U6 Fins 30 d Brothers 25
IT WAS a fierce game full of tough defence and tactical play by both sides. Brendan slipped through the opposition to score the first try. The tagging by George, Gus, Rory and Myles ensured the speedy Swordfishes were held back from the try line on many occasions. Jaxon crossed on two occasions. Rory and George and Tana also scored a try apiece. Phoenix’s kicking and gutsy runs helped the fins gain ground on numerous occasions. Dominos Pizza Player of the Match goes to George White.
SCGS 45 d U6 Reds 40
STOIC defence and blistering runs were the order of the day. Try as they might, an organised Grammar outfit were unable to penetrate the midfield muscle of Darcy, Conor, Jax and Charlie while out wide attacking options were stifled by the rush defence of Jaxon, Zac, Harry and Stirling. Noah and Angus contributed well and had their best games to date. Despite the running hard and straight, Grammar proved too strong for the Noosa boys who showed great sportsmanship in defeat. Domino’s Pizza Player Of The Match was Jaxon Peermamode.

Atticus burst through from a line out to score and tackled courageously. Joch went forward strong and low always making ground.

Domino’s Pizza Player of the Match Kaleb is going from strength to strength.
U9 Reds 40 d Maroochydore 30
ANOTHER tough close game that saw Noosa prevail against quality opposition. The Noosa boys managed to keep their noses in front all game, but Maroochydore kept finding and when they did, the boys rose to the challenge.
Try scorers were Jackson four, two to Andrew one each to Bailey and Reggie. The squad has now been undefeated for several weeks and that is testimony to the hard work of the coaches, involvement of the parents and most of all, the great attitude displayed by the boys. Domino’s Pizza Man Of The Match was Harry Hewitt.
U9 Fins 40 d Maleny 20
MALENY proved to be stiff opposition in the freezing conditions at Witta and raced out to a 20-to-10 lead. Once the boys warmed up on the field, they took control of the match and went on to record a very gutsy victory with a hat-trick to Flynn and one each to Fynn, Joel, Leif, Tom and Mack. The passing and defence in particular from all the boys was superb. Domino’s Pizza Man Of The Match was Flynn Charman.
U10 Reds 38 d Grammar 7
IT WAS an exciting and evenly matched game but the Reds were strong, played like a team and performed very well. The forwards were quick to the breakdown and got the ball out efficiently to backs whose speed was too much for Grammar on the day. Tries were scored by Dominic Young(1), Max Ruster (3) and Tom Auty (2). Four Conversions were kicked by Flynn O’Connor. Tom Auty was awarded the Domino’s Pizza Player of the Match for his two well earned tries.
U10 Fins 67 d St Andrew’s 15
A SENSATIONAL performance helped the Fins run in 11 tries and make it three wins in a row. Ashton put continual pressure on the opposition with solid forward play, and Jason burst through the line several times to help create try-scoring opportunities. Soren made some crucial tackles to go with a solo try and the power of Joe helped him notch up another try. Four tries to Lockie and his link-up play helped Oliver, James and Ethan to go over for tries of their own. Try scorers: Lockie (4), Joe, Soren, Oliver, James, Ethan, Harrison and Jarrah. Conversions: Jarrah (3), Soren, James and Lockie. Domino’s Player of the Match was Ashton Hart.
U13 Noosa – 48 d MFAC 5
THE Noosa U13 Dolphins were not going to let the Matthew Flinders U13 have a sniff of victory. Led by Domino’s Pizza Player of the Match Tom with 28 points (4 tries, 4 conversions) the Dolphins showed their class today. A magnificent display of running rugby by the boys which led to tries from Liam (2), Jordan and Yvahn.
U14 Dolphins 48 d Maroochydore 7
FANTASTIC performance from the boys this weekend. The forwards dominated every facet of play, winning the scrums, lineouts and the rucks. Noah, Jed Kai and Jesse ran through the Maroochydore pack. The backs enjoyed the space that the forwards created. While attack was excellent, the defence was outstanding, typified by a great tackle by Jack to shut down a break down the wing which looked to be a certain try. Three tries to John who was outstanding, with one each to Noah, Jesse, Alex, Sameet and Tom. Josh kicked four conversions. Domino’s Pizza Player of the Match was Jayden Arca.
