Your Mate ... (11/04)

The Rockhampton Panthers

The Rockhampton Panthers have recorded one of the biggest losses on record in central Queensland's AFL Capricornia competition, with Panthers assistant coach Rob Taylor saying that seven of their best players missed the game to attend a wedding.

The Boyne Island Saints obviously took advantage of the situation kicking 43-14-272 to the Panthers 3-1-19.

"A lot of the guys that have played football together for the Panthers football club for a lot of years and they're the mainstay of our football club", he said.

"But we're not offering an excuse, We brought a lot of under 17 players up and gave them a run",

"They got knocked off the ball fairly easy because their bodies weren't - they're not fully grown men yet and obviously they were playing experienced and talented footballers from Boyne Island".

Joonas Jokinen

Normal penalty kicks are apparently too boring for Finland U-16 player Joonas Jokinen, so in a match for Swiss club FC Baar, he decided to cap his off with a back flip.

Lucky for him, he made the penalty so he was saved the embarrassment of celebrating a miss with his preemptive gymnastics.
