Game 1, no training, fitness not quite where we need it, new partnerships to get used to, a senior team with a Year 11 majority playing against Year 12/13's and down 4-9 after the first quarter.

These could have been our excuses but in true Dunottar style, we rose and rose a bit further. Tenacity, collaboration and great sporting spirit took us all the way to a one goal victory.

Well done to a very talented team with an exciting season ahead.
