“The competitions are challenging and competitive, but we’ve always faced them with good spirits.
“In 2016 we made it to the semi finals, placing 2nd after a score of 1-0 against a Dubbo team.
We are a welcoming and friendly group of girls who will try and help anyone to achieve their goals within the team.
Training is held once a week at Billy Dunn Oval, Gulgong.
