Awww! Still SO proud of the boys for making it so far!
Well done boys and good luck for the future!

[nacho]

not fussed weather win or lose, the boys have done great
but being 10 all at half time , then letting them score 32 points is pretty poor for any team

Take a look at all the results, the young blokes put in a good effort to get there and didn't do too badly when you consider that the Bulldogs were the stand out tear away side for nearly the entire competition.

I'm proud of the team and look forward to seeing some of them in the Under 20's in the coming years.

Likewise.
Great effort.

[Bourbon Rat]

Great effort for an inaugural season - It took our founding seniors two seasons to achieve that.

[Super Cronk]

Yep great effort. Cant win them all...next year they will be even better.

[MENACING*STORM]

All (soft) drinks are on me

Geez Dude

The boys didn't have it easy, they don't fly up 2 days before the match and get into any rythm - some of them were up around 4-5am to get to the airport, the bulldogs were only 30 minutes from the ground ... gives them a hell of an advantage....

[Bullets]

Yeh well done to the boys...was always going to be a tough ask against the Dogs.
