This weekend is NAIDOC Round for junior community football, a round where we recognise the amazing contribution of Aboriginal and Torres Straight Islander people to our community and our club.
Today we had the centre squares of both full sized ovals painted with the Indigenous flag design and they look amazing! The club will also fly the Indigenous flag all weekend along with other decorations celebrating the round and showing our respect.
