Despite the rain, all of our teams got to play their scheduled games yesterday .. the miracle of Kariong Oval is amazing, the drainage work has given them a fantastic playing surface! Starting from the early games the u11s had a good win over Gosford, followed by the u17s playing a great game that finished with a try each, but a late penalty sealed it for Kariong 10-5. Then the u14s took on the comp leaders and really stuck with the strong Kariong team. The 5-22 result is ...a lot closer than anyone expected. Then both opposing u14s teams lined up to clap on the Barbarians who were in a cracker of a game, tight all the way before the Barbarians got the result over Woy Woy 19-17. Next up was 2nd grade, a tough game to watch - we had a strong team but nothing worked and some heavy late scoring by Kariong left us at the wrong end of a 3-22 result. Tom Cole kicked the penalty, 3pts & players player to Paul Leef, 2pts John Paterson, 1pt Shaun Thompson. Firsts found themselves with some late dropouts meaning Jake McPhie got his first run-on start in the top grade - new to the Club, Jake and his brother Luke have already proven to be great Club men helping out wherever they can - now both starting to show some real potential on the field. Justin Thomas did a great job after also having been grabbed out of 2nds mid-game to be part of the 1sts. The game itself was a lot closer than last year and finished with a 31-0 result to the Sharks. Tries to Emile Thomas, Pete Steele (who also got players player and the 3pts), Chad Martin, Matt Anderson and Sam Evans. Dylan Hardaker landed 3 conversions. 2pts to debutante Jake McPhie, 1pt to Mitchell Jacob & Mick Critter Arnold.
The Colts had their game moved from Gosford to Woongarrah and got much closer to comeptiton leaders Gosford than the last time they played. 10-25 was the final score, with tries to Thomas Starkey & Rhys Stratton - who also got the 3pts, 2pts to Tom Starkey and 1pt to Tyler Mcmanus & Wesley Chegwidden. Players player to Luke Wiseman who later in the afternoon came on as a reserve to get his first game time in first grade. Well done Luke!
Over at Ettalong the u12s and u13s both had big wins, and like all our teams were very grateful to Woy Woy who took on hosting our games for the day. The u10s showed big improvement in a tight loss against the home team at Warnervale. You know the story with the u7s, u8s & u9s. They are always great games to watch, no matter what the score! They are out there having lots of fun and loving the game.
Next week Seniors play The Entrance at JBO to complete the first round, with Colts playing Woy Woy at the same ground. Cheers boys!
