As the sun dipped below the horizon, we gathered around a beer garden, toasting to the day’s highlights while the game played on a massive screen nearby. The collective joy in the air was contagious, and with each clink of glasses, I realized this was the essence of Grand Final Day - a celebration of community, shared passions, and new connections.
