In beating a very strong Carlton Central team by five points, the team recorded one of the greatest sporting achievements in Arno Vale's history. The fact that usual rivals Killisick and Arnold Mill finished 4th and 6th respectively highlights what an extremely competitive final this was. The standard was of the highest quality and it really should not be underestimated what a fantastic achievement this is.

Great representatives for Arno Vale and Gedling, qualifying from their family heat and then winning the district heat and going on to perform really well in the County Final (School Games). The team finished 4th and just two points off a bronze medal. What is very important to note is that this team not only competed with terrific enjoyment and enthusiasm but also with great sporting attitudes, always showing respect for opposition teams. Every single member contributed to our success. It was an absolute pleasure to coach them and be involved in the School Games County Final day.
