This weeks also sees the completion of the Under 18 Girls season. Their last game is against the Henley Sharks at Henley this Friday night at 7.45pm. Coach Luke Gunn has been able to get the team to produce a very competitive season, and the team has made significant improvements from last season, despite multiple injuries to key players. Well down Gunny and team. You have done the Woods proud in 2018.
