A big thank you to the young referees Blake Wilson and Lachie Proctor.
Without our refs there is no game, so thanks.
Under 7 Yellow
It was a perfect day for a home game as our boys met with the BeerwahBulldogs.
Jacko was a little ‘ninja’ on the paddock as he led with Hayden and Cooperto to score multiple tries.
Beau and Riley were also very strong in attack as they kept on running hard to rattle the defence.
Jaxon Smith, the Player of the Match, could do no wrong as this well oiled machine was unstoppable in both attack and defence.
Brandon had a target on every opposition player that came his way toensure they didn’t get past him.
Along with Lachlan and the boys, the defence just kept on improving as the game went on. The boys showed true Pirate spirit and played with passion.
Tim’s encouragement proves to be a winning ingredient in the boys’ continued playing success.
Under 8 Yellow
Bribie Island proved to be an even match-up for the boys.
The improvement in all the boys has been outstanding in the first part of the season, the textbook tackling technique is hard for the attack to break, and the hard straight running along with quick play with the ball has them travelling the length of the field on most plays.
The depleted team was a man down from the get go.
Cooper Ward stepped up from under 7s to fill the gap and played well against the bigger boys.
All the boys workedhard across the park.
Both Lincoln and Joe crossed for doubles along with Lachlanand Zahn getting tries.
Zeke was unlucky close to the line but tried all game, his evasive running and long legs makes him a difficult target to bring down.
Pierce continues to throw himself into every tackle and had the defence trying to avoid him. Thanks to the Drinnan boys for running on at the back end of the game, the injection of fresh legs lifted the boys.
Player of the Match was Zahn.
Under 9 Blue
The under 9 Blue boys played a great game today!
They were coached by Wayden because coach Barry was away.
It was a very defensive match with lots of feeling on both sides.
The boys were getting their mad on and really ripping into each other!
Tries went to Roy, Dylan and Jhemi.
Cohyn was Man of the Match for his big one-on-one hits in defence!
