SEMI- final football on the weekend saw three Noosa Dolphins Junior teams progress through to next weekend’s grand finals which will be played on Sunday at Sunshine Coast Stadium.
A second half comeback from the Under 13s, saw them fight hard after a half-time 14 to 5 deficit against Brothers, only to fall four points short at the final whistle. Final score 14 to 10.
The Under 15s showed why they have been at the top of the table all year with a well-deserved win over Maroochydore scoring four tries to nil. They led 15 to 3 at halftime.
Tries to Jesse Russell, Jock Hansson, Tom Siemon and Leo Enkelmann saw the Dolphins run out comfortable winners 20 to 8.
The Under 16s have dominated all season and showed little mercy to Gympie running out 41 to 5 victors. Tries to Josh McKinlay 3, Jordan Chilver 2, Alex Cairns and William Christie. Conversions Linchn Parsons 2 and Jesse Birkett 1.
The Under 18s have also been the team to beat this year and progressed through to the grand final defeating Gympie 51 to 0 after leading 29 to 0 at half time.
Next week’s grand finals will see the following clashes at the stadium with games getting underway from 8.30am.
Finals to be decided will see Brothers v SCGS in the Under 13s and Brothers v Flinders in Under 14s. Under 15s kick off at 12.15 with Noosa playing SCGS. The Under 16s will see Noosa play Brothers at 1.30 with the final match for the year being the Under 18s Grand Final with the Noosa boys running out at 2.55pm.
Good luck to all the teams playing in the Grand Finals. The club hopes to see all junior players, parents and supporters at the Dolphins Clubhouse for presentation day this Saturday.
