Last weekend the Kraken got together and celebrated the success of our season. After having a week to reflect as well as a few days to recover from the celebrations it’s great to be able to share a few snaps of the winners as well as thank all the people who came a long for the event.
As always I want to thank all our sponsors who have supported through the season. I also want to thank the players, supporters and families of the Kraken. It’s truly beyond words what you all mean to me and the club, so thank you. Congratulations to our winners of the evening, under 10 - Austin Jackson, under 12 - Elijah Faga, Zac Waddington, Boo Busteed. Under 15 - Richie Busteed. Under 20 - Dalton Davey. Legends men - Taani Prestney. Open women - Alesha Broad. Open Men - Joseph Gray. Club MVP - Anthony Faga.
