the gathering group in the centre represents the 2 teams at the end of a match, coming together, shaking hands and upholding great sportsmanship no matter the results of the game or how tough it may have gotten on the court.
The black U symbols down the side of the yellow strips represent paying our respects to elders past present & future & the traditional owner group the Bunurong people, it’s the importance of acknowledging them in all settings and I wanted a space individually to recognise that. ” Yalanda Kngwarraye Edwards.
