Thirteen people were ejected from the oval for being intoxicated and behaving in an unruly manner, but no arrests were made.

Operational Commander for the event, Sergeant Matthew Corbitt says it was a “great turn out.”

“The good behaviour of the crowd allowed people to have a safe and enjoyable time and it was definitely a family friendly environment.”
