NPFL 2024 Country Football Championships division two team brings home wins

The North Pilbara Football League sent a division two team to compete in the 2024 NAS Country Football Championships at the weekend with the team achieving third place. The competition was held from Friday, July 12 to Saturday, July 13 at Revo Fitness Stadium with 24 teams from across regional WA going head to head for football glory. The Pilbara team had their first match on Friday July 12, where they defeated the Central Midlands Coastal team by 15 points, 5.2 (32) to 2.5 (17). The NPFL team’s next clash was against the Great Northern side where they lost by 17 points, 5.6 (36) to 2.7 (19). In round seven it was time for the NPFL side to take on the Eastern Districts which resulted in another win for the Pilbara side as the competition entered its second half, 4.5 (29) to 3.1 (19). Round nine proved to be yet another win for the Pilbara team with the side clinching the win from the Mortlock team by just two points, 6.4 (40) to 6.2 (38). But unfortunately that was all the play time the NPFL team would have with the team dropping out of the competition before the final rounds. Ultimately the NPFL team finished in third place just behind Great Northern in second and the Central Midlands Coastal team in first place.
