GRIT and determination was the order of the day for the under-8 Yellow Junior Pirates in their Rugby League game at the weekend.
The under-8s played a hard game against Coolum Colts. Down one player, another back from injury they put in a gutsy effort to ensure the Colts’ boys were kept on their toes in every play. A few tries, lots of tackles and some awesome sideline runs saw them put in a good, solid effort.
Meanwhile the under-7 Yellow side sailed on down to Kawana to meet for a midday game. The Pirates boys rocked the ocean and created a tsunami for the Dolphins. Player of the match, Lachlan Britten showed his true pace as he zipped through the defence to score five tries.
Under-10 Blue had a good game against Coolum. Line defence, practised at training, was very good.
The boys are starting to get some confidence and are playing as a team. Player of the match was Kalieb with great enthusiasm, as always, and helping out to make sure the team spread out in defence.
The under-10 Yellow team travelled to Palmwoods this week and with a super defensive effort that kept the opposition scoreless. Great work by man of the match Jarrah, with some really good tackles and some hard hit ups.
The under-11 Gold continued their great season. Week after week they turn up and do everything asked of them. This week was no different. Bribie Island arrived to play an intense brand of footy. The young Pirates all jumped into their boat and set their sails north to treasure island. Cade was the MVP in a solid victory.
Bright lights shone down on the under-13 Gold boys on Friday night with a feisty battle against Caboolture. Credit goes to the entire team as always, they all showed great commitment.
Encouraging support from the Noosa spectators with constant feedback to the players during play left a good feeling at the end of the match for all.
Well done to the players of the match (with so many outstanding), Floyd three points, Henry two points and Ethan one point.
