Young Pirates on the ball

By TRACI HOZIER

U7 Blue: Charlie and Jett played their usually quality game, Kye provided some quality runs, Jack Cullen and Lachy Davis punched it up the middle with some hard running but it was Abbey who walked away with the player of the match award.
U8 Blue: The boys took on the mighty Palmwoods Devils in what was a tough match but we cannot go without mentioning Jak – WOW is all I can say! He was all over the field with nearly a full-length field run to the try line, many more powering runs throughout the match and he crossed the line more than once!
U8 Yellow: The Pirates under-8 Yellow seized the opportunity to show who was in charge of the waters as they tangled with the Colts at Coolum. Our ‘Machine’ Jaxon Smith received player of the match for his unstoppable determination in both attack and defence.
U9 Blue: The Noosa boys continued to back each other up which led to lots of offloads and exciting runs. Our defence was also great, holding out full sets on our try line.
U9 Yellow: Under-9 Yellow blazed through the heat of Saturday and took on the might of the Coolum Colts, twice. Both games were enjoyable to watch defensively, especially in the middle.
U10: Our Blue team played at Palmwoods on Friday night with some of our Yellow boys coming to help out with numbers. The team played probably one of their best games all year keeping Palmwoods scoreless. Saturday’s game saw the Yellow team take on Coolum. Excellent effort from all the boys with some standout performances from Ziah, Lochlan Johnson, Lachlan Neville, Jed Danton and Jhemi. Our man of the match and birthday boy was Cohyn North.
U12: The under-12 Gold boys played a fantastic game, defeating Maroochydore 44-0. The Noosa boys were strong in their defence with the Maroochydore boys finding it hard to break through Noosa’s strong defence line.
U13 Blue: Noosa Blue met Beerwah at Beerwah. A surge late in the second half gave Noosa Blue some momentum but it was too late to get back in the game. Player of the match was Jacob.
U13 Gold: The boys decided during the week they are going to win the last four games of the year and today they started in the right direction by beating Beerwah 28-12 in a very entertaining game of footy.
U15 Gold: Noosa defeated Nambour 26-6 after their long break from footy.
U14 Girls: Well that wraps up the season for the under-14s. It was a physically tough match against a bigger well-drilled Caboolture team. While the 54-12 scoreline doesn’t show it, the girls had some pretty good defensive sets to keep the Caboolture girls from scoring on several occasions.
