With a wet end to the season, we were lucky enough to finish off with a combined day of Junior round robin and presentation, semi-finals and grand finals for competitive age groups. We cannot thank all the parents, coaches/managers of each team enough. Parkes Junior Soccer would not be able to run without the support and dedication of each teams’ volunteers! 

We would like to thank Mayor Ken Keith OMA for his attendance and presenting the special awards on the day.
