AVSL 2024/25: Round 9 Wrap

The penultimate round of 2024/25 AVSL season saw us compete at the Tom Kelly Athletics Track for the final time this season. With four Division 3 teams activating their Powerplays during this round, there was plenty of competition to fend off.

With one round left in the season, Preston sits comfortably on the top of the table with 81 points, 14 points clear of second placed Williamstown Athletic Club.
