The reunion saw members, players, family and friends gather at Lithgow Hockey Fields for a match between the Old Boys and the Young Boys at 1.45pm.
The Old Boys took the win over the post 2010 players with a 5-4 win.
Club secretary Michael Charlton said the Old Boys were pretty happy with the win.
“They showed they’ve still got it and it was an enjoyable game,” he said.
After the match everyone retreated to the Lithgow Workies for a short presentation and dinner.
“We held a bit of a reunion at the club in the showroom and we had over 90 attendees it was a great turnout,” Mr Charlton said.
Mr Charlton was the MC on the night and spoke about the club’s history and made a few announcements.
“I spoke briefly about the history of the club and also announced three life members for their service to the Panthers,” he said.
Alan Alderson, Jarrod Cameron and Nic Milne were all recognised as life members for their hard work.
“It was well deserved and the boys were happy to receive them,” Mr Charlton said.
Mr Charlton also said overall the night was great and enjoyed by everyone.
“Everyone had a good time and it was nice to celebrate in pre-season together,” he said.
