Lion kings of the comp

HALFWAY through the season and the Glasshouse Hinterland Lions Senior Men Division 4 team is sitting third – the highest they have been since re-entering a senior team three years ago. The team has won six games, lost one, and had three byes.
Club president and team coach, Dean Crooks, said he was proud of the squad’s improvement this season.
“We’ve always had a good off field, the boys have always got together and had a few beers but its nice to get the results on field now to match that,” he said.
“The guys have worked really hard this year and in the off season, so they’ve all improved we’ve got some good juniors coming through so it’s going all good.”
Dean said the teams the Lions are most concerned about playing would be Sandgate and UQ, especially after being the only team who has defeated Glasshouse this year.
He added he thinks if the team keeps going the way they are, they have a good chance in winning a premiership. “It beats gets beaten by 100 points like we did the first two years, it’s nice for us to string some wins together so we are in a nice position,” Dean said.
