U8s Round 5 vs Grammar

The U8 boys had a blinder in Round 5, playing Grammar at Grammar on a dreary Saturday morning.

This was a standout game and convincing win, with the boys demonstrating great passing, great communication and impressive defence.

Growing independence and confidence to work as a team were also on show.

Alfie was straight on and into the action, with two fast tries; one a pick and go straight across the line. Buster and Otis outpaced the competition with a couple of strong runs, and added to the tally.

The Dolphins showed their growing awareness of the game, taking every opportunity to tackle their opponents into touch.

With so many lineouts Owen continues to improve with his accuracy and communication. Archer shone at kick offs and is comfortable in the wet conditions. Hudson was ever present in support with impressive textbook tackling, taking on players three times as big.

Domino’s Player of the Match went to Hemi for his leadership skills and capturing the Dolphins spirit of ‘more’: always in the action, never giving up.
