All in attendance enjoyed a slideshow of memories from each team’s season and a meal before the vote count began.

After a wonderful season all deserving winners were awarded their trophies and thanks made to all the amazing volunteers that step up each week to help out and make sure that our teams can play.

Congratulations to all our winners and to everyone that participated in what was a successful and enjoyable season.

Thank you to all the volunteers and committee members who put the night together and made it special for the players and their families.
