THE New Norfolk Panthers senior side lost to Division 4 ladder leader Clarence at home on Sunday.

While the New Norfolk players did well and never gave in, they were outclassed on the day. The next game is against Derwent at Weily Park at 2.30pm this Sunday 25th. Spectators welcome.

Under 6 Red played a great game on home turf with Ruby scoring two goals while Jake, Harry, Noah and Anna kicked a goal each. It was a good game even though we were defeated. Well done guys, good teamwork.

Under 6 Black played well. Lucas kicked a goal and to Zack displayed great sportsmanship. Well done boys and thank you to Tim for coaching.

Under 7 Red enjoyed a great game against Brighton Yellow at Brighton. Tristain certainly had his kicking boots on, scoring a goal scored from the other end of the field. Tenesha and Brady scored a great goal with some super teamwork. What a team!

Under 7 Black had a good game with Dominic in very windy conditions, with all players contributing. A special mention to Oliver and Gemma. Well played.

Under 8 Red played a great game with some good saves by Josh and Declan in goals.  Lots of running and huge kicks from Jack, Nayte and Hamish and a strong defensive game on the backline by J’Khobi and Jacob.

Under 8 Black tried hard against a strong Brighton side. Jacob Judges and Jess Booth did very well in the goals. Special thanks to Jack for subbing for us before his own game and Joshua subbing in the Red team. Mikayla, Caitlin and Mia played well.

Under 9 played their best game ever, defeating Moonah Primary by seven goals to four. Goal scorers were Abby, Maiken, Cruez, Caleb and Luke. Well done to Ella in goals. Jenny, Caylin and Oliver did some great passing. Well done team.

Under 10 had a fantastic game against Brighton Gold tonight with a 6-1. Two great goals were kicked by Kiara, while Aidan, Alex B, Luke and Ostyn all scored one each. Defence work by Alex G, Alex Mc and Brock was outstanding. Freya and Kiara continually moved the ball forward all night. Great talking and passing by everyone, well done.

Under 11 defeated Brighton Maroon 8-3 at Tynwald Park on Saturday. Despite the wet and blustery conditions the team pulled together and supported each other throughout both halves. Goal scorers were Jed 4, Jacob 2, Levi and Dylan.
