Keeping in Touch
IT was a battle of pink with Pinklets and Pink Thunder first game up in our Under 10 division last week. Pinklets managed to hold on to be in front at the end of the game with Lillian, Makayla and Eden all playing well.
Purple Strikers were too strong for the GSLC girls with Paige, Breanna and Lakota leading their teams around the park. In a tight match, Amigos held on against the fast finishing GSLC boys. Ben, Charlie and Harry all had great games. Tewantin took the points over Sunshine this time around with Atticus, Broc and Charlie performing strongly.
Sunshine Rippers and Panthers played an entertaining match to open proceedings in the Under 12s. Both teams put in tremendous team efforts with Panthers just ahead at the final siren. Banana Splits were on fire with unyielding defence in their game against the Tewantin girls. Monique, Maddie and Abbi all showed great skill. Cooper, Ryan C and Harry had outstanding games in the match-up between Glen’s Guns and Warriors with the Glen’s Guns boys taking the win.
In the U14/16 girls division, NDSHS 9s (green) played strongly and had a win over GSLC (gold). Putting in mighty efforts for their teams were Tiana, Jaidyn and Tahli. NDSHS 7s went down fighting to SBST with Tenay, Tayla and Jessie having stellar games. Sunshine Rebels proved too strong for NDSHS 8s. Zoe, Lucy and Holly produced first rate games. NDSHS 9s (blue) gave it their all against GSLC (maroon) but GSLC took the win this time around. Lilly-Belle, Abbey and Kirra showed great play.
Only three games in the U14/16 boys division this week due to players being on school camp. The Illuminatis had a barnstorming win over NDSHS 9s (blue) with Lachie, Hayden and Joe Max being named as team players of the game. Although a gutsy effort was on display by The Magic Touch, GSLC were the winning team with Benson, Jack and James all playing great touch. Rounding up the afternoon was a battle of the NDSHS 7 and 8s (blue and green). These teams couldn’t be separated at the final whistle and played out a thrilling drawn result. A superb effort by all of the players was shown in this game. Congratulations to the NDSHS girls teams who recently competed in the annual All Hallows School competition in Brisbane. By all accounts, all three teams played exceptionally well with both U15 teams making the semi finals in their respective divisions and the U13 team playing some great touch for what was their first carnival together. Until the next touchdown…
