Playing away at Ellem Oval in Grafton, the ‘Blue Lions’ as they are known due to their joint venture with the Northern Beaches Blues, were able to notch wins in the Senior Women and Reserve Men’s competitions.

Meanwhile, the Senior Men fell just short, going down by 23 points to a talented Grafton Tigers side in what was a significant improvement from their last game against Sawtell-Toormina. “

Best on ground for Nambucca Valley were Alec Baldwin and Wilson Baade, who kicked five goals on debut, after spending the previous weeks playing for the Sydney Swans Academy team.

The Senior Women’s second big win of the year was made all the more encouraging by the young Lions who had an impact on much of the play, while the Ressies fielded several new players.

Meanwhile, on Sunday the junior teams kicked off their season against Port Macquarie at E.J. Biffin Playing Fields, Nambucca Heads.

The Lions will be submitting teams in all grades this year, with new players still able to join and be part of the season.

Additionally, Auskick has started again for another year, with training on Wednesdays at 4:30pm and matches on Sunday mornings for all kids aged 4-12.
