Pennants :- The highlight of the week had to be Grade 1 winning the zone 14 flag at Urunga over a talented Park Beach team. Congratulations to all players. Port City were behind for most of the game, but came home with a wet sail to win 56-55. They now go to Dapto in early August in an effort to win the state flag.
