NOOSA DOLPHINS
UNDER 7
Wow, what an exciting last round of the season, Under 7s played down at Caloundra for their final games of the year and how awesome were our boys. The first game was just a warm-up against Caloundra Black and we were just giving them a little tease of what was about to come in the second game against Caloundra Gold.
It was the boys’ first ever game at tackle in preparation for next year and boy did we unleash some sensational play. The sideline was going wild, there was defence coming out of nowhere, tries being scored left, right and centre. We have had a fantastic season from the Under 7 team and we look forward to more of it next year.

A howling westerly and smoke-filled air set the scene as the Reds’ season came down to the wire with two games against quality opposition.
The boys have worked hard all season and they weren’t about to let the last two games of the season upset their perfect record as they took to the field with a focus and concentration rarely witnessed in a nine-year-old.
Defence was stout in the first game against the Lighthouses as a well-structured forwards’ effort set up space for the backs to roam and score several tries.
The normally strong Brothers team had been worn down with two hard games against the Noosa Whites and Fins, and although they never gave up, the Reds’ attack was relentless and determined with a display that made the coaching staff proud. Thanks for a great season boys!

Noosa Dolphins
What a way to finish the Under 9 Dolphins season – it was running rugby all round winning the double against Brothers and Caloundra. Wilkie pounced from the ruck to score early while Ethan again showed his determination as a ball runner and tackler. Rory weaved some magic and Jaxon had them puzzled as to which way he was going to step. Phoenix charged the ball up with the opposition falling off like flies. Harry and James tackled like Trojans with Charlie zipping up the blind side for points. CJ and Richie applied too much pressure as the day began to lean our way. It would have been easier with Serena on the paddock but they didn’t anyway and finished on top! Well played Fins!

Noosa White
Super Saturday of Junior Rugby Union this week against Brothers White and also against Flinders. Noosa White beat both teams convincingly by 30 points. Even though the windy conditions at Brothers were not favourable for either teams or spectators, Noosa White once again showed the true meaning of teamwork and sportsmanship for their very last two games of the season. A huge thank you to the amazing coaching team of Chris Fuller, Scott Cairns and Butch Uechtritz who have put their hearts and souls into the Under 9s Noosa White team, who have not let them down once this season with their huge effort every game. And last but not least a massive thank you to the group of parents who have got their kids to training and games on time every week, who cheer the kids on consistently regardless of whether they win or lose. Without this amazing group of volunteers and parents their would not be any junior sport.
