💙🖤💛 THAT’S A WRAP ON 2026 💙🖤💛

Unfortunately, we found out the other day that our Senior Men’s final round will be a bye, meaning last weekend’s home game was officially our final game of the 2026 season.

It’s been an extremely frustrating season when it comes to the fixture, at times only finding out days before that we’d be travelling hours away for a game.

But regardless of what was thrown at us, the Crushers still fielded a team every single week.

At times we travelled with minimal numbers, battled injuries and faced plenty of challenges — but we never forfeited. We showed up, backed each other and proved to anyone who doubted us that the Crushers are here to stay. 💪

We want to say a massive THANK YOU to our sponsors, supporters, volunteers, players, families and everyone who has helped us throughout what has been a standout year for our club.

We are incredibly proud of what we’ve achieved in 2026 — and we’re only getting started.

Keep following the page for updates as we head towards the Harmony Festival and begin building towards an even bigger 2027 season.

Up the Crushers! 💙🖤💛
