MONBULK JUNIOR FOOTBALL
SEASON 2016 has been a successful one for the Monbulk Junior Football Club – both on and off field.
Last Sunday saw all the families coming together for the annual presentation day.
It is often said that players win contests, teams win games and clubs win premierships.
This rings true at the Monbulk Junior Football Club with an additional team being fielded this year (the Under 9Bs) and the success of the 12Bs and 14As premierships, won two weeks ago at a sunny Yarra Glen.
Families enjoyed seeing the players being recognised for their personal efforts and sportsmanship.
