Two Minute Fridays

A quick shoutout to the SBOCA hockey club who won their first senior grand final in September last year. It was a hard-fought game, but the boys were victorious in normal time 2-0. There was elation all round to finally win a grand final after reaching several in the past and falling short.

Congratulations to President Jordan Magdalani and all involved.
