This season we were very excited to be able to play all minor round and finals games, without any Covid-related cancellations.  We were fortunate enough to have three teams reach the grand final – Div 1 Traditional Women, Div 3 Traditional Men and Green Ball Div 2 (Friday Night).  Our Senior Traditional teams won convincingly in their respective finals and were haled 2021/2022 Premiers; and despite their very best efforts, our Green Ball Div 2 team (pictured) lost, but by the barest of margins – 1 tiebreak point, to be 2021/2022 Runner-up.  Our Div 1 and Div 2 Doubles teams also made finals but were both unsuccessful in their Semi-final round by stronger teams on the day, along with our Div 5 Boys and Green Ball Div 1 (Friday night) also losing their Semi-final.  Congratulations to all teams for their level of play, commitment and good sportsmanship.  Already looking forward to next season.
