Hosted by the Carisbrook FNC, the 2012 Junior Lightning Premiership Carnival brought together under 12 footballers and 13 & Under netballers. The football competition was represented by the Avoca FNC, Lexton FNC and the Maldon FNC. In the netball Avoca, Carisbrook, Lexton and Natte Bealiba battled it out over the day in perfect weather. Plenty of parents and supporters turned out for some entertaining football and netball from future stars of the MCDFNL.
Played on a modified ground, there was plenty of contested footy as positions went out the window. Although the scoreboard showed some one sided football, it was clear that all kids were enjoying the day whether kicking a goal, taking a mark or somersaults across the half forward flank.
The netball was a little closer with some exciting games towards the end of the day and the decider going Natte Bealiba's way by just the 4 goals. Avoca were convincing winners in the football with their more experienced kids standing out across the day.
