Six out of seven competition level teams qualified for semi-finals and four teams progressed through to grand finals.
Of those four teams, three won the decider with the Premier League Men, under-15s, and Youth Grade all being crowned premiers in 2018.
Hill Top had the most grand final winners of any of the Highlands Soccer Association (HSA) in 2018.
The Kookaburras had a team in every single HSA age group and were one of only two clubs to do so along with Moss Vale.
At the senior presentation, Craig Napper announced as the club’s 15th Life Member.
