U6 Dolphins
IT was serious stuff down at Grammar for the U6s, just one game this week, and boy did they have some energy. Fast paced, fancy footwork, and a heap of friendly banter to keep us all smiling. Smashing tries from Cuan, Kellen, Rorke, Gus and four tries from Daniel. Players of the Match were awarded to Daniel Miller and Kellen Donoghue.
U7 Fins 45 d Grammar Blue 20
The mighty fins have done it again with yet another blinder of a game against the Grammar Blues. With a defending line like a brick wall, the Blues struggled to get past from beginning to end, ensuring several turnovers of the ball to our favour. Jake, Harry, Kase and Myles passing skills and straight forward running helped the team be rewarded with several runaway tries on the turn over. This week’s try scorers were Uli, Jackson and a whopping five tries by Lachie earning him the prized reward. Special thanks to Callum for helping with numbers after having already played for his U6 team.
Player of the Match was awarded to Lachie Walker.
U8 Fins 100 d Caloundra Black 0
With a try being scored on average every two minutes, it’s a good job there were no linesmen for our game this week as they would have been exhausted. Caloundra Black were not given time to think during the game as the Fins mercilessly pounded their territory, stealing possession, ransacking weak defensive lines and laying waste to their try line. Suffice to say every player put in a very solid performance, Wilkie Anderson really found his feet this week as did the always committed Gus Anderson and Jaxon Peermamode with a pearler of a try after a silky smooth run in the second half.
Player of the Match was awarded to Harry Marlow.
U8 Reds 60 draw Uni 60
An undefeated Uni side with a formidable reputation lived up to their hype as they took to the field with gusto against a momentarily star struck Noosa Reds outfit. Uni got the scoring started and never looked back as the Reds were forced to defend with all their might, a few hard-earned team tries from Noosa meant a one-try deficit at half time and an uphill battle against a well-drilled team growing in confidence. Noosa were hot on attack and hungry for what seemed at times like an unlikely victory when Uni clinched a crucial turnover on their line to bring a nail-biting and entertaining match to an end.
Player of the Match was awarded to Ritchie Bourne.
U10 Grammar 29 d Noosa Red 19
Probably the best rugby from the Reds all year against a classy Grammar outfit. Scores were locked at 12-all at half time, but Grammar got the jump to race away before Noosa clawed their way back into the contest. Two barnstorming tries by Pearl and one cracker after the combination of Tom and Flynn worked their magic. Toby was unlucky not to be awarded a fair try, Hunter galloped tirelessly and Dylan produced an absolute corker of a game.
Player of the Match was awarded to Dylan Wilson.
U11 Fins 28 d Grammar 14
It did not start well for an unsettled Fins. After too many silly penalties, they were quickly down by 14 points to a well-drilled Grammar team. Sam was moved into the forwards restoring speed and intensity at the breakdown with a quality effort. After that the Fins forwards settled with Jackson producing some great turnover ball and Matt toughening the middle up with some bell ringer tackles. With ball now in hand, the Fins raced in four unanswered tries from Joseph who continues to impress in his rookie season. A great effort from the boys to fight back from such a large deficit against a quality Grammar team.
U11 Reds 12 d Caloundra 5
Caloundra came to play and the Reds had a battle Royale on their hands. Eventually, the Reds prevailed on the back of a great team defensive effort. The forwards were courageous in the rucks while the backs made big tackles out wide to stop a hard-running Caloundra. A great try from Cam made the difference on the scoreboard as the Reds continue their role with three wins on the trot.
U13 Grammar 74 d Dolphins 0
Great team effort again with some very good attacking which sadly didn’t end in points. The team did well against a strong Grammar team.
Player of the Match was awarded to Dane Dwyer.
