North-East footy is alive this finals season with the region well represented in both junior and senior final action.
In a first for the Scottsdale Football Club, it has two under 14 teams playing at York Park this weekend for the NTJFA finals – a major boost for club morale after being hit hard by criticism following the senior team’s acceptance into next year’s Premier Division.
Junior Director Clint Lette said it was very exciting for the club.
“The Under 14 girls enjoyed last week off after their win against undefeated ladder leaders North Launceston in the qualifying final. They came together as a team to support the under 14 boys who played their best game of the season to come away with the win against George Town on Sunday.
“The boys are super excited and have their full side back together for their big game on Saturday against East Coast.”
The East Coast Swans also have two junior teams also hitting the hallowed turf of UTAS Stadium over the weekend, with under 12 and under 14 teams making it to the Grand Final.
Bridport has proved the highlight of the NTFA Division One finals series, knocking off Perth over the weekend.
The Seagulls are now just one win away from a Grand Final berth against Lilydale, who secured their spot in the big dance with a morale boosting win over Old Scotch.
The Seagulls now face the Thistles in a must-win encounter at Evandale on Saturday.
