Round 10
Under 7 White
Under 7 White took the long trip to Bribie Island and put on another magnificent team performance.
Lukas Byers, Bailey Drinnan and Cooper Drinnan all scored doubles.
Sam Proctor also scored a try.
Cooper Ward and Jai Bruggy ran hard and straight all day.
A special thank you goes to Brodie Taylor and Jack Eyles for helping out.
Man of the match was Sam Proctor.
Under 7 Yellow
The under 7 Yellow Pirates sailed into Snake territory and dominated the game from the first whistle.
Jackson had his front hubs locked in as he carried the defenders over the try line several times.
With an awesome step, Lachlan too dominated with multiple tries, along with Hayden and Brandon.
Riley, Cooper, Beau and the entire team dismantled the Snake’s attack with some impressive defence.
Jacko Aspinall was the player of the match with an outstanding performance in both attack and defence.
The teamwork within this group of boys is incredible. They show true mateship and a wonderful bond.
Under 8 Yellow
A trip south down the highway to Bribie Island was enough to get the boys fired up for an evenly matched game against a larger opposition.
With a few vacancies in the run on side, three of the fellow Pirates from one of the other teams stepped up.
Thanks to Nate, Ky and Nathan for helping out.
All boys contributed with a free flowing game.
Both teams were able to cross the line multiple times.
Pierce was outstanding in a man of the match performance.
His contribution in both defence and attack was paramount to the result.
Zahn and Lincoln continue to improve week on week with both looking for work.
Tackling technique (low and hard) was great to see.
Joe Tolano and Zeke McKenzie were both stand outs in attack even running straight at the biggest Bribie boys on the field.
Lachlan got to stretch his legs with some length of the field runs only to be caught within metres of the line.
Thanks to Glen for running the boys, they all thoroughly enjoyed the game.
Under 9 Blue
Under 9 Blue travelled down to Bribie Island for a great, sunny Saturday of footy.
The team was outstanding today with all the boys showing that everything they learn at training can pay off, their defence was excellent but their attacking game was on fire, with the boys spreading out well.
Encouragement award goes to Jett Cannon and man of the match goes to Cody Reid.
Under 10 Blue
U10 Blues had one of their better games against Bribie Island.
The kids’ attitude in defence was fantastic.
Even after a couple of tries scored against them in the first half they did not drop their heads and if anything worked harder in defence.
In the second half Noosa dominated with tries to Jake (2) and Eric (2).
It was the team’s effort that got them into position to score points.
Man of the match went to Jake Townsend who was outstanding in attack and defence.
Under 10 Yellow
Down at Bribe Island in windy conditions the first half was one of strong defence from both teams.
Charlie Cook, Riley Coster, Jackson Smith, Kaleb Hart and Jordan alltackled hard and strong. Ryan Fielding-Smith was very active and made some fast breaks.
In the second half the Pirates played some good footy with Jed Bullman and Ryan Fielding-Smith scoring trys.
It was also great to watch the dummy half Dylan run in a great try.
Man of the match was Ryan Fielding-Smith.
Under 11 Blue
U11 Blue met Palmwoods at home for a try to try match down to the wire.
Palmwoods got an early lead and Noosa Blue came back with asurge in attack in the second half.
Play slowed with multiple injuries and still lacking in defence, Palmwoods took advantage of its early lead to end just ahead.
Kynan was player of the match with some great runs Congratulations on your try and conversion.
Hamish also stoodout with a great game played today.
Under 11 Gold
A determined Nambour side took to the field to take on the power of Noosa Gold.
The boys from Noosa only seemed to manage to stay in the game by a few too many errors from their opposition.
Noosa took a more determined attitude with them onto the field in the second half and came away with the win.
The boys need to improve on their defensive and attacking corridors if they want to stay within range of the top 10.
Through all this there was still some good footy.
A massive welcome back to Dunny Breath from his overseas ballet tournament.
Congratulations on placing third in Australia.
Well done to Ethan Hozier for some rip tacking defence and Romper Stomping attack, earning him the most valuable player.
Under 14 Blue
The team played Palmwoods and saw another loss.
It wasn’t all bad, though, because there was one player who played his best game today and got man of the match and that was Ryan Baker.
Also special mention to Corey Mackenzie, Harry Taylor and also thanks to the boys who played for A Team and B Team (Corey Mackenzie, Steen Rutledge, Owain Ritson). Congratulations to Rhys McAdam for scoring the only try.
