U18s Win and new Senior Recruits Lift the team!
U18s posted their first win for the season. Well done to the boys on winning a nail biter 68 – 65 against 7th place Palm Beach. It was also a very impressive effort from the seniors who just lost against the Palm Beach who are 2nd place on the ladder. New recruits Albert Proud and Ethan Reading really stood up and established a sense of pride in the Pumas.
Albert is an ex-Brisbane Lions player and is very exciting to watch. Why don’t you come down to the club this weekend to watch the seniors take on Coolangatta Tweed Heads. Don’t miss this match it will be an exciting footy match indeed.
Come one, come all to our Trivia Night
In these tough times good value entertainment is hard to come by. The Pumas Trivia night is back by popular demand. Just $15 – which includes pizza & nibbles! You certainly don’t need to be a trivia buff to answer the questions. Plenty of sport and music knowledge will get you across the line. It is a fancy dress night so pull out the gear that you used to wear in the 80’s & 90's come as your favourite rock band member or movie star. We had a terrific turn out last year. Get your tickets at the bar through the week, organise a table for your team or get some tickets on the night.
