ATTENTION ALL FAMILIES… we have quite a large number of singlets in both the Junior and Senior Competitions with singlets missing from previous seasons.
To help us be as good as we can be in providing for our players, we need all singlets (no matter how long you’ve had them for) returned to us ASAP.
