Navarre and Harcourt clash in MCDFNL round 14

Hosting Harcourt last Saturday, Navarre's Under-11 footballers delivered an even four-quarter performance to coast to a comfortable 29-point win.

Ryder Sullivan kicked two goals for the winners and was named among the best, while Harry Holloway, Angus Stewart and Kenna Lorusso continued their good run of recent form.

Meanwhile the Under-14's were made to work hard for their victory after trailing for the first half and staring at a seven-point half-time deficit against their lower ranked opponents.

It was a different ball game, however in the second half as the young Grasshoppers kicked seven goals to one, running away with a 36-point victory.

Heath Senior was again the destroyer up forward to finish with six goals - taking his tally for the year to 55, while Bradley Carter, Will Moloney and Fraser Dunn were again named among the better players as Navarre won their sixth straight game.
