NOOSA JUNIOR RUGBY
UNDER 7
Caloundra was the opposition on a beautiful day for footy.
With a full side this week and only one game, the boys were ready to play. An aspect to training lately has been learning to run onto the ball when it’s passed to you and all the practice has made perfect with all the boys proving hard to tackle. Defensively, the players have practiced working as a team and today they all stepped up. It was a really great team effort, possibly the best of the year, but for scoring his first ever tries Axel took home the player of the match award.
UNDER 9 BLUE
Noosa dusted off the first week back and ventured down to Caloundra for one of the first games of the day.
After a great training Thursday put on by coach Matt, the boys were raring to put it into practice and team spirit was at an all time high.
Sam led the boys onto the field as today’s captain and they hit the ground running with Bailey over the line in the first few minutes of the game and Caloundra knew we were ready to play.
Lachie put on the DH shirt with pride and drove the ball out to FR to set up the boys with solid runs forward to see Cooper steam over the try line for two and Bailey for another.
Rhy and Clancy were standouts in driving the ball up the field with solid runs and a try for Rhy in the second half.
Captain Sam took a sneaky ball over the line in the corner and a big thank you to Cooper Payne who filled in for us today and added a try to our tally. A big welcome back to Tait who has been much missed and we are glad to have you back on the field.
Another great game to watch and a hard one to single out a man of the match when the whole team was in sync.
Rhy took out man of the match for his solid runs with a mention to the rest of the team for the integral part they played in a great game.
