Whitsunday Sea Eagles hit the road across all grades in treacherous conditions to get to Bakers Creek on Saturday with some cracking AFL played across the board.
With a number of players out Sea Eagles Senior Men saw some under 17s step up to assist in their 85 – 21 win. First quarter saw a slow start with Sea Eagles starting to win the ball from the middle in the second quarter from ruckman Hudson McGregor, then giving midfielders Adam McKelvie and Brent Downie the advantage.
Peter Moore and Jake West worked well together in the forward line scoring five goals for the quarter showing a lead of 35 points at half time. The defence worked hard in the second half with Tyne Chick, Greg VanProoyen and Michael Maltby hold Bakers scoreless at the other end.
Short on numbers this week it was a tough game for the Senior Women playing to avoid a forfeit against the best team in the league. Despite the mismatch each and every Sea Eagles player put in a hard performance with the final score 0 – 122.
Under 17 Sea Eagles continue to grow and work together playing a consistent game for the day with patient footy whenever Bakers Creek challenged. A great team performance resulting in a great win 74 – 1 against an opposition that did not give up all day.
The nail biter of the day went to Under 14 Sea Eagles making use of their experience from last week and adapting well to another soggy day. As the weather cleared Bakers Creek mounted a comeback but Sea Eagles were able to hold out to win 28 – 26.
Under 12 Sea Eagles were keen to win with a clear game plan – win the bounce and get it to the goals. Sea Eagles came out firing showing what team work is all about taking the day 78 – 0.
Sea Eagles return to Mackay this coming Saturday, May 7 to take on the Magpies in all grades at Magpies Sporting Club.
