Three teams from the Eumundi Dragons Rugby Union Club travelled to Noosa for some exciting games in place of Eumundi where the waterlogged fields were unplayable.
The U9s played two mini- games, firstly against University and then against Maroochydore .
In the first match the Eumundi boys were a little tentative in defence but all this changed in the second game against Maroochydore with solid defence and excellent support play ensuring the Dragons putting on a much better display of their Rugby skills , for the enjoyment of their cheering fans.
Will Campbell-Jones, Max Johnson-Thompson and Jett Herbert were very effective in attack with Craig Yaxley showng early glimpses of what he is capable of as a powerful forward.
Both the U6s and U7s continued to display that they will be future champions of the game.Their skill levels have come ahead in leaps and bounds, as is a very evident team spirit in both teams.
In the U6s Tristan Youd made some fantastic runs down the sideline while Isla Youd , Nya Johnson-Thompson , Nixon Griggs , Jack Cooper , Henry Dean and CJ Sands contributed to ensure that their Maroochydore opposition were left in no doubt that the Dragons are a force to be reckoned with !!
The U7s also played a Maroochydore team with Brooklyn Griggs , George Hillhouse, Billy Gunton and Zac Eaton showing good combinations in attack and defence . Brody Ruster and Finn Rivers were both tireless players who are really starting to develop as integral members of the team. Special thanks to Jack from the U6s who helped out to ensure that we had a complete team on the paddock.That’s the Dragons Spirit.
The player of the morning for the U7s was Billy who was presented with the coaches ” Eveready Award ” for never seeming to run out of energy !!
