@happy tiger said:Our boys are doing it tough , after starting the season with 19 players and a star recruit from an opposing team things have gone pear shaped
With a combination of issues with parents/coach , kids leaving town with parents because of the work situation etc we are down to 14 players (with another leaving shortly , jobs are going left right and centre up here )
Two were away last week so we had the bare 12 and were in the game at HT at 4-0 down Our hooker got badly badly winded and we had to finish the game with 11 and got beaten 14-0
Boys are 1/5 for the season
@hobbo2803 said:Our boys got off to a great start .
Played round 1 last weekend
Lower Mountains defeated Glenmore Park
16-10
It was a cliffhanger of a game . We had 2 Trys disallowed from kicks as aparentley the ball went higher than it went further :unamused:
Hobbo Jnr scored the match winner with a Kamakazi crash ball over the line with 2 mins to go .
This weekend will be a grand final replay when the boys take on the Giant Polynesian pack from St Mary's .
@hobbo2803 said:Round 2 was last week …. The Grand Final replay against St -Mary's .
The boys were victorious winning 24-16
Round 3 was this morning , the boys played Windsor Wolves who had dropped down from division 1 into our comp .
They did well to hang in there but we're out classed 28-8 .
Hobbo Jnr was forced from the field with 2 mins to go after performing a charge down which went wrong .... ( impact was loud ) .
Although regaining Possesion he know has a busted top and bottom lip !
@goldcoast tiger said:Gold Coast u/11'sRep Carnival Last Weekend
Congratulations to the Gold Coast under 11's on a hard fought win.
Thanks to some great attack and even better defence they managed to go through the weekend undefeated against teams from Ipswich, Toowoomba,Beenleigh,Redcliffe,and Pittsworth.
As the team was one the two smallest team in the carnival. They appeared to have little chance of making the final , let alone winning it, but as the weekend went on and the team knocked off every team in the preliminary rounds , they not only made it
To the final, but defeated Recliffe in the final.
I was amazed at the size of the Redcliffe, Ipswich, and Beenleigh teams . They sure grow them big in Qld.
However it didn't worry the Coast kids, and they defended really well in every game.
Their attack was good throughout the Carnival , but it was the defence that won the carnival for them.
They just cut down all the big boppers, who were used to running through the smaller teams. Then the faster kids laid on the points.
All the kids showed a lot of courage in getting in front and stopping the bigger kids
And there was a lot of proud parents by Monday afternoon,
And at least a couple of G/Grand Parents.
My g/son was so happy to make the team, as it was his first RL Rep team, as he was the youngest in the Carnival. (U10) so this post is possibly a bit biased.
Also the teachers that Coached and looked after the team, did a great job over the weekend.
And the kids would have had no trouble sleeping on Mon. Night. They were completely exhausted.
