Final Score 20.21 141 to 2.1 13. Best players included T. Ferris, T. Almond, T. Camilleri, B. Johnson, B. Kroepsch. Following the Reserves game, the HDFC Junior Exhibition game got underway, with a huge crowd looking on. The HDFC and Modbury Under 8s put on a great show, making the most of the relaxed format and a bigger playing field. The kids lined up in a Guard of Honour to cheer on the HDFC A Grade as they entered the field, with HDFC Captain (and Modbury U8s Coach), Nathan Hall, at the fore. The A Grade demolished Golden Grove, with Loky Anderson booting 10 goals, 9 of which came in the second half. Final Score 25.13 163 to 5.3 33. Best players included L. Anderson, J. Davis, M. Sharpe, J. Mcmurtrie, J. Schulz. The weekend was topped off with the HDFC U8s having a great game on Sunday morning against Golden Grove. Well done, kids! HDFC would like to thank the Modbury Hawks for joining us on our Family Day. We hope to continue the tradition in the future. After a successful HDFC Junior launch this weekend, the Houghton Raider family invite you and your family to spend a Saturday afternoon with us! We're making the most of the unseasonably warm weather and putting on a Raiders Family Picnic this weekend, Saturday 5th May! Amongst all the fun will be a Junior Exhibition Match in between the Reserves and A Grade games. To accommodate this, the Reserves will be starting at 11:45am. We'd love to see you there!  What a history-making weekend for the Raiders!
