Whitsunday Sea Eagles celebrated Sponsor and Volunteer Appreciation Day with all teams at home this week and Sponsors were treated to some fantastic wins throughout the day.
With three quality players returning from injury Sea Eagles Senior Men were determined to put in maximum effort against Bakers Creek and return to their style of footy. Max Mackay was back in the ruck giving Sea Eagles midfield first use of the ball with most of the game spent hitting the scoreboard taking out a convincing win 116 – 20. It was a great team effort throughout the match with Sea Eagles hoping to build momentum moving towards finals.
Sea Eagles Senior Women took on ladder leaders Bakers Creek going down 21 – 106 whilst showing improvement from the last two match ups during the year. Sea Eagles were able to score 3 goals against the dominant Tigers side making them work harder for their win.
It was important for Sea Eagles Under 17s to come out strong this week against Bakers Creek after a disappointingly close loss to the Saints last week. Impressing Sponsors the Sea Eagles midfield asserted their dominance to give their forwards first crack at the ball and take out the win 63 – 3.
Sea Eagles Under 14s showed what an organised outfit they have developed into with a great 57 – 17 win against Bakers Creek. Blake Hanks and Seanna Elies led from the front with great pressure and accuracy in front of goals.
Sea Eagles Under 12s won the toss against Sarina Demons and the day got better from there with a 60 – 0 win. Great teamwork kept the ball locked in Sea Eagles forward line for the majority of the game with the youngest Sea Eagles showcasing their skills.
Thank you to all Sponsors and Volunteers who support community sport, we could not achieve success without you. Head down to Mackay this weekend to support Sea Eagles teams taking on Mackay Magpies. Juniors from 8:45am, Seniors from 1:00pm.
