A mighty sight

By JARROD POTTER

UNITING to battle a common cause, the up-and-coming under-10 footballers of Greater Dandenong have embraced a combined North Dandenong/Parkmore football side.
The North Dandenong Sharks, based at Lois Twohig Reserve, North Dandenong, and the Parkmore Pirates, based at Wachter Reserve, Keysborough, brought together their under-10 sides to form a Dandy powerhouse.
The unified Sharks-Pirates’ alliance took to the field for the first time on Sunday at the South East Juniors Little Demons Day.
With coach David Garry calling the plays for the unity team, the junior rovers, rucks and high-marking forwards excelled against Timbarra and Cora Lynn respectively in their two matches.
Parkmore has sides in under-10, all the way up to under-17 Premier Division as well as a brand new Youth Girls’ side, while North Dandenong also has teams in under-11 and under-13 competitions.
For more information on North Dandenong contact the club at northdandy@gmail.com and Parkmore at michael@palmaandco.com.au
