Match Reports Sunday:

U’17 Ladies v Diamonds: Won 1 - 0: While most members of the club were recovering from hangovers from a Saturday night binge, what doesn’t seem to be going away is a Hotspurs victory over Wodonga Diamonds. This tradition continued on Sunday with our Seventeen Girls team flying the only black and gold flag on the day, earning the 1-0 victory on the opposition’s own turf. I would like to commend every player on the park because it was a team effort that earned us this hard fought victory. With our Seventeen Ladies winning, it completed a clean sweep for this weekends matches. It was also very pleasing to keep a clean sheet. WELL DONE DEFENCE.
