Club Champions for 2010/11 Lake Macquarie Dolphins
Wyong Cup Our womans team came home with the cup A shout out is deserved for Carla for coaching and leading the Wyong cup team as we only had 8 players, of which Georgia hurt her arm, Julia played with a broken finger and Tayla Tassios with a bung wrist and our more experienced ladies I am told had small hangovers :), so a heroic effort for sure but most of all they had heaps of fun. Report by Hilary Barton
And again . Our mens A grade team came Second in the Canberra Cup tournament. A great achievment against some very hard opposition.
More good results . Our mens A grade team came first in the Byron 5's tournament in early November. I was told that there were a couple of early losses but once in the final series our team came through. Congratulations to all
