Superb rugby despite lashing rains

By JOE JURISEVIC

U6 Reds 50 draw U6 Fins 50
PLAYING in very wet conditions failed to wipe the smiles from the faces of the brave Noosa teams, the boys ran in some beautiful tries battling rain and winds. Darcy’s backing up rewarded him with a classic front rower’s try while Charlie and Conor skilfully passed between each other to break down the organised Fins defensive line. Domino’s Pizza Players Of The Match were Darcy and Zac.
U8 Noosa White 25 d Noosa Reds 20
The game’s on and away the side goes, with rains getting heavier. Captain Remy ran the reds on and got into the action catching a slippery pill that popped up in front of him to go forward mowing down a few and then passed back. Deserved Domino’s Pizza Player of the Match Atticus revelled in the difficult conditions securing ball driving over and scoring two tries. The game could have gone either way and the boys did extremely well given the conditions.
U10 Caloundra 34 d Noosa Fins 5 –
The score doesn’t reflect the competitiveness of this game against the undefeated ladder leaders. Caloundra were the bigger team physically and pressed home this advantage on the scoresheet, but they were more than matched by the Fins spirit, guts, fight and never-say-die attitude. Harry, Jason, Ethan, Jarrah, Ashton, Soren and James all punched well above their weight and Lockie Dudgeon, always a threat in attack, finished off a team effort by going over for his 32nd try of the season, the second highest tally in the league. Domino’s Pizza Player of the Match: James Gelling.
U14 Noosa 32 d Uni 5A
Good game played in trying conditions under lights on Friday night. Noosa forwards were again dominating in the heavy conditions and the backs enjoyed the space they created. Polished performances from the usual suspects with notable efforts from Noah, Kai, Leo and Zac Norman. Tries scored by Jesse Russell (2), Tom Seimon, John Gelling (2) and Sameet Raju while Josh Brooks kicked 1 conversion. Great game while playing out of position by Dominos Pizza Player of the Match Thomas Campbell.
