The Panthers best performing team was their League Tag side who finished the regular season in second position in a tightly contested race before they were knocked out in the preliminary final by Leeton who went on to finish as runners-up.
The first grade side finished in seventh eight points outside the top five.
The reserve grade side were right in the fight for a spot in the top five heading into the final rounds of the season only to fall just two points short of the fifth spot taken by West Wyalong.
The Panthers are already thinking ahead to 2020 as they are seeking expressions of interest for the coaching positions for all five grades as the club looks to get back into the under 16s and 18s competition.
Anyone interested in urged to get in contact with president Craig O'Keefe on 0499 641 113 or email cmokeeffe@bigpond.com
