Junior football update

NEW Norfolk's Under 14 and Under 16 teams progress to the finals of the Southern Tasmanian Junior Football League following their final roster matches last weekend. The Under 8s, Under 9s and Under 10s played their final games on Sunday, ending another great season. Under 11-13 play their games this weekend.

There was a great roll up at the annual NNJFC Adult/Son Breakfast on Saturday morning at the NNDFC. Glenorchy senior coach Ben Beams came along as guest speaker and the breakfast was provided by the New Norfolk Old Players Association. This event continues to be a real highlight for the junior footballers and a big thank you must go to Michael Graham for organising yet again. Well done Michael.

The NNJFC Best and Fairest count for the Under 13s, Under 14s and Under 16s will be held at the New Norfolk District Football Clubrooms on September 6. Trophies will be presented, supper will be provided and there will also be lucky door prizes. The cost is $5 for adults (children free). RSVP to team managers by August 30.

The last quarter saw Sorell fight back, kicking five goals to New Norfolk’s single behind, but this wasn’t enough by Sorell with New Norfolk hanging on for a 10 point win and top spot on the ladder. Congratulations to Jake Campbell on playing his 50th Game. Well done Jake.
