Juniors

All three teams playing in the preliminary finals over the weekend won
their matches meaning they progress to the Grand Finals.

There are only 12 Grand finals being played this weekend and Ryde is in 11 of them – As my 8yr old daughter would say:  “O. M. and G.!!”

An absolutely fantastic result and a credit to all the players, coaches, managers, parents and of course Cecilia.

Where to go to watch?  Take your pick.

Games are at Ryde and Cintra on Friday night then Ryde and Pennant Hills on Saturday.

Good luck Pantherlings!

Mens

Agonising games over the weekend – our 1st grade team were desperately
unlucky to close out their season with a 1-3 result to NWS, but despite
that it was arguably the best year we have had for a long time.   Every
year the boys are raising the bar and this year finishing 2nd on the
ladder was an awesome achievement. (1st Grade pictured)

8th grade had a similarly tough encounter and after a draw at full time and into 1v1s they came off second best.

On the plus side 9th grade secured a win with a 2-1 victory so  we have 2 mens teams in the Grand Finals this weekend.

Masters

Our B Grade team were behind (0-1) last week with 7 mins to go but found
a new gear and scored 2 goals in as many minutes to book their spot in
the Grand Final next week.

A grade join their B grade counterparts in the grand final after an
emphatic 8-2 victory over Manly last night. Highlight of the evening was
a brace of goals from Glen Castensen. Ask him to talk you through them
next time you see him and you have a spare half hour. Come and cheer on
the lads next Wednesday evening at Homebush.” (Reporter Muz)
