Juniors show their colours

NOOSA JUNIOR PIRATES
UNDER 8 YELLOW
THE rain cleared and the home fields were good for a clash against the Nambour Crushers in an impressive mighty Under 8s game. Great mateship and sportsmanship to all. Player of the Match was awarded to Phoenix Angelakos.
UNDER 9 YELLOW
A classic cross town rivalry between the Pirates and the Nambour Crushers. A true team effort again this week from the boys with Jack having his first game for the club but slotting in like a seasoned campaigner. A really good performance by the team and a great game to watch.
UNDER 10 BLUE AND YELLOW
The UNder 10s played at home against Nambour in very wet conditions. Both Blue and Yellow teams put in excellent games with defence and attacking skills on show for the home crowd. Josh and Roy attempted a chip chase combination that nearly worked and would have been pretty spectacular. Player of the Match was awarded to Lachlan Neville.
UNDER 11 BLUE
Under 11 Blue played against Stanley Rivers at home on Saturday (18 June). After a tough month of footy the boys continued on from a draw last week with a very convincing win. Attitude and our try line defence won the game. The boys have some self belief and can continue to play some great footy in the second half of the season.
Player of the Match was awarded to Jake.
UNDER 11 YELLOW
This week the teams had a home game against Nambour and got the points with a 28 to four victory. It is great to watch Ashton Clifford, who is really starting to run the ball hard, crossing over for a double this week. Andre was once again in solid form at fullback, Jed Bullman called some set plays from halfback and Arlo was quick at the play the ball. Jackson Smith got involved and made some hard hits, and Levi Hooper tackled well.
UNDER 12 GOLD
Under 12 Noosa Gold played the undefeated Caboolture Snakes today and brought home a well-deserved win 16 to 14. The Noosa boys came out strong in the second half with their defence. It was a very intense game to watch; a real crowd pleaser and one of the best this year so far. Man of the match could not be picked or named today as these boys all did their part and put all they had into this game.
UNDER 12 GIRLS
Under 12 Girls’ had another gala game at home this weekend. The official comp for the Under 12s will start after the holidays, stay tuned for more info as it comes out.
UNDER 14 GIRLS
Noosa/Kawana travelled to Beerwah on Friday (17 June) to play against the Beachmere/Bribie/Beerwah team. Not having had a game in several weeks, unfortunately the girls were just no match this time around and had the mercy rule enforced midway into the second half as the score climbed to 56 to six. Ashka earnt the three points award for always trying hard and having a go. Two points were awarded to Jazmine and one point was awarded to Brittney.
UNDER 16 GIRLS
With only eight players, two of those playing up from the Under 14s, it was always going to be a tough ask against Caboolture at Beerwah on Friday night. Caboolture kindly only played eight players and as the game wore on they even had a couple of their girls come over and play for us. Thanks for the thought and sportsmanship. An honorable mention to Brittney Crosby who, while very quick on her feet, was also seen carting the ball forward in the middle.
