U9s v Saints by Team Manager Andrew Hillhouse  

The Eumundi Dragons under 9 team continues to improve and develop. The had a hard fought win against Saints in Gympie on Saturday. The whole ream stepped up this week with very ferocious  work in the rucks and mauls by Josh V, Jett D, Josh K , Ted W and George H. 

Many times the dragons would come out with the ball resulting in some strong close running by Josh, Josh and Jasper.  When the ball went a bit wider and George H, Josh V , Tristan Y ,Brooklyn and Aiden H would make breaks around and through the opposition. Tries were scored  both in tight and out wide. Passing and ball skills also improved from last week.  This week our defence was much stronger with many tackles made by every member of the team at times holding the opposition out meters from the try line for numerous phases. There were some heroic try saving tackles by Aiden and Tristan on much bigger players and it was great to see Aiden run almost the full length of the field to catch and tackle a runaway Saints player.  Player of the week this week goes to Aiden for showing great spirit and bravery and  always backing up. Also great to see the team acknowledge each others efforts.
