RUGBY LEAGUE

UNDER 6 BLACK vs Bungendore U6 Orange, Sunday May 13

The U6 Black team brushed off last week’s loss and went out firing on Mother’s Day against the Bungendore Tigers. Cruz Dunley started the match with a big kickoff and instantly proved he was in for a big game. Cruz defended, hungry for the ball and chased the tigers with conviction. It was no different when the ball was tucked under his arm and the try line was in sight, scoring a lightning fast try for his team. Toby Waters, already a future star, has only gotten stronger. His tackles were low and tough, and when running the ball he pushed through the row of defenders with a mighty force. Zane Goode had a serious need for speed this week. No Tiger could outrun him, he would chase and launch himself around their ankles and not let go until they dropped. He put points on the board with a super-fast run, finding a gap in the defence to put the ball down over the try line in style. Ashton Curtis, fresh off his first ever try last week was more determined than ever. He was right in the tackling game, working as a team to defend and also displayed he is capable of speed when the ball is passed to him and the wing is open, scoring a try after a full length run up the field. Lachlan Kesby stopped the Tigers in their tracks, his acceleration no match, giving his all and running the Tigers down. And he didn’t stop there, the speed machine was just too good, scoring two cracking tries in the game. Heath Wood had some huge hit ups, chewing up plenty of metres each time, once resulting in a full length try. And when defending it was no different, putting an end to the Tigers runs with quick, focused chases. Billy Buser sat the first quarter off and when it was time to play, he didn’t muck around. His first touch of the ball resulted in a duck and weave quest for try line. He didn’t stop impressing the crowd all game, scoring a total of 4 tries for the magpies with his strong and fast legs. Harry Donoghue showed courage with some big tackles, grabbing hold of the running Tigers and bringing them down by their shirts. He ran with confidence often into a wall of Tiger defence, as hard as he could. And his efforts paid off, scoring a superb try in the last quarter. Final score: 44-24. Tries: Billy 4, Lachlan 2, Zane 1, Heath 1, Cruz 1, Ashton 1, Harry 1. Player of the week: Ashton Curtis.
