Congratulations Gladstone Suns AFC for organising such an inclusive and fun day that we were able to be part of. These events dont happen accidentally, they take a lot of planning and effort from dedicated volunteers, well done!

The Gladstone Suns were crowned the inaugural Challenge winners, claiming the $2,000 Club Development Grant after combining strong on-field performances with outstanding Pride Round engagement.
