Redbacks finalise coaching appointments


Published on Thursday, October 3, 2013

Panton Hill Football Club has finalised its coaching appointments for the 2014 season, including its new under-19s team.

Senior premiership coach Dean Haydock has been reappointed and will coach the club for a third successive season. Shane Lyons will continue as his assistant.

After guiding the reserves to this year’s Grand Final, Lucas Brass will return as reserves coach.

Panton Hill is also pleased to announce the appointment of Jayson Burleigh as coach of the club’s under-19s team in 2014, with Matt Duffy to serve as assistant coach.

Burleigh brings great football knowledge and experience both as a Panton Hill player and coach.

In 2011 he was playing coach of Panton Hill’s reserves premiership win – the club’s first flag in the Northern Football League.

Duffy is also a past Panton Hill player, but is more recently renowned for his coaching prowess with various age groups within the Panton Hill juniors over the past six years.

Panton Hill has plenty to look forward to in 2014 as it moves back into Division 2.

The Redbacks will return to their home ground at Cracknell Reserve next year, where a brand new playing surface awaits them following the reconstruction of the ground this season.

With state of the art ground lighting installed, the club plans to host a number of Friday night under-19 games and Saturday twilight senior games next season.
