Saturday was great to return home to perfect weather for Rugby, with many families taking the opportunity for some sunshine after a cold week.
We celebrated our clubs vibrant and varied cultural backgrounds with the A Grade team wearing commemorative jerseys, emblazoned by the flags of the many nations our players have connections with.
Having worked hard during the week on some key areas of improvement, the teams were looking forward to welcoming Caboolture and putting the hard work into action.
It was wins all round on the day with A grade getting home 84-17, Reserve grade 115-0 and the women’s team beating a strong Caboolture women’s team 43-15. Our Cricks cup team secured a 12-12 draw against last years Grand Finalists Nambour.
These results see both our Reserve Grade and Womens teams sit second on their respective ladders and A Grade in the finals positions.
With such high scoring games it is no surprise that our players of the matches featured highly amongst the try scorers. A Grades Matthew Schoutrop finished the game with 4 tries, while Reserve Grades Hernnan Gispert scored 5 tries and the Women’s Meg Fortune picked up a hatrick.
Hatricks were also scored by big running prop Julian Scott-Davies in A Grade and damaging ball carrier in Reserve Grade Albert Polu.
We would like to take this opportunity as a club to thank Caboolture, in what is a tough season so far. You exhibit the grit and determination our great game cherishes, and we look forward to visiting you later in the year.
The following week’s games will be away at Brothers, although Cricks Cup will be at home on Friday night with a 7pm kick off against last year’s winners Maroochydore.
Noosa is also thrilled to be hosting this year’s Schools rugby Grand Finals on Wednesday, bring the family down and watch the future stars of our game battle it out.
