Jack O’Leary and Ryan Hargreaves both made their A-grade rugby league debuts for the Nambour Crushers on the weekend.

The boys, pictured above, started playing footy together as 6 year olds for Nambour Junior Rugby League Club and have played through the ranks to make it all the way to the top.

In addition to Jack and Ryan two other players — Keegan McKinnon and Kodie Brown-Kiro — also made their Division 1 debuts.

In other news, Nambour Crusher players David Oakes, Kyle Shelford, Nathan Saumalu and Eva Carless have been selected to join the Sunshine Coast Falcons squads to compete in the 47th Battalion Carnival to be held in Bundaberg this weekend.

The Crusher Women bounced back on Saturday in the ANZAC Round 4 at Kawana. It was a gutsy effort with the team coming from behind to seal the win 26-16.
