On a wild and windy day, Geelong Falcons reasserted themselves against a reborn North Ballarat Rebels. The Falcons were top-of-the-table taking on a Rebels side […]
Bottom agers grasp opportunity

Weekend That Was – Round 9
WET, COLD and MUDDY were three words that summed up Round 9 of the TAC Cup. With the weather struggling to hit the teens and constant rain, it made it the first weekend where no team hit 100 points.

In the opening match of the round, Dandenong Stingrays […]
