NOOSA Dolphins Junior Rugby Union Under-11 Fins starred in slippery conditions to defeat the Eumundi Dragons 53-5.
With an early start time in slippery conditions the Fins took a while to warm up and really get going.
The teams were still close after 10 minutes before the Fins moved through the gears to dominate the rest of the match with the backline linking well, neat passing and powerful runs.
Tryscorers for the Fins were Jarrah Charlesworth (3), Josh Whitehill (2), Lockie Dudgeon, James Gelling, Joe Siemon. Conversions – Jarrah Charlesworth (3), Lockie Dudgeon while Donnie Meadows was player of the match.
The Under-7 Reds also braved cold conditions to put in a spirited display against the well-drilled Eumundi Dragons 70-55.
Both teams traded tries with only a couple of simple errors proving the difference between the teams.
Man of the match Harry Robson starred with an eight try haul but his performance was set up on the back of a strong defensive game from Noah and Will.
Darcy found open field but was pulled up just short of the line and Zac’s goose step was put to good use as he bamboozled defenders with ease, and as usual Conor tackled his heart out.
The Under-15s Noosa 21 defeated SCGS 7 in a tough encounter.
A hard- fought first half saw Grammar score first and hold the lead until just before half-time.
Handling proved tricky in the Friday evening conditions for both sides. The boys were tenacious and piled on the pressure in the second half to score two more tries to remain undefeated leading up to the finals in a few weeks.
Tries to Tom Siemon, Adam Habershon and Noah Blake. Conversions – Josh Brooks 2, Jock Hansson 1.
