Eagles on the road this weekend

SFL Season 2013
Round 8 Preview

Cygnet v New Norfolk at Cygnet at 2pm Saturday

NEW Norfolk is on the road this weekend on one of the longest away journeys to take on Cygnet after a comfortable victory over Huonville last week in Round 7 at Boyer. Brett Booth continues his great form for the Eagles as New Norfolk look to clear out on top of the ladder. Cygnet’s form has been consistent at home this year and the Cygnet boys will be keen to show a turnaround after a poor performance against East Coast Bombers last round.

The battle of the spearheads Ben Halton and Michael Thompson who have been racking up the goals could make this game one to watch. The players from the Port will have to compete for four quarters and be at their best to make this one a contest, but even given their home form so far this year it’s expected that the Eagles will once again be too strong and stay on top of the ladder.

Report and photos by WADE GLEESON

THE Derwent Valley Women's Netball Association held its summer roster trophy night at the New Norfolk District Football Clubrooms on May 18. All teams were well represented which made for an excellent night.

Kylie Walker did very well, winning the A Grade best and fairest trophy, while Abbie Gregson took out B Grade and Finn Roberts C Grade. After the meal and trophy presentations, some kicked up their heels on the dancefloor while others reflected on the season that was.

All teams would like to thank the following office bearers and umpires for yet another great roster - president and treasurer Stacey Benson, vice-president Michelle Nichols, secretary Renee Chaplin and umpires Trudi Townsend, Leanne Cutlan and Debbie Foster.

President Stacey Benson who works very hard behind the scenes said the next roster will start in around four weeks time. At this stage there are 10 teams expected, which is great for this time of the year. If you would like to start your own team or join a existing one, go to the Derwent Valley Women's Netball Association Facebook page. Congratulations to all trophy winners.

New Norfolk downs Huonville

Southern Football League - Round 7New Norfolk v Huonville at Boyer Oval

THE Eagles continued their excellent start to the 2013 season at the weekend, staying on the winners list with bags of goals to Brett Booth (5) and Michael Thompson (4) contributing significantly to the result. It was the accuracy of the Eagles that made the difference and the Derwent Valley team now stays atop the ladder with a handy percentage after Round 7.

After a tight first three quarters, New Norfolk opened the floodgates in a final quarter which added five goals to their score while holding Huonville goalless. In the end an eight goal to four second-half made the difference as the Eagles took over with Booth and Sam Hall being the best players on the day.

Huonville showed bursts of good play but still need to deliver four quarters to see them gain a big scalp this season. For Huonville, James Lange was the standout player and Darren Garth again led the way on the scoreboard with seven goals.

In the Reserves game earlier in the day New Norfolk had a massive victory by 138 points and also took out the Colts match by 43 points for a clean sweep.

New Norfolk was outclassed by a more committed Lindisfarne team. The Lindisfarne players were consistently first to the ball and ran in numbers. New Norfolk’s backline was constantly under pressure and without the efforts of Kye Tomkinson and Cooper Triffitt the margin would have been greater. The boys now need to re-group and get back to the style of football they were playing prior to the bye. This Sunday's game is against Southern Storm at Tynwald Park at 12.30pm. A reminder to parents and players that the boys need to be at the ground by 11am for team photos.

New Norfolk junior soccer

THE coaches of New Norfolk's junior soccer teams report on last weekend's matches.

Under 6 Red: Played a great game against Brighton White. Well done team.

Under 6 Black: Played Moonah Primary. It was a good game in tough windy conditions. Special mention to Rodney Browning and Cody Britten for playing well.

Under 6 White: Had a super game against Brighton with all five boys scoring a goal each. Special mention to Liam for kicking his first goal of the season.

Under 7 Red: Had a great game against their fellow club team U/7 Black with Nayte, Mia, J’Khobi, Mikayla and Daniel playing a fantastic game with lots of hard work in defence.

Under 7 Black: Played New Norfolk U/7 Red. It was a close and exciting game as both teams tackled and won the ball, taking it down to their end and then having it taken by the other team and back up the other side. Well done to all the kids for great defending, attacking and goal scoring.

Under 7 White: Played their best game so far, getting a win against Derwent United under lights Friday night. Cale scored 6 goals and Jacob 1.

Under 8: Played their best game ever, winning 4-2 against Brighton.. Abby scored one goal, Maiken 2 and Cruez 1. There were some awesome saves from Caleb and Georgia in goals. Oliver, Sam, Cody and Luke all shared the ball, getting in there and giving it their best.

Under 9: Had a win against Brighton Gold 3-1. Goal kickers were Jacob, Ostyn and Aidan. Goal keepers Luke and Alex McMillan made some great saves. Well done New Norfolk, you played extremely well.

Under 10: Had a bye.

Under 11: Played a fantastic game, holding their defence well in the first half with nil-all at the beginning of the second half. Unfortunately it was a loss in the end but all players did well and are starting to work as a team. Special mentions to Jayden, both Jacobs and our awesome goalie Casey. Well done!

Under 14D: Played New Town Eagles at the Showgrounds in horribly windy conditions on Saturday morning.  It was so windy that one goalie could almost kick a goal at the other end with his kick-ins while the other just had it fly back at him! Although it was a 5-4 loss it was an evenly matched game with both sides working hard. Jack Rose, Aynsley Daft and Sam Plunkett-Smith worked tirelessly to get the ball forward while Adam Blackwell again played a fantastic game in goals. Well done team.

Under 14C: Played Beachside in much better conditions at Sandown Park on Saturday afternoon. Again it was an evenly matched game with both sides playing exceptionally well. Standouts this week were Blake Priest, Campbell Evans and Jacob George. These boys have really stepped up their game these last couple of weeks and should be proud of their efforts. Thomas Fulton made some spectacular saves in goal, with the game ending in a nil-all draw. Congratulations team on a great effort.
