U19’s into Semi Final 2019


This Sunday the U19’s play in the Semi Final against Lilydale.  The game is at East Ringwood Reserve on Sunday September 1st from 10am.

Earlier in the season the U19’s defeated Lilydale at their ground, but they got us back in the return game at home.  Both games were close so it should be a cracking game.

The team is unchanged from last weeks big victory over Knox.
