NOOSA Junior Pirates have kicked off round four of the season with a display of great skills and big wins.
It was wet and muddy in Crusher territory as the junior Pirates sloshed it out against Nambour on Saturday 30 April.
Under 8 Blue went toe-to-toe with Nambour Under 8 Green in the wet weather, with Cooper and Super Sam breaking through the tough Nambour line to score a try.
Taj shone in the Under 9 Yellow team, thanks to his low-running style seeing him break the line and prove difficult to tackle on every run. There was also a special mention to Lincoln Knight who was awarded man of the match for his ‘never say die’ desperation in defence, saving tries running down players from behind.
Under 11 Blue played the best first half of their season with hard running from forwards Jake, Kaleb, Liam, Arlo, Riley, Kai and Levi.
The Under 11 Yellow boys showed a gutsy win over a very hard running and hitting Nambour. In wet conditions, the lads rucked it up hard with a few nice plays which was orchestrated by fill in half Jackson Smith.
The Under 12 Girls played hard at a gala day in Caloundra on the same day, starting their season off on the right foot while the Under 14 Girls toughed it out in the wet and slippery conditions over the weekend.
After a bumpy start, the Under 16 Girls worked as a team and made rivals Beachmere earn their points. The Girls scored each half and showed great sportsmanship.
It would appear the Under 18 Girls decided to give the Beachmere team a head start, but played hard in the second half gaining 22 points to Beachmere’s 18. However, the overall points were in Beachmere’s favour with the rival team coming out on top, 60 to 22.
