The season ended last Saturday, 6th of September, but we had to wait another week to know our fate as our old nemesis, Old Ignatians had a game in hand. The Iggies needed a win against their old rivals Adelaide uni to stay in the top flight but it wasn't to be, as uni grabbed the maximum 3 points.

Match reports and news items have gone dry on this site for some time now. The reason is that yours truly has been extremely busy (and stressed) with uni commitments. Here's a brief summary of what's been good and awry in the last few months. Enjoy it while it lasts because I'll be gone for some time... again!!!
