Sea Eagles Men Smash Preseason Premiers

Whitsunday Sea Eagles enjoyed footy back in paradise on Saturday with all five teams at home in Airlie Beach against Bakers Creek Tigers.

Coming off a bye, the Sea Eagles Senior Men were a little flat and struggled to match the Tigers’ intensity for the first quarter, being outscored three to zip.

Sea Eagles started the second on a mission to match the travelling side, and successfully managed three goals whilst holding Bakers Creek to a single point.

The home side kicked up a gear in the second half, shutting Bakers Creek down completely whilst working well with the ball and putting a further five goals on the board to come away 67–21 winners.

Sea Eagles Senior Women had a tough day against the ladder leaders who simply outplayed them. Sea Eagles managed to show improvement from last time they met, though, eventually seeing a 1–101 loss.

Sea Eagles Under 17s once again won comfortably. Keeping Bakers Creek scoreless in the first quarter whilst piling on six goals.

The U17s proceeded to shower the sticks throughout, with goals and points in even numbers ending with an 80–20 win.

After a fairly slow start the Sea Eagles Under 14s came out in the second half with purpose to win convincingly against Bakers Creek, 50–15.

Sea Eagles Under 12s soared at the nest this weekend, coming away more than comfortable winners against a scoreless Bakers Creek Tigers team 60–0.
