U9 Noosa Fins 30 v Brothers 50
Missing a star forward with Serena away walking on the moon CJ got things rolling with a typical darting run finding his mate Harry with a lovely offload. As usual Ethan, James and Wilkie were tireless at the ruck winning valuable ball where speedy half Charlie gave the opposition a sniff of dust sprinting up the side line to score. Both Richie and Charlie let Brothers know what it’s like to run without legs and tight forward Phoenix made his presence felt with a magic crash ball to level the score early. Rory and Jaxon again chewed up yards as they combined with some nice back line running and passing. Dominoes player of the week was Charlie McKerrow.
U11 Noosa Reds 21 d Saints 12
With great commitment to training and Saturday games throughout the year, under-11 Reds brought their ‘A’ game to beat The Saints 21-12, with the mighty Reds forwards working hard across the whole pitch to gain metres in possession and great pressure in defence, they provided clean, fast ball to the backs.
Straight confident running and rewarding support play gained metres up the middle, leading to our captain of the day, Pearl, scoring three excellent tries, with Fynn and Nick completing the Dolphins scorecard. It was our whole team with cameo run-ons by four mighty Fins subs, all players grafting together as mates to have great fun and play entertaining rugby.
Played in great spirit, both teams tackled hard, rucked well and provided a great game to watch for proud parents and families.
U13 Noosa 59 d Flinders 26
Noosa’s unbeaten run continues, with one round to go until the semi-finals, the boys have guaranteed top spot on the ladder and are 16 points clear of their nearest rivals. Hard work and dedication to the team does pay off especially when combined with the talent on display in this match, where the Dolphins had too much for a spirited Flinders side to handle. Great work and pressure in the forwards helped open the opposition line, exploited by speed and power from the backs with hat-tricks for Josh Whitehill and Max Ruster.
Tries: Josh Whitehill (3), Max Ruster (3), Lachie Dudgeon, Jarrah Charlesworth, Jason Burns.
Cons: Jarrah Charlesworth (6), Josh Whitehill.
