Lions continue incredible run with Under 13 flag

Nambucca Valley Lions early existence in the AFL North Coast Junior Competition goes from strength to strength with their third Premiership win within just four years of forming.

The Lions overcame the Port Macquarie Swoopers in their best performance of the season to claim back to back Premierships in the Under 13 age group. After a tight first quarter, the Lions accelerated in the second and third terms to score three and four goals respectively against one goal for Port and put the result beyond doubt.

Credit to the Port Macquarie club which fielded two teams in the age group and managed to finish in second and fourth places on the ladder. This is a great sign that the Port club had the spread of talent spot on to create two very competitive teams.

Will Devereaux was deemed Best on Ground for the Lions, while Isaac Luke claimed the same honour for Port.
