With limited opportunities in the first half New Norfolk scored two great goals by Ryan Browning and Mika Wilson. Ryan Emery in goals and the New Norfolk backline had a lot of pressure on them with a fast Cygnet forward line but there were many great saves. A great goal from Sam from a throw in and quick pass from Jack Rose gave us our third goal. Great skill was shown by Jack Rose throughout the game which also led to a goal from a penalty. Ryan Browning had a great attacking game, scoring the final goal. With great coaching by Andy Nichols, New Norfolk has sneaked into third on the ladder. A great effort

Seniors: New Norfolk Division 4 lost 5-1 at home against the second top team, Metro. An outstanding first half had the team only one goal behind 2-1. To start with  Metro took the lead with a fine header and went two ahead following a wayward back pass, however the team rallied and dragged themselves back in the game with Ollie Chaplin firing an unstoppable shot past the hapless keeper. The second half started well for New Norfolk but they lost a third goal at the back post following a Metro corner. With nothing to lose New Norfolk threw caution to the wind and went on the attack. Despite creating chances to score they were unable to hit the back of the net and with space left at the back Metro scored twice more to kill off the game. This Sunday sees New Norfolk play another home game at 2.30, this time against DOSA.  Come along and support your team.
