Presidents Report

After a brilliant season across all grades , all that remains are the Finals on Saturday at the Lavington Sports Ground.
We have 4 teams playing Grand finals football. It is a testament to the dedication and hard work of the players, coaches, managers, parents and all other volunteers at the club that sees Hotspurs have one of its most successful years since we last won the Club Championship in 2004.
As stated throughout the year, one of the things that really highlighted our club during game days were its supporters that got many teams over the line. We need one last effort from you all, grab a ticket (online, details below) and head to the Lavington Sports Ground on Saturday, starting with U17 girls at 9:30am.
Celebrations will continue into the evening as we head back to our major sponsor Brady’s Hotel at 6:00pm, hopefully bringing some more silverware.
See you all Saturday
