Tonight, we are going back to the Exies Sports Club after the game. All supporters are welcome.
Commiserations go to Brent Hathaway who was unfortunately injured during the second semifinal resulting in surgery and will miss today game. I am sure everyone at the Club feels for Brent and we hope above everything that you have a full and speedy recovery.
