More than ever, we are looking for mature (male and female) volunteers to help grow the pool of refereeing talent to cover senior games in the Shire.  To support this, mid-season intake courses are now scheduled for June 2019.

What a fabulous start to the club’s 60th year celebrations. Gymea played a great game, scoring just before halftime to lead 1 nil. The boys fought hard right through the second half conceding the equaliser in the 92nd minute in injury time. Unfortunately the game went to extra time & had no luck whatsoever …
