U20 NATIONALS COMPLETE 🫡

It has been a huge week for our athletes but we couldn’t be prouder of our teams and what they have achieved, not just over the last few days, but the work that they have put into this whole campaign!

A HUGE shout out to all of the players, parents, and supporters for everything and even more so, to the coaches and management staff. There is a lot of work behind the scenes that no one knows about, but WE SEE YOU and we thank you for your commitment 🫶

We now look forward to our Under 18 and Under 16 Nationals in July!
