Around the Grounds - Round 16 - Ballina Seahorses vs Bangalow / Mullumbimby / Yamba..

A disjointed week where Bangalow forfeited close to kick off and numbers filling in for 2nds and Presidents Cup meant chaos was in the air. Still a great effort from the club to get our numbers sorted and to help Mullumbimby with their fund raiser event. Tough times build character and we have shown plenty in all grades this year.

Let’s go Seahorses.

Around the Grounds - Round 11 - Ballina vs SCU Gold Rats.

Check out this weeks match reports from the coaches from around the grounds.

3 of 4 grades all played at the Maurie Dome at SCU. Cold, blustery day with all teams facing challenges with relish. While there was some adversity, it was great to see how all players and coaches responded with positivity and resolve. Having NSW Country Rep Alex Gibbon running on for the Kyogle Cockies while initially was seen as negative, the team applied themselves well and took on the challenge.

Let’s go Seahorses.
