NOOSA TOUCH FOOTBALL
ANOTHER perfect afternoon of autumn weather produced some mighty fine games of touch football last week.
In the under-10s, Tewantin – although improving with each and every game – went down to GSLC. Sam, Ashton and Ty had great games. Amigos came away with the points against Sunshine, with Ben, Marcellus, Hayden and Nico playing well. Pink Thunder and GSLC played entertaining touch with Pink Thunder up by a couple of touchdowns at the siren. Bronte, Anna and Ella all played strongly. In another match that went down to the wire, Purple Strikers finished in front of Pinklets with Lilliana, Breanna, Alla and Angela all showing great teamwork.
The under-12s afternoon got underway with the game between Sunshine Rippers and Glen’s Guns. The Sunshine Rippers girls dug deep for the entire game but the guns were firing this week. Seisa, Francesca and Harper all put in mighty efforts. STM earned their win over Warriors with Jesi, Cooper and Curtis leading the way for their teams. A gutsy performance by the Tewantin team was evident against formidable opponents in the Panthers. Parker, Jessica, Ruby and Lola all played well.
GSLC (Gold) and SBST was the first match-up in the under-14/16 girls division and although GSLC gave their best SBST proved too strong. Abbey C., Jaidyn, Paris and Emily gave outstanding individual performances.
In a nail-biting finish NDSHS 9s (green) scored the winning touchdown just before the full-time whistle with Chelsea, Tayla and Bella producing great games.
NDSHS 10s were too strong for NDSHS 9s (blue) with Jerry-Lee, Ally and Maya all playing well for their teams.
Sunshine Rebels were too strong in attack for NDSHS 8s (green) this week. Showing great skill during this game were Isabella, Lea and Charlie.
In the last match of the round in this division NDSHS 8s (blue) tried hard but were no match for St Andrew’s this time around with Rana, Zoe and Emma all producing first-rate games.
Rounding out the afternoon we had the under-14/16 boys division with Dodgers giving their all against an impressive GSLC team this week. Reuben, Hayden, James S. and Jadyn were outstanding.
The Illuminatis took the win over NDSHS 7 and 8s (blue). The Magic Touch put in a superb defensive effort against NDSHS 7 and 8s (green) with Jack, Liam and Tamatoa having stellar games. With the score locked at one touchdown apiece at half time, NDSHS 9s (blue) went on to take the game against NDSHS 9s (green). Steen, Jac and Chaance all played well.
