With only 3 matches played on matchday 34 it was an easy choice to make. The Golden Week TOTW goes to Real Celts. The 5-2 victory over Oakwood Clash puts them 6 points clear at the top of Division 3.

The rebrand in the summer was controversial. The Geckoes turned into SUNS FC. Geckoes had a rich history in the FJ Cup & Plate. A decade ago they won the Cup and 5 years ago they won the Plate. The Plate final will always be remembered for the 16/15 penalty shootout scoreline.
