Last Round
The final game day of the winter season is here for U5 to U15.
It is recommended that team coaches/managers collect jerseys this weekend to launder them, ready for the kit return on Sunday, 15/9/2024. More details about Kit Return are available later in this newsletter.
With the last round remaining, the U15/2 Open Apaches have already claimed the premiership. The U13/4 Open Chaos need to avoid defeat against second placed GUFC Typhoons to secure their title. And the U13/2 Open Raptors have a slim mathematical chance of grabbing the top spot.
Well done to all Junior League teams for a great season!
U16 & U18 Semi Finals
We have three teams in Junior League Semi-Finals this coming Saturday, U16/1 Girls Stars, U16/2 Open Hawks and U18/1 Open Lions in the hope of making the following week’s finals at Calwell.
Good luck, teams!

- U18/1 Open Lions vs Marist FC : 3:10 pm @ Marist College 3
Senior Finals
The seniors are now done for the season with finals on the weekend. In the only final Belnorth were competing in, the CLO5 Bisons kept the all conquering UC Stars FC down to 5 goals in the final to claim the runners up medal. Despite the result, they kept smiles on their faces. Good season Bisons!
