Junior teams share spoils

HUNDREDS of supporters headed to North Hobart on Sunday to cheer on young footballers who put on a show in four boys’ grand finals.

Southern Tasmania Junior Football League executive officer Tony Gibson congratulated the eight teams on a great day of footy.

“There were lots of excited crowds, enthusiastic participants and kind weather,” Mr Gibson said. “To have four grand finals and four different clubs winning premierships was a great result for all the clubs.”

The under-13 boys trophy was claimed by Claremont in a 15-point win after an impressive comeback against Clarence. Hunter Lockley took home the best on ground medal.

Lindisfarne prevailed over North Hobart by 12 points in the under 14 boys, with Jye Millward awarded best on ground.

Harry Sylvester nabbed the medal for his team’s convincing win in under-15 boys, with Clarence overpowering Lauderdale.

But Clarence could not bring home a second win in the under-16 boys, as Sandy Bay claimed victory with best on ground

Louis Smith at the helm.

The 2022 STJFL season will kick off in the first week of April.
