Round 1 fixtures for Whitsunday Brahmans against Souths Sharks in Mackay Saturday afternoon.
Not a great result overall but plenty to build on. Unfortunately, the reserve grade side were unable to field a team for the round 1 clash but are looking to put a strong side in for Round 2.
First grade should be near full strength in this weekend when they host their first home game of the year against Wests Tigers.
This also coincides with the club’s annual sponsors day where sponsors are thanked for their contribution to the club.
First game of the season saw U20's come in with a lot of fresh faces and old, as the team debut 9 players in their first taste of senior football.
Full time score for the U20’s was 24-6 to Souths, but as the coach, did not have a lot of time, he couldn't fault the effort and maturity that came from the experienced senior players and debutants.
In first grade errors and lack of discipline saw a saw a strong South outfit take the lead early and never look back. A 30 - 0 half time score line ended in a 54 - 4 final result.
Plenty will be taken away from the game by the young Brahmans for sure. There is enough talent in the side to turn things around quickly this week against Wests.
