Young Lions Soccer Club had a fantastic weekend, making the trip to Griffith where they faced off against City in the Pascoe Cup, Gardiner Shield and Youth U18.
In the men's first grade game Young defeated City 3-0 with goals being made by Captain Duncan Cameron in the 51st and 59th minute and Noah Ryan hitting the back of the net in the 78th minute.
Cameron was named the Player of the Match following his two goals and some great leadership on the field.
In the men's second grade game the score ended up tied at 2-2 with City the first to strike following a goal from Luke Keefe, the Lions were left to catch up heading into the second half after Griffith's Curtin Pendlebury put one in the net in the 22nd minute, however, a goal just before half time for the Lions by Ralph Masae meant the Lions only needed one more to equalise.
The Lions dug deep in the second half and scored the only point in the last 45 minutes thanks to Kyeran Steenbergen scoring in the 61st minute.
