Port Juniors claim first flag of 2020

Port Macquarie Magpies claimed the first Premiership of both the day and the season when they took out the Under 11 Grand Final against Coffs Harbour Breakers.

The Port outfit showed their class through the middle stages of the contest when they kicked seven of their ten goal match tally to claim the title for the second year in a row. The Magpies are a highly skilled and well drilled outfit and were able to put together slick passages of play and positive ball movement.

To the credit of the young Breakers, they never gave up and had their most productive quarter of the match when the result was a foregone conclusion. A three goal last quarter was a good way for the Breakers to show their resilience after poor kicking in the first half left them goalless.

Team captain of the Magpies, Tobie Quinn, was best on ground for his team, while Annalise Crawley was Breakers strongest performer.
