Post Heidelberg West Round 4 match interview on YouTube with Coach Dean Haydock and Seniors Team Manager Rick LeGassick

Panton Hill took the lead right from the first quarter and never looked headed on its way to a big win against Heidelberg West today. The Hills really enjoyed the spaces on the big ground and hopefully felt right at home as the return home match will also be played at Heidelberg. The Reserves also had a decisive 8 goal win. Full match reports now available by clicking on "more".

The redevelopment of Panton Hills home ground at Cracknell Reserve is progressing well with a good cover of grass. The warm season grass will basically lay dormant over winter and will be waiting for the warmer weather and a bit of rain later in the year to continue to grow. There will be no footy on the ground over winter and minimal impact with cricket back in summer.

The life members and past players day planned for Saturday 11 May @ Yarrambat (Reservoir game) has been rescheduled for the big clash against Thomastown on 13 July at Hurstbridge. This will provide better facilities and enable more people to attend. Get the message out to past players.

With the cancellation of the Kinglake game yesterday was the first practice game for the Hills.
