Pirates end on muddy note

By JODIE BUSHBY

Under 9 White
THE rain has ended the season a week early for the mighty Noosa Pirate U9 Whites. The boys were really looking forward to the carnival, and by all reports had trained the house down this week. During the season, the boys really developed into a great team and played some great footy, learning the game and really making all of us proud. This is a big credit to their coach Issac Smith. What a great year.
Under 11 Gold
Unfortunately this is where the season comes to an end for the Mighty U11 Goldies, going down to Palmwoods in very bleak conditions. It was a very tough game in extremely miserable conditions.
Under 12A
The Under 12A finished off the regular season with a hard fought win over Caboolture. The game was played in very wet and muddy conditions. Overall, we finished the season in third place and next week the side has its semi-final down at Kawana at 9am, so come down and support the U12A mighty Pirates.
Under 13A
After the worst possible start, the Pirates came up with the best possible result, and will now play off during the week with Gympie for a spot in the semis. This team is starting to show the potential that the team really has.
Under 14B
14Bs headed down to Bribie in terrible conditions. It bucketed down the entire game. Special mention to Jhy Symes who courageously dived on a loose ball off the second half kick-off with opposition all over him. It was one of those plays where you know it’s not going to be pretty and Jhy was subsequently taken to hospital with what ended up being a very badly swollen and bruised shin. You never gave up boys, and for that you should all be proud.
