HAVING reached the halfway point of their season, AFL North Coast’s top junior teams are preparing for the run home towards finals.
A few teams have yet to taste defeat this season.
The Bellingen Bulldogs lead the way in the Youth Girls 17s competition, remaining undefeated as they look to defend their premiership.
Port Macquarie Magpies Under 16s Boys also remain undefeated as they look to defend their premiership.
Sawtell/Toormina Saints are the ladder leaders of the Youth Girls 15s competition, having remained unbeaten so far.
Port Macquarie Swoopers remain undefeated to lead the way in the Under 14s Mixed competition.
Northern Beaches Blues sit undefeated at the top of the Youth Girls 13s ladder.
Port Macquarie Magpies remain undefeated to lead the Under 12s Mixed competition.
The Nambucca Valley Lions Youth Girls 15s and Port Macquarie Flyers also remain undefeated.
Northern Beaches Blues (Youth Girls 17s), Sawtell/Toormina Saints (Under 16s Boys), Nambucca Valley Lions (Youth Girls 15s), Port Macquarie Flyers (Under 14s Mixed), Port Macquarie Magpies (Youth Girls 13s), and the Northern Beaches Blues White (Under 12s Mixed) sit in second spot in their respective competitions.
The junior grand finals which were originally set to be played on Sunday, 24 August will now be played a week later on Sunday 31 August, due to allowing for a round of catch-up games.
After a week off due to the long weekend, the AFL North Coast junior season resumes this weekend with Round 9 matches.
