7th May 2012
The Warriors enjoyed an historic and exciting weekend when GESAC opened it's doors for a soft opening last Friday night and Saturday. With VJBL matches on Friday night and our Kids First program and third round of junior boys domestic matches,  the GESAC courts were full all day and ensured a great commencement to our GESAC adventure which was enjoyed by all. Excited parents and their kids were blown away by the new sports stadium and all it had to offer. We can't wait to start all our programs and competitions on a full scale at GESAC when it opens it's doors officially next week.

7th May 2012
The new stars debuted at GESAC last week and it was without doubt the highlight of the weekend's domestic games with plenty of people staying around to observe these exciting young athletes in action. From this Saturday we have decided to pit the wonderful skills of the New Stars against the best of our Warriors program.

The Warriors best juniors and open age players will now take on the New Stars in a series of matches as we look to build an elite and exciting U21 competition.

All members are invited to come along and enjoy some great and exciting action each Saturday at 6:00pm at GESAC as both these young groups look to hit it out on the GESAC courts each weekend.

ALL STAR GAME HIGHLIGHT OF WEEK ONE AT GESAC

12th May 2012
Week one has been a huge success at GESAC with more kids, more players and more teams joining our competitions. The highlight without a doubt was the match between the new stars and the Warriors All Stars in the last game on Saturday. With both teams filled with young talent it was a great match from start to finish played at a frenetic pace with some great defensive highlights.

The Warriors started the match undermanned with only five players, yet were the team who started the most strongly, jumping out to a double digit lead. In the second half the New Stars got on top until both teams had to endure a tense last few minutes before finishing with a tough and tight draw.

The two teams will go at it again next weekend at 6:00pm on the Saturday . Why not come on down and see some great basketball action played by some exciting young talent.
