The winter football season is well and truly under way, and we hope everyone is getting into their groove.
On the senior side of the game, there were some great results for our region's clubs in the ISPS Handa Chatham Cup recently, which have led to some exciting second round ties.
Meanwhile the Loaded WaiBOP Premiership, WaiBOP Championship and other local leagues are ticking along nicely.
The majority of our junior and youth leagues got under way at the start of Term 2, while the new WaiBOP Junior U-12 league, which kicked off in April, already seems to be an unqualified success. Weather has had an impact and we can only hope it sorts itself out soon.
Concussion is getting a higher profile these days across all sporting codes, and as a result ACC is playing a part in the awareness and management of concussion, in order to reduce the number of incidents.
