Pirates too strong for Colts

UNDER 13 Gold Pirates Junior Rugby League team have shown awesome team spirit to defeat the Coolum Colts 42-16 in their round 20 match.
It was a whole team effort as the Gold team steamed to victory with, Floyde K earned three points for his efforts while Willaim B showed outstanding commitment on field with his defence while Jordy took one point for his efforts.
The Under 11 Blue put in another determined effort to win themselves a skilled win at Beerwah. Faultless defence, teamwork, good decisions and stepping up when under pressure.The whole team displayed a “Player of the Match” effort and will take that confidence and determination into next week when they will play their Pirate Gold clubmates for a grand final spot.
Under 11 Gold took on the might of Kawana White this week. Kawana bounced out of the blocks so quick that it wasn’t until the second half that Noosa managed to keep up with them. From the start Gold were up against it. Kawana came at them quickly and put on a few early tries that we weren’t able to claw back in the first half.
The second half was a different story with Gold managing to get themselves into the pace of the match and pressing Kawana hard for the final 20 minutes.
The Under 12 Gold came out and gave the spectators a really good game to watch, showing them they can play great footy when they play together and put their bodies on the line. Going down 24-10 the score board doesn’t do justice to how well they played showing great commitment in defence and attack across the whole team with two runaway tries being the difference.
Three points goes to big Kade Grazotis for driving up the middle making good yards all day, two points to Heath Robinson for his usual tireless effort in attack and defence and one point to the entire team for giving a red-hot go right across the field.
OTHER RESULTS:
Under-7 White – All the boys worked hard keeping Nambour to two tries with desperate defence, especially near their own line. Only the carnival to go boys and footy will be finished for the year. You have all played so well all year and your parents and families have enjoyed every minute watching this year.
Under-9 Blue -Today the boys were at home on a beautiful sunny day in Noosa.
We played two games, the first game against Nambour and the second game against Kawana.
The boys probably had their best day of footy all season, absolutely blitzing both teams. Encouragement awards today went to Lachlan Neville and Joshy Palmer. Man of the Match went to a very deserving Jett Cannon.
Under-10 Blue – The team played a very good game against Nambour. We have been beaten quite easily by Nambour in past games but not this time which is evidence to how much the team has improved. Good strong running by Ashton, Jake, Liam, Calieb, Jack and Arlo in the middle. Great creative play through Joel, Ivan, Danyal, Daniel, Jed and Jordan.
Under-10 Yellow – This week our team played at home against Nambour. The game was a real physical encounter. Ryan Fox and Charlie Cook both played great games. Jordan made some big runs and Caleb Hart made a couple of big try saving tackles. Jed was active at half back and was well supported by Dylan.
Under-14 Blue – Friday night football wasn’t good for the boys. They struggled in the first half having only 13 players with no reserves. The final score was 36-14. Tries went to Chase McChesney (2) and Lachlan Ellings (1) with Jamie Gollagher converting 1. Man of the match went to Owain Ritson who made countless tackles. Special mention to Kye Hennessey and Toby Burton.
Under -14 Gold – The 14As trekked up the Bruce Highway to Gympie this week for the penultimate round of the competition and came away with a convincing victory. Best players were the halves with captain Sean Rodger looking better in the six every week and Chance Wells showing it’s the size of the heart that counts.
