Nelson Bay FC under-16s dedicate championship to late Andy McKenzie

Key points

• Nelson Bay Football Club's under-16 boys team has won the Newcastle inter-district grand final championship and the club's Most Distinguished Team Award. The season was marked by the sudden death of respected coach and parent Andy McKenzie, who had a 12-year connection with the club.
• The grand final against Cooks Hill finished 1-all after full time, before Nelson Bay scored in extra time. Goalkeeper Logan Parmigiani then made a late save to seal the win.
• Coach Chris Farrell said the team dedicated the victory to McKenzie.
