As we approach the summit of the 2026 season, it is important now more than ever to recognise our sponsors that helped us get to this point.

Without the generosity of these sponsors, the club simply would not be able to operate. Their kindness has allowed us to have enough resources to train with, jerseys to play in, and off-field functions to enjoy.

Thank you to everyone involved, and we look forward to continuing our relationship in the future!

TEAM LISTS, GRAND FINAL, AUGUST 29, ERIC TWEEDALE OVAL #1:

It’s time!!! We are only a day out from the biggest day of the year - Grand Final Day!!!

50% of the club have grand finals tomorrow, with Second Grade looking to secure their first title of the 21st Century, and The Nalas vying for their spot in history as they chase the Joy Johnson three-peat.

The Nalas will be the first game at 10:15am, with Second Grade kicking off at 1:20pm.

Another post will be out soon on details of the ground and entry conditions.

The last couple of years, Hornsby fans have dominated in numbers, and it’s been a huge factor in the club’s recent Grand Final day successes. Be there with your flags and supporter gear to cheer on our boys and girls!

Bus 2 (9:00am departure from MTO) is now SOLD OUT. Please do not try to purchase a ticket for Bus 2.

There are still 20 spots left on Bus 1 (7:30am departure from MTO).

Remember that both buses will be leaving Eric Tweedale Oval at 3:30pm, with the idea that one bus will be priority seating for players and coaches first, and the rest to be filled with supporters.
