NOOSA JUNIOR DOLPHINS
UNDER 6
THE Under 6 teams played the Swans and Lighthouse for the last games of the season. These boys have packed a punch playing two games a week for the entire season and not once breaking. What an effort! We saw some extreme footwork this week and a lot of speed from crowd favorites Jacob, Gus and Daniel, smashing through for awesome tries. Fantastic tackles from Sam, and killer dives from Kellen, these guys are unstoppable. All the boys have played an awesome season and it’s great to see them grow and respect each other as a team, can’t wait to see them grow up together. Three cheers for the Under 6s – Go Dolphins!
UNDER 7
The Under 7 Noosa Fins defeated the Brothers 55-35 in what was a superb effort from everyone on the field. The first try was had by Lachie before anyone knew the game had even started and he kept the pace throughout with another four tries later in the game. Awesome runs continued throughout and the boys kept their shape well ensuring the opposition could only run from side to side as they struggled to get through the brick wall of Fins boys. A huge thanks goes to the boys’ superlative coach Roger for his tireless dedication to the skills development of the boys. What a season it’s been. Players of the match went to Uli and Lachie.
UNDER 8
The Under 8 Noosa Fins defeated the Maroochydore Swans 65-25 in what was a tough game. Noosa prevailed with a 65 to 25 win over the speedy Swans, which saw a huge game from Mr Crow who once again busted the myth that size counts. This little pocket rocket crushed Maroochydore attacks with gut-busting tackles and enormous clear outs while still finding the time to score a hat trick of great tries. Well done Charlie ‘Mr Crow’ Mc Kerrow, Man of the Match truly deserved.
UNDER 9
Maroochydore defeated Noosa but it was a fantastic final fling for the Fins that saw the team of valiant warriors run and run and run in the fastest game of the year. Quick taps from ‘Dynamite Daniel’ set up some explosive charges for ‘The Fin’ Burgess and barges from ‘Mad Max’ McKerrow snatched valuable metres. Tom W’s fleet feet on the wing flew him towards the line time and time again. Mali and Ronan were outstanding in their weaving, darting sprints. The brutal tackling of Zahn demolished the pride of the opposition, creating space for Justin and Mackie to muscle their way forward. A helping hand from the Reds ‘Big Will’ was needed after a crunching head clash forced a reluctant Tom from the field. All in all, one of the best games of the year and the boys can retire with pride. Players of the match went to Daniel and Mackie.
UNDER 10
The Noosa Fins defeated the USC Barbarians 29-10. Captain Jacob finished off his first season with a great game and has continued to improve. The forwards did their job securing ball in attack that stopped USC with big tackles in defence, not allowing many metres for the Barbarians going forward. Big runs to Archie who powered over to score and Cody, Hunter and Jack who played courageously all day.
