The under 15s team have built a strong team from the start of season till now, they should be proud of themselves at all their hard work and their achievements this season, playing in division one and winning against some of the toughest teams.

Under 11
A few weeks ago, the Under 11s were soundly thrashed by today's opponent the Jindalee Yellow’s. Today, they lost by just 4 points 4.2-26 to 4.6-30.
A massive improvement in the defensive and attacking skills by the Redbacks today saw a strong finish with three goals to nothing in the last quarter.
Every player contributed today, with strong defensive tackling, movement through the midfield, and attack at the goals. A super effort.
