grade winning the premiership, A reserve making it to a Preliminary final and after a tough season in A grade a lot of improvement from an inexperienced group which will be invaluable going into the next season. Congratulations Kurt and to all board members we are very excited for a bigger and better year for the club. Go sassy

25.01.2022 With all games called off today the club will be open from 2pm. The coach would like to see as many players as possible come down for a refreshment.
