FAOI 10: Following our fantastic win in the John Mitchels Blitz the previous weekend we travelled to Miltown/Castlemaine blitz on Sunday last. While we didn’t bring any trophy home, more importantly we fielded two teams which meant all players got maximum game time which was of great benefit to them all.
All the Club wish a speedy recovery to Luke O Connell from a hand injury sustained in a recent U11 game. Luke was one of our star performers at the recent John Mitchels Blitz.
