Under-7 White- The boys had a late game today against a well-drilled Bribie Island team.
The Noosa boys will be having plenty of tackling drills and running forwards this week at training. Too many missed tackles and side ways running today from the little champions.
Lincoln Knight worked hard once his boots turned up and Lachlan Ward stepped beautifully through his own creative gap to score right under the posts. Super Sam Proctor managed to cover much of the field turning up as much as he could to tackle well above his size and Rhy North has risen to another level in his attack.
Under 8- The boys had a really tough game against Beerwah Bulldogs this weekend, with some standout performances by big Jo Dwyer having some awesome runs and making some great tackles. Benny Graf had his usual great game with his leadership from dummy half and his magic tackling. Joshy Palmer also had an awesome game with his crushing tackling display also scoring two tries, one of which saw him launch himself like Superman through the Bulldogs defence line to score one of the tries of the season.
Great team effort this week by the boys.
Go the Pirates!
Under-9 Blue-The Under-9 blue team were back to their best on Saturday against the Beerwah Bulldogs. The Noosa team started the game well with some hard forward running which resulted in some great tries being scored. The highlight of the game was how much the tackling has improved (from all that practice at training), and coach Darren, was very impressed with how much effort all the players put into defence this week.
Jack Cross was Player of the Match, tackling everything that moved and for organising the team.
Under-10 White- The White Pirates played Caloundra Black on Caloundra’s home soil last weekend. Caloundra jumped out to a solid start, making the boys have to work hard in defence with Zane, Corben, Digger and Kynan tackling well. Once the Pirates had some possession, confidence rose and the attack of Antonio, Ashtyn and Cooper spread through the remainder of the team making the Whites become a point scoring machine team. Skills and confidence is growing every week, but please remember boys that Tuesday skills training with coach Jez is really important. Cooper was awarded Player of the Match.
Coach Jez was as happy as a Queenslander will be after 18 June with the massive effort the boys put in their game today at home against Beerwah. Again this week it cannot be mentioned that the majority of boys in this team are newbies to footy this year and again today they showed that listening and practising at training during the week brings everything together in a game on the weekend. Ty, Jarred, Jackson, Kallen and Ashtyn were awesome in defence, with Ashtyn being named Player of the Match. Thanks for coming to watch, Larz and get better soon, Jesi.
Under 10 Blue-Last week saw the u10 Blue team travel to Caloundra to play Caloundra Black. Quinnie and Luke got the ball out to allow Zak to pull off quite a few elusive runs. The ball distribution from the ruck by Ollie and Ben W was quick ensuring every attack raid gained Pirate ground. Ben U put his heart into some brilliant tackles and some side line runs. Quinlan was named Player of the Match.
Coach Jez was as happy as a New South Welshman today with how the boys implemented structure into their game at home against Beerwah. Harry working with Ethan, Curtis, Jax and Dan saw the Blue Pirates score many times. Ben U was awarded Player of the Match today for his hard tackling and multiple runs.
Under 11 Blue-U11 Blue stayed in the winning circle with a close victory over Palmwoods due to a gutsy defensive effort.
There were some great efforts by Heath Robinson, Jack Dewhurst, Ryan Mcleary and Jack Ricthie. Our attack is getting better every week with all of our backs improving, which is coming from their great efforts at training over the past few weeks.
Best on Ground this week goes to our great improver Liam Fox who has been putting his hand up in the forwards and doing the hard yards running straight into our opposition which paid off this week with a great try.
Great effort from all the boys keep up the good training and you can only get better good work.
Under 13C- Even with a long list of injuries the boys dug in deep with a convincing win against Maroochydore White, with special mentions to Toby Burton and Corey Mackenzie. Congratulations to Owain Ritson who got Man of the Match but bad luck with your injury.
Congratulations to the boys last week at Bribie Island on a mercy win against Bribie White with 15 minutes left on the clock and the final score of 56-4. Man of the Match went to Corey Mackenzie.
Brett is so proud of you all! See you at training on Tuesday.
Under 14A- Under 14 Gold travelled to Caboolture this week. Unfortunately we came up against a very physical team who had the desire to win.
Our Man of the Match went to Wavell Clements for his first game back with some solid runs.
Last week the boys posted a win against Nambour of 36-16.
Under 14B- The boys were under strength today due to illness and injuries leaving us with ten players before kick off. Thanks to Austin, Gian, Ryan, Nathan, Benny and Jack G for backing up from their game to get us a team on the field.
Our boys had a tough day with Caboolture dominating in both attack and defence. Best for Noosa was Kyle Jarvis with Jack Anderson receiving the Encouragement Award.
Under 15- Unfortunately, due to a number of injuries we had to forfeit Friday’s game. We have a bye this week so we should be back firing in two weeks time!!! Hang in there boys.
Under 16-The under 16s had the fire and passion back in their bellies when they took on Palmwoods on Friday night. It was a very even tussle in the first half with only a try the difference going into the break.
With only 12 players on the paddock in the second, Noosa stood up and went on a try scoring spree. Fred Morris, Ethan Pye and Cooper “Coal Train” Taylor all had standout performances.
Under 16 Girls- The girls played exceptionally well this week against Beachmere and Nambour at home in Cooroy.
Their improvement was evident in the final scores, with a draw against Beachmere who in the past have kept the girls scoreless. Although they had a loss with Nambour, the final scores said it all.
This is the first season for the girls; Gabbie Hill, Taela Whitmore, Jess Henderson, Megan Staples, Donna Christensen and Giorgi Pert who joined forces with the Palmwoods girls to have a team for this season. They have shown a massive improvement against teams with a lot more game time and experience.
Gabbie, Megan, Jess and Taela were strong in defence, and Gabbie proved yet again why she was selected in the girls U/16 Wide Bay team heading up to Cairns in July with her constant hit ups.
Well done girls!
