Item of the Match
⚡️ Starting XII: ““There’s a sign that says ‘Rowdy Audi, 12th Player’ and I think that says it all. There’s 11 of us on the field and we spread that energy but our fans and how rowdy they are gives us a lot of energy to feed off as well.” — Croix Bethune, 7
🧱 Exclusively at the Stadium: Show your support for your Spirit captain and keeper, Aubrey “Brick Wall” Kingsbury!
