Our U15s had a competitive interleague season, finishing mid-table after battling hard. They showed great determination & continued to work hard, gaining valuable experience along the way. A big well done to all the players who represented the GMCL & contributed to the season 👏🏼

Seems like a lifetime ago. When I read about these sorts of reports I always focus on the great people affiliated to the NMCL. We had some brilliant administrators across the years.
