This past Friday night the Toronto Dingos hosted their 17th annual AFL Grand Final party at the Sportscentre Cafe. A longtime sponsor of the club and the weekly Thursday night destination for the boys after training, the SCC is an unbelievable venue to watch and enjoy the game. As in years past, around 9pm each of the 30+ televisions in the place was tuned to footy with the boys enjoying highlights of the semifinal clashes leading up to the Grand Final between Hawthorn Hawks and Sydney Swans. By game time, the place was packed with fans from both sides and stayed that way right up to the wee hours of the morning. All fans were treated to an epic Grand Final as shifting momentum swings had both clubs in the lead late, before the Swannies put it away in the end.
With 368 people through the door (according to Gatekeeper Jake "Pay Me!" Steinberg) and over 300 raffle tickets sold, it was a hugely successful night for the club and couldn't have been done without some hard work behind the scenes. Special thanks go out to Craig Stewart, Jake, James Duggan and Ally, Mick McFarlane, and JV for organizing the night and working the door. Big thanks to those who donated raffle and door prizes as well! Winners of raffle prizes were announced at half time and congratulations go out to the following winners:
