“It also gave our loyal "Parents of Murray Soccer" group a chance to get back into action and support us from the hill. I would like to thank Mr Carlile (Cara Carlile's Father) for his amazing performance in goal during the last part of the game - he definitely put a smile on everyone's face - and was awarded a shutout for his efforts!"

“I'm excited to welcome our new players and know we can build on the success from last season,” Acreman added. “The team has worked hard over the spring season. We'll keep disciplined in our training this summer and we have a great group of players so the sky is the limit for this team.”
