A tough weekend for the Lions, with three teams in finals action. Here's how it went, youngest to oldest.

U14 Boys, Preliminary Final
North Hobart 75 def Sandy Bay Lions 9
Season ends here for the boys after a great run. From their first finals win the week before to a Preliminary Final appearance, this has been a season to be proud of.

U15 Boys, Preliminary Final
Sandy Bay Lions 21 lost to Lauderdale 71
A tough result to end the season on, but making a Preliminary Final is a strong achievement. Well done to the boys on their finals campaign.

U16 Girls, Grand Final
Sandy Bay Lions 23 lost to Lauderdale 29
Runners up after a hard-fought Grand Final. So close to the flag, and a season the girls should be very proud of.

All three teams played with determination and grit. Huge effort to get this far, and every one of you has made the club proud.

But it's not over yet....

Next Sunday, 3:15pm at KGV, the U16 Boys take on Clarence in the Grand Final.
