Under 7s
Fun had by all on Saturdays match,the boys played well.Riley Atkin was man of the match.

Under 9s
Another great game played against Rockingham Gold this round. The boys are really starting to play as a cohesive unit and are showing more independence in their gameplay which they demonstrated by playing their first full game without a coach on field. There were some great tackles made which halted the opposition's momentum and when the ball was turned over there were some moments of individual brilliance, especially from our Man of the Match, Montell Brack. This week's encouragement award went to Darius Bothma for his consistent great tackling.

Under 8s
Today's game was played in excellent spirit against Mandurah pirates blue, with the Lions out scoring their opponents 8 tries to 4. Lessons from the tackle clinic on Thursday were put into practice during the game to great effect, with recycling of the ball and passing wide from the ruck a massive improvement. Man of the match performance from Callum Jessop, closely followed by Athan Cable. Keep up the good works boys!

Under 10s
The boys were back down in Lark Hill for the final time today.
The game started one-sided with Mandurah white scoring 3 tries to 1 in the first half.
Then a come-from-behind victory to Southern Lions four tries each then win by two points.
Great goal kicking Thomas Stephenson.
Man of the match went to Tiarnan Mooney great confidence and determination display by our youngest player, well done!

Under 14s
This week saw the Under 14s bounce back against West Scarborough. For the first time this season they led at half-time, with two tries by Claudio Gouveia. In the second half three tries were scored. The first was a good breakaway by Adam White down the left side. He went through untouched to score and Liam McKinnon converted. The second came from a scrum mid-field. The ball went to the left side again and Jack Holt drew his player and passed to Daniel ‘Ricky’ Tuimoala who ran down the left to score in the corner. The final try for the game was scored by Marcus Arrindell, who picked up the ball from about their 22, then cut back inside to score under the posts. The tackling was much better this week and as a result they held West Scarborough to only one try. Final score: 27-5. Men of the match were: Tate Szydlowski and Samuel Giles, the flankers, for their excellent tackling and work at the breakdown and for the backs, Marcus Arrindell.
