WITH two of our flagship sports teams in national competitions achieving great heights this year - the Northstars going down in a tight finish at the AIHL grand final and the NRLW Knights taking out a convincing win to claim the premiership - the tide may be turning for sport across the region.
In football a number of clubs have recently celebrated major anniversaries with Toronto FC marking 100 years, Lake Macquarie City Football Club 110 years, and both West Wallsend and Edgeworth 130 years since a ball was first kicked in competition. The history that was revisited during these events was exceptional, with Toronto Stags in particular displaying an in-depth representation of its past that would make anyone involved in the club extremely proud.
