The Football Section hosted the junior boys grand finals for U/16 and U/14 age groups at Bisinella Oval on the weekend of 2-3 September. It was a huge couple of days with massive crowds and a carnival atmosphere, and saw our hospitality areas remain busy from the first game to the last. Everything ran smoothly thanks to the planning by the preparation sub-committee along with a healthy sized group of volunteers who rotated through across the weekend.Congratulations to our sub-committee for their work and to all volunteers for stepping up to help the club benefit from hosting the finals.

Our Football Section AGM is fast approaching. We have announced it will occur on 18th October at 7.30pm at the LSC. As was the case last year and in keeping with our ‘one club’ objectives, it will run back-to-back with the Netball Section AGM. We encourage all members to come along and hear from your Senior Committee about the year just passed, our performance across key portfolios and to see who will represent you next year. If you are interested in joining the committee, we would love to hear from you – please email LaraFootballClub@gmail.com to register your interest or request more information.
