This season we had our U/14’s and two U/15’sides reach the finals.

Our two U/15’s teams (Jets and Bombers) progressed through to the Grand Final which both teams successfully won.

Our Jets team took out the Purple Division premiership under the guidance of Rob Whitney.

The team were unbeaten all year and complimented their season with another flag to continue the success of this group of players.

The Bombers side had an exciting win in a nail biting finish that was completed in front of a rapidly increasing spectator base at Troy Park who was arriving for our club end of season Wind Up.
