	Day 1 at the AFL Championships in Alice Springs came and went with all teams in great spirit and playing with integrity and sportsmanship. Northern Suburbs Stars won’t need to do their washing tonight as they had a great hose down when the sprinklers on the hill magically turned on – cooled them down a treat. Top points to the Arnhem team who never stopped smiling for the whole day – whilst winning is tough, attitude is memorable. The Opening Ceremony was well presented with Mitch impressing all the players with his framed School Sport Australia Guernsey and Photo – well done Mitch. His speech was inspiring to all and listened to attentively.	Ladder Day 1
	Day 2 at the AFL Champs continued to display the great behaviour of the players. The members of our umpiring academy continued to grow in professionalism and standards. The games were fast paced and there was a great race for finals placings. The highlight of the day was to see Arnhem still smiling, kicking more goals and getting better overall.
