The Eumundi Dragons Reserve Grade Rugby Union team took on the might of the top of the table Noosa Dolphins at the University fields in Chancellor Park last Saturday.
The game started well for the Eumundi team with Max Moise crossing the try line for a well-deserved try. This set the Dolphins team back on their heels and forced them to regroup before a good-sized crowd of supporters from the two clubs.
As the game unfolded the depth of experience in the Noosa outfit began to show.
By the end of the game, the Dolphins ran out winners 69-5 but had to work hard for all of these points. The players from Eumundi did not throw in the towel and remained full of spirit right to the full-time whistle.
In a show of good sportsmanship coaching staff and officials from the Noosa club congratulated the Eumundi team for putting up such a good performance after only coming together a couple of months ago.
U8 Match Report by Team Manager Jero Mansell
The Eumundi Dragons U8’s had a great game against a Swans team that was full of running. The team enjoyed themselves in the sun at Gympie with some impressive tackling from hard hitters, Finn and Quill, ably helped by Zach, Tristan and CJ. The whole team enjoyed some ball time on attack with Henry and Jack making some excellent breaks and some notable fends put on the Swans team. Congratulations to Zach for
earning player of the day on the back of a top effort throughout the game. Well done Dragons!!
U11 Match Report by Team Manager Pamela Campbell-Jones
The U11 Dragons took on Brothers at Gympie on the weekend, in a fast-paced match. It was a good clean game of running rugby, as both teams scored tries and made conversions. The Dragons scrum was as impressive as ever with strong drives, turning the ball over.
A few too many missed tackles saw Brothers take home the win, but the Dragons can certainly be proud of their efforts.
Jett Herbert was awarded Best Team Mate for an impressive display for the entire game, and some spectacular tackles to boot.
