Congratulations to the Under 13A boys and the Under 15A girls who both won their divisions at the State Championships held at Perth Hockey Stadium during the school holidays. This makes three for the year with the Under 17A girls being successful earlier in the year. Our aim for all carnivals is always to have maximum participation and it's exciting to have lots of juniors involved and also some success!

More than 80 players represented the Panthers in both A and B divisions in the Under 13 and 15 age groups and did the club proud with their on and off the field behaviour.

Thank you to all of our coaches, many of whom were from our Under 17 sides and did a great job with the players. Michael Fernihough did another fantastic job with his team of junior umpires. Thank you also to all the parents who supported the coaches and acted as team managers during the carnivals.

Coaches:
Under 13A boys - Phil Graham
Under 13B boys - Bill Rochester
Under 13A girls - Tahlia Pritchard and Hope Berry
Under 13B girls - Luke Johnstone and Shane Benfell
