U11 Match Report by Team Manger Pamela Campbell-Jones
The Dragons took on Uni this weekend at Noosa, with some help from some Maroochydore boys. The first half against Uni Gold was made up of strong running rugby from the Dragons with some impressive team tries. The boys took the win for this half
The second half the Dragons took on Uni Green. The Dragons showed grit and determination, holding up three try attempts, and took the win for this half too, with the whole team, including the Swans lifting again and again.
The Best Team Mate was Jett Herbert, with his usual try scoring talents, as well as strong defence and kicking game.
Well done Dragons, and thank you to Tom, Harvey, Chaise, Levi, Tai from the Swans.
U9s Round 9 V Caloundra by Team Manager Andrew Hillhouse
The Eumundi Dragons under 9 team had a tough hard game against a well drilled Caloundra. The boys refused to give up and eventually scored a number of tries. They won lots of ball and made numerous tackles. Lots of good rucking and mauling work from Jasper, Josh K and Josh V and Brooklyn.
All of the team made some good breaks with an almost run away try from Tristan. Brooklynn and Aiden both scored 2 tries and Josh V was unlucky to have disallowed 2 tries not referred to the TMO. Good to see Jasper come back after copping a very solid tackle. Our second half was again better than our first which shows some true determination.
Many thanks to our heroic U8s Jack, Tristan and Hunter who ran on and played their hearts out after their own game.
Player of the week this week goes to Aden for playing his heart out, making a huge number of tackles, often against the players twice his size, getting up and making the next tackle then getting up and scooping up the ball. Aden ran well, scored was always backing up and always ready for the next job.
U8 Team Manager Jero Mansell
The Eumundi Dragons U8s had an awesome game Against Caloundra at Saints in Peregian on Saturday. The track was hard and dry and both teams managed to run in a number of great try’s with the tackling,passing and fending being standouts. Jack lead the way with Great tackling and some incisive runs, Hunter brought his fend along in his last game of the season and had a dominant display. CJ, Zach, Spence, Finn and Quill all had strong contributions With Tristan and Henry also pulling off some quality tackles. Well done Dragons!!
