Finals time is fast approaching and our Hornets are hype! 🔥
With most of our teams currently sitting in the top 4, they`re packing their bags for the Finals already. However, there`s still a few more games of the season left to go - and with our Waratah Men currently sitting in 7th, they`ll need to win their last game of the season against Blacktown this weekend to punch their ticket.
Head down to the HIVE this Saturday at 2:30pm to watch our Waratah Men & Youth Men 1 🐝❤
Just in case you wondered, this kid is only 13 years old. Watch out Perth, our U14 Boys are coming 🔥🔥

MJL FINALS WRAP-UP | HORNETS FINALS
After 9 teams travelled to compete in the MJL Semi Finals, we had 5 Hornets teams qualify for the Grand Finals held on Sunday. It takes a community to get through a season, with parents giving up their weekends, players dedicating a lot of time and energy to their training and most of all the amazing coaches who work tirelessly on developing athletes skills and knowledge throughout the season, with all of our teams giving it their all.
Our U12 Girls Green took on tough competition against the Sydney Comets, and despite a very close game the girls finished up the competition in second place. Meanwhile, the U12 Girls Red took on Sydney Comets as well and managed to take out the win despite a close scoreline all game.
The 16 Boys White played a nail-biting final and despite leading at half-time, they couldn`t quite hold onto the win against Norths. Our 16 Girls White took on the Hawkesbury Jets where they had a decisive win, and our 18 Boys Red had a similar win against Penrith Panthers to take home the gold!
A huge congratulations to the whopping 11 Hornets Referees selected for finals!
