Dolphins do us proud

THE Noosa Dolphins 7s team returned victorious from Darwin having taken out the Barra Cup over the Australia Day long weekend.
The team travelled to Cairns with their professional counterparts, The Matai Nu Star Sports 7s team, to play in the World’s Hottest 7s competition in Darwin.
By all accounts, the local team’s performance was exceptional, landing them in the grand final against East Arnhem where the Dolphins won 22 to 6.
The Dolphins played against 16 other teams through the competition and the results are expected to land them in the top-tier competing against professional teams next year.
As a result of their efforts throughout the competition, Jarod Postle, Justin Batch and Nick Chapman were all named in the Queensland 7s squad.
The Matai Nu Star Sports team lost their quarter final game in a close 12 to 10 score, with Davita Rugby Union from Fiji just snatching the win.
From the team, Reece Hewitt and Stefan Vanderwalt, have been marked as the “ones to watch”, with both showing promising skill and talent on the field.
