IN A repeat of last year’s Under 15s grand finals, the Boambee Bombers turned the tables on the Coffs United Lions romping to a 4-0 victory last weekend at the Coffs Coast Synthetics.
Bailey Barden opened the scoring after just four minutes with a thunderous free kick into the top corner.
Koby Banks, Luis Osterloh and Sam Grobovsky added to the scoreline as the Bombers marched to their third straight victory this season.
With persistent rain wreaking havoc on earlier rounds, both teams were simply relieved to be back on the pitch.
“It was fantastic to see the kids out playing again, especially after all the wet weather we’ve had,” said Boambee coach Aaron Banks.
“As a coach, club president, and father, it was incredibly rewarding to watch Boambee’s strong start to the season continue. “Facing last year’s benchmark team provided extra motivation, and the players rose to the challenge with some outstanding passing combinations and smooth transitions from defense to attack.
“With the return of several players from the PYL system, we’re focused on building consistency and supporting these young athletes as they make the transition into senior football.
“It’s an exciting time for the club, and we’re proud of the direction we’re heading.”
