Kit Return
With the closing rounds of the season, it’s time to think about team kit return.
What: Team Kit Return (jerseys, balls, bibs, training equipment, bags, keys)
When: 8:30 am to 12 pm, Saturday, 13/9/2025
Where: Kaleen Playing Fields, Birie Place, Kaleen ACT 2615
We ask that coaches/managers launder jerseys, prior to the kit return on 13/9/2025. Sniff tests will be applied to ensure compliance.
There is a Kit Return Inventory form that we request team representatives fill out prior their kit drop off to assist with counting kit items and reporting any missing items. This will help immensely with the off-season stocktake.
Please ensure that all jerseys are collected. Trophies will be withheld if a player’s designated jersey is not returned.
Lastly, we are asking for volunteers to assist with the Kit Return on the 13/9/2025. Please email admin@belnorth.org if you can assist.

Vikings Valiant in Defeat
On Saturday, the U16/3 Open Vikings took on the all conquering Weston Molonglo in the final down at Calwell, at a not very teenager-friendly 9 am!
Unfortuntately the form book ringed true with the, thus far, invincible Weston Molonglo taking out the match 7-4 against our plucky Vikings.
Well done to Ian, Hayden and their Viking chargers for a great season in 2025.
