Welcome to 2026

This season will look a little different from what has been the norm over the past few years due to changes to senior competitions. These changes, implemented by AHA, have affected how teams have been formed and how we have sought to place them into appropriate grades and playing days to best support our community.

As a committee, we acknowledge that we are not perfect; however, we are committed to doing our best to ensure the best possible outcomes. Some aspects may take time to settle, and certain changes are beyond our control. We kindly ask for your patience and understanding. Please know that we are always open and happy to listen, and we appreciate your support as we work through these changes together.

As we begin the season, we would like to remind all players and supporters of the importance of playing fairly, respecting umpires, and maintaining a positive, enjoyable environment for everyone involved.

Please be advised that our policy regarding umpire abuse remains firmly in place. Any such behaviour will not be tolerated and will result in stand-downs being enforced.

We also ask that all spectators and supporters are made fully aware of the Club’s expectations while on the sidelines, and that these standards are upheld at all times.

Good Luck everyone!
To play the game is good, To win the game is better, To love the game is BEST!!!
