This season we will do everything we can to have another successful season. With the aFc Champions League on the horizon we are looking forward to a big year together. While we have retained most of our inaugural squad, this season we have added some key new players all of whom will play an important role for our Club as we look to build on last season. last week at our first match of the new hyundai a-league, it was hard to tell we were actually at an away match to Central Coast Mariners, such is the support we received.
