U13 Match Report
Noosa Dolphins U13’s faced reigning premiers Brothers, who showed up red hot as the home team suited up for the challenge. Led by captain Jack and joint vice captain’s Zac and Marcus, the Anzac Day clash started the season in good spirits. There were plenty of penalties and turnovers as the young hopefuls shook out the sillies for the first game of the season. An early try from Brothers was responded by the Dolphin’s five-eighth stealing the ball and taking an explosive break down the sideline to be clipped just short of the line: the crowd were on their feet. The Dolphins lifted to score in the corner seeing Brothers respond with a few quick run-away tries towards the end of the match, despite Noosa’s sliding defense. An inspiring game from the Dolphin’s captain who led from the front to clinch Dominoes Player of the Match. This freshly appointed team knows there is work to be done heading into the SC University game this week. Good luck to all the U13 Dolphins who have been training under newly appointed coach Jason Larsen. Noosa 10 Brothers 34.
U8s Anzac Day Clash
First season of tackle, first game of the season and first time with a referee. What a way to start for the Dolphins U8s with a convincing win over Brothers Blue at home. It was a full team effort with amazing passing, securing the ball at the breakdown and strong running. Alfie dotting down for the first try was awarded Dominoes Player of the Match for his powerful leg drives all game. Notable mentions to Hudson for great tackles and pulling opponents into touch. Owen, Gus and Jackson filled the front row duties with good communication in the lineout. Archer showed off his impressive kicking skills and Buster with his usual breakneck speed hung on the wing. Good job to Otis who wove his way through the defence with his running rugby. Hemi took the five eighth position in his stride, mobilising the team to ensure the ball was distributed. Most improved to Gus for textbook tackling. Whilst most of the team have played together for a few years, newcomers Hudson and Jackson are making their mark early, slotting in seamlessly: the team are stoked to have you.
