Now we’re starting to get into the ‘rematch’ phase of the season, it’s time for a mid-season table update. 

The first half of the season has been solid for both Swifts and Lakers with plenty of notes to work on but also lots of greats on which we can build. At this (approximate) halfway point, Swifts are sitting in the top half of the table in 4th place, and Lakers follow them in 8th.

Penrith Swifts

The Swifts have enjoyed a strong first round of matches, putting lots of goals on the board in the process. Despite sitting in 4th, they have the second-highest number of goals scored across all teams. 

Their challenge for the second half of the season will be to remain cool and composed in the remaining matches against the top-rated teams of Westmorland Wanderers and Meerkats 1.

Their next game will be on 16 April 2024 vs. Stewartry NPT. 

Penrith Lakers

Compared to last season, Penrith Lakers are flying high this time around. This development side has not only shown that they can grow into matches but can also (importantly) win them! A recent highlight was their game against table-toppers, Harraby 1, where they finished only five goals down on the very well-drilled side. 

As we move into the second half, the Lakers will need to keep pushing on and mastering the basics in each match to ensure they make the most of every second in possession.

Finally, we’d like to thank all the league organisers and officials who have volunteered their time so far this season. Here’s to a great second half!
