Pirates face off

IT was the game of the year as the two Junior Pirates Under-7 Rugby League teams came face-to-face in round 19 action.
Both sides were on top of their games and it was a tight tussle from kick off until the full-time hooter. It was all about defence.
Both sides were desperate with try-saving tackles at both ends. For White, Cooper Ward ran the ball hard and straight and Jai Bruggy never stopped pumping his legs with each hit up.
Hayden Anderson was Yellow’s player of the match scoring a try with some sensational running as he pushed through the defence.
