Congratulations to the senior football team finally taking out the win against North Bendigo to win the Golden City Cup for the first time since its inception in 2004. Coach Stacy Fiske was presented the cup by HDFL Secretary, Trevor Arnel. Ryley Dickens was instrumental in the win and was judged Best on Ground by the umpires to win the Talbot/Robertson medal. Keith Robertson presented the medal to Ryley. Huntly came out comfortable winners by a margin of 30 points. The 2 teams will meet again in 2 weeks in the elimination final.
Unfortunately the A Grade netball team went down having won the cup 6 times in previous years. The Hayes/Simpson medal was awarded to Bobby Simpson (North Bendigo), a fitting win for a great game and for her mother whom the medal is named after. Dianne simpson was unable to attend on the day due to an illness but was represented by her son Mick who presented the medal to his sister, Bobby. Cheryl Hayes presented the Hayes/simpson cup to the captain of North Bendigo who ran out comfortable winners.
Leah Mead sang the national anthem prior to the match.
