U/12s Tweed Tigers 12 – 6 – 78 d Byron Magpies 2 – 2 – 14
 
Right from the beginning Tweed got on top of Byron and went to the 1st quarter break 6 goals up.

The Byron players knew from the start this game was going to be tough going up against the minor premiers for this season but continued to play as a team, determined to make Tweed play hard for this win.

Tweed stayed in control and didn’t allow Byron to even make a score at all in the 1st or 3rd quarters.

Both teams showed some excellent ball skills but in the end Tweed were far too strong.
 
Best players for Tweed, Jacob Haines, who kicked 7 goals for Tweed, Riley Jones, Kurt Skuse, Billy Stevenson, Luke Chaffer and Michael Arnold.

Byron’s best players, Caleb Brumby, Jun Touzel, Ethan Thompson, John Pupangamirri, Chi Desmond-Weller and Patrick Scurrah,
 
U/14s Lismore Swans 4 – 7 – 31 d Byron Magpies 3 – 11 – 29

The teams were evenly matched and as one team scored it was quickly followed by the opposition matching the point.

This was a constant until half-time when the Swans were behind by 5. 

With the start of 3rd quarter the Swans made a few errors and it looked like the game was to be Byron’s victory but the Swans came back stronger in the 4th to win by 2 points.

This game was low in points but extremely high in action and great ball skills by both teams.

The defensive efforts of both teams has to be commended.

Best players for Lismore, Ashlin Coyne, Lochie Cheffins, Max Beresford.

Best for Byron, Davis Jenson, Will Harbison, Elliot Brain and Sequoya Rawson-Smith

The Under-12 grand final is to be contested by the undefeated minor premiers Tweed Coast Tigers, the newest club in the competition, and the home team Byron Bay Magpies.

The Tigers are coached by Chris Masters and have the upper hand with big Kurt Skuse in the ruck and prolific ball-winner Michael Arnold in the middle.

The Magpies are not going to let Tweed Coast have it all their way thoughf,with coach Jamie Touzel saying John Pupangamirri and Caleb Thompson will lead the way for the underdogs.

The Magpies have a bit of confidence after defeating third-placed Lismore Swans in last week’s preliminary final.

The game commences at 10am, with presentations following the Under-14 grand final.

The Under-14 grand final sees the Lismore Swans take on the Byron Bay Magpies.

Both sides are full of confidence after defeating the minor premiers, Ballina Bombers, in their respective lead-up finals.

The Swans have had a week’s rest and coach and local stalwart Ron Meldrum believes his side will be best served by Lochie Cheffins and Roly Meldrum.

Byron, on the other hand, will have other plans, with former Adelaide Crows premiership player Shaun Rehn sure to fire his troops up for the biggest game of the year.

Keep an eye out for Will Harbison and Elliott Brain in the Black and White as this game promises to be a cliff-hanger following a closely fought finals series. Game commences at 11.45am.

The presentations for both age groups will be conducted at the completion of the Under-14 grand final, along with the hugely anticipated announcement of the Best and Fairest Medal for each age group.
