THE Noosa Dolphins dived into a wet game this weekend, proving they can swim in even the most shallow of waters.
The training paid off for the U7 Noosa Fins who came out on top this weekend, defeating Caloundra 35 to15.
The boys took note and were rewarded for their efforts with a convincing win.
It was Noosa versus Noosa for the U8s with The Reds coming out on top of the Fins by five points with an end score of 50 to 45. Both teams fought gallantly to gain ascendancy in a ding-dong battle of big hits and barnstorming bursts of speed as the local derby had the generous crowd holding their breath with nervous excitement. In the end, a brilliant offload that setup a crucial try was all that separated the two teams.
The tensions were high in the U9 Noosa versus Grammar game, with the teams drawing an even four. The last few minutes proving to be the most intense as Eden, Mackie and Max sent Kane over for a screamer right on the whistle.
U10 Fins came out on top against fellow Noosa Blacks with a win of 38 to 15. A fantastic win to the Fins against the equally determined Noosa Black under lights at home in front of an allied crowd.
It’s always a tough battle when two Noosa teams play each other – mate against mate – the close game between U11 Noosa Fins and Noosa Reds saw the Fins come out on top by one point, winning 25 to 24.
The Noosa U12 Fins returned after a week off, looking fresh and ready for action. Rivals brothers put up a good fight throughout the match, but the Fins had too much for them and notched up eight tries to take maximum points and put their season back on track.
And the U13 Noosa Dolphins finished off the winning streak taking out top spot against Maroochydore 39 points to twelve.
