"It was fantastic to see our AWFA players back on the park and getting a taste of playing in a tournament," AWFA high performance executive Belinda Mathews said.

"Players and families were excited to be back. This was ideal for our teams to come together, socialise and bond in a fun environment, while learning and fine-tuning their skills."

Murray United was also represented at the event with the NPL club's under-13 girls victorious in the cup competition.

The side was commended by Football Victoria officials for its behaviour on and off the field.
