Saturday saw the three Whitsunday Sea Eagles Junior teams start their 2022 campaigns by hitting the road to challenge the Mackay Swarks at Rogers Oval. It was a wet and soggy day that greeted the Sea Eagles in Mackay however regardless of the weather all teams were excited to be back playing footy.
In very trying conditions it was great to see the new Under 17 team come together to play a great game. With Sea Eagles jumping to the lead the Swarks had to step up to put forward some challenges throughout the game. Playing patient footy and showing some great skills in the wet Sea Eagles managed to come away with a solid win first up 64 – 19. The playing group worked hard for the entire match to outperform the Swarks and we look forward to seeing what they can do in 2022.
The Under 14s were able to adapt well to the soggy conditions with all players able to work together to take out the win 30 – 2. With the advantage of the wind in the first quarter the team set out on the front foot. Sea Eagles held the lead all day however with Swarks kicking with the breeze in the last quarter the win was not secured until a close range goal in the fourth to seal the deal.
The youngest Sea Eagles showed some promising plays with grit and determination shining through in slippery conditions. The Under 12 Sea Eagles went down scoreless against a sizeable Swarks line up 0 – 44 with the muddy conditions throwing the team off guard.
All grades of Whitsunday Sea Eagles take on Bakers Creek at Etwell Park this Saturday so get down to support them.
