The 1^st Grade team now have hosting rights to the Grand Final which will be played against either Armidale Westside United FC or Moore Creek with a 2^nd chance opportunity, the match taking place in front of a bumper crowd at the complex during the Joey’s Mini World Cup Soccer event.

Meanwhile, the reserve grade team weren’t quite as fortunate as the 1sts, going down 2-1 against Oxley Vale Attunga, however have a chance to redeem their loss when they once again hit the road to Tamworth next weekend.
