Committee member Steph Halpin, who plays and referees, said the winter competition mixed grand finals showcased how good the competition was.
"There was some really quality games," Halpin said of last week's grand finals.
"Even though our competition isn't large, the quality is fantastic. In B grade, I refereed there and they were fantastic. The skill and pace was really impressive."

Halpin said the committee's goal was to increase player numbers and they hoped that would happen when the summer competition rolls around.
It starts in July and information on how to register will be released shortly.
After re-affiliating with NSW Touch in 2021, TTA will also pursue representative avenues as the newly re-branded Tamworth Titans.
To represent the Titans, players will need to be registered in one of the local competitions, Halpin said.
The committee member also encouraged first-time players to have a go at touch, saying they will be well-supported on the field.
"Our referees, they not only officiate but coaching the newer players and newer teams," Halpin said.
"It not only helps them learn the game but improves the enjoyment as well."
