U14s Dolphins vs Grammar
The U14 Dolphins showcased strong technical skills and commitment in Saturday’s match against Grammar, demonstrating clear progress in both attack and defence. Their structured plays and training-ground tactics were evident throughout the game, although unforced errors disrupted execution at key moments.
Facing a well-drilled Grammar side, the Dolphins went down by a wider margin than in their previous clash. However, they weren’t left scoreless: Henry powered down the sideline for a standout try, a clear highlight of the team’s determination and spirit.
Grammar’s pace out wide proved to be the difference, with several breakaway tries sealing a confident win for the visitors.
The Dolphins will return to training on Tuesday, focused and ready to finish the season strong, with just two games remaining.
Domino’s Player of the Match was awarded to Henry, with special mentions to Cassius and Victor for their tireless work ethic.
U10s Dolphins vs Flinders
The Dolphins U10s had a home game against Flinders this weekend and kicked off with great energy.
Flinders pushed through the Dolphins’ defence early to score, but the boys responded fiercely. Strong defence, especially from Theo, caused a dropped ball, allowing James to score a try. Flinders hit back with more tries despite some solid defence from Noosa and great attacking runs from Arlo, Eddie and Saul.
At half-time, Coach Iain encouraged the boys to focus on building and holding their defensive wall.
The second half started with a bang: James sent the ball wide to Theo, who ran the length of the field to score, converted by Duke. Arlo and Toby made strong runs, and after winning the ball back, more impressive play from them helped Koa get over the line for another try, also converted by Duke.
Though the boys tired towards the end, allowing a few late Flinders tries, their teamwork and determination stood out.
Coach Iain praised the team’s progress and effort. Theo was named Hard Worker of the Week, with Arlo awarded the Domino’s Player of the Match.
U8s Dolphins vs Nambour
Last home game of the season saw the Dolphins take on a strong Nambour side in a try extravaganza from both teams! It was a great display of both attack and defence from the Dolphins, who truly showed they knew what they were doing.
Hemi was powerful in support and wide passing, running in a series of tries off the back of his weaving runs. Alfie was dominant up the middle and made a blistering run through the opposing team with strength and conviction to score.
Owen showed great commitment, both in running the ball and in tackling the Toads over the sidelines. Jaxon scored his first try with impressive running and excellent support play. Otis was generous in sharing the ball, sidestepping through the Toads to score on multiple occasions. His repeated commitment to tackling through several phases was fantastic.
Gus delivered the most outstanding solo try of the match; twisting and turning from right to left before straightening up to storm through the opposition and score his first try in the corner, met with huge cheers from his teammates.
Domino’s Players of the Match went to Otis, Gus and Jaxon: all worthy recipients after a standout team performance.
