Glenorchy Knights stalwart Michael Furjanic was on hand at Prince of Wales Bay on Sunday to watch his grandson play in the Skills Acquisition Programme festival.

His daughter, Anita Furjanic, is currently on the Knights committee and was happy to see her father watch her son, Nicholas Bonnitcha, play.

Joe Brkic, a Croatia Glenorchy player in the 1960s was there with his son, Robin, and daughter-in-law Marina to see his grandsons, Thomas and Mathew, in action.

Tom Huigsloot’s son, Harrison, was also in the thick of the action, so it seems as if a new generation of Knights players is on the rise.
