Taking out the Men’s Central Victorian League One SuperCup and the Women’s Central Victorian League Two SuperCup, the Ibises are hungry for more success in 2023.
Senior men’s coach Tristan Zito — who scored a crucial goal in extra time of the SuperCup final — said it was good to take out two senior premierships.
“It all just came together and we (the men) did it over our rivals in the grand final, Shepparton South, so that made it even sweeter,” Tristan said.
“Obviously it was quite crazy and we won on penalties, but everyone’s keen and more hungry than ever to try and go back-to-back, which would be the first time we’ve ever done it in the senior men.”
Shaping up for another big season this year, Tristan said the squad had already started preparations for the new campaign.
“We’ve already started pre-season and the squad’s looking good,” he said.
“We’ve kept everyone from last year and probably added a few more, which will be handy, and the girls have started back as well so things are looking good at Ibis land.
“I’d say everyone’s probably more motivated and hungry than I expected.
“Sometimes you expect a bit of a premiership hangover or whatever, but everyone was keen to start pre-season and they got going before Christmas.”
