A dinner at the Parkside to celebrate the end of season and award trophies was enjoyed by all. Even better was the fact that we had won the premiership in the first grade competition.
We were honoured to have the former international B Jarman speak with humorous reminiscences of his international career.
Some excitement occurred with the hold up at the hotel and Mumbles and Pat McCarten bravely conveyed the victim to hospital in Mumble's ambulance cum combi.
