From our reporter at Lennox Head:
"One of our few teams to play today has got the season off to a flier.
The Grade 12 Div 2 Stingrays had an early morning kick off at Lennox and posted an emphatic 7-1 win.
A superb hat-trick from Sara Santos was the stand out performance."

Well done for an awesome start to the 2012 season!
