Footy Celebration at Numero Uno 

The Under 11 West team celebrated at Numero Uno on Tuesday night after our valued sponsor proudly offered both our premiership winning sides an 'Eat For Free Night' in honour of their Premiership wins. U14B will be there next week. 

Vito and the U11's presented owners Sam and John with a framed set of Premiers jumpers to display in the business.

Thank you Sam and John, and everyone at Numero Uno, for your continued support of the Altona Juniors. We appreciate it!

Go Vikings.
