The grand finals for the 2017 season, in minis, mods and international, attracted a plethora of Group 21 clubs – including the Merriwa Magpies, Singleton Greyhounds, Scone Thoroughbreds, Denman Devils, Muswellbrook Rams and Aberdeen Tigers – as well as visitors Waratah/Mayfield, Morpeth, Valetine, West Maitland and Macquarie.

It’s been a big year for all players, along with their coaches, managers and, most importantly, the parents who supported them at each and every game.

The code is certainly booming in the regional area.
