Hooray! A second year (in a row!) in A Section.
Alan Burrows succeeded Andrew Kennedy as president.
Andrew Ramsden, Lincoln Reynolds, Chris Frost and Colin Phillips were selected in the VAFA state team
Relegation was in our minds after 9 rounds with the Firsts sitting uncomfortably in 7th position with 4 wins and 5 losses. The Reserves were 6th (3-6), the U19s 4th (6-3) and the 3rds 7th (3-6).
We steadied the ship in the second half of the year, winning the last four games including a 58 point win over Old Scotch in the last round. Another year in A Section was assured, but none of the senior teams would make finals. The Firsts and Reserves both finished 5th. The Firsts with 10-8 and the Reserves 9-9. The 3rds finished 7th on 5-10. The U19s, however, finished 4th with 11 wins and 5 losses.
Sadly, the U19s only managed to last the one week, losing their first semi-final.
