PORT Stephens Power Junior Australian Football Club have kicked off their 2017 season, with their first two rounds for the season at their home ground on Ferodale Oval.

Their first round on April 2 saw the weather turn on the goods, providing wet weather prior to the weekend to create the perfect muddy conditions for some football.

The games on the day saw two U/9’s, two U/11’s and the joint venture team with Maitland U/13’s team take to the field at Ferodale Oval.

Port Stephens pulled off a win against Newcastle City in the Div 1 U/11’s game and their U/13’s won against Lake Macquarie.

Mel Nelson from Port Stephens Power JAFC told News Of The Area “I personally would like to put a thank you out to all the parents and children helpers who helped out throughout the day, some being there all day.”

Round two took place last weekend on the 9 April,

The games played saw some hard fought games, during which the fast growing comradeship of the Port Power club was displayed at a high standard.

The U/13’s also took away a win against Wallsend.

Ms Nelson told News Of The Area “We’ve had a great start to the 2017 season, we couldn’t be happier.”

“Training is on Tuesday nights through the holidays, and the committee would like to wish all players, their families and the community a safe and happy Easter.”

The fixtures for the remainder of the season will be set after the Easter long weekend, and the club encourage anyone to come along and join them at their games to cheer the juniors along.
