Under 14 Whites play Under 14 Blues

What a fantastic display of football to open the Senior Rugby League games last Sunday at Pioneer Oval. The Under 14 Blues beat the Under 14 Whites last game and were out to prove their dominance while the Under 14 Whites were keen to even the score and walk away with a win. The atmosphere was set for a good game.

Malakai Folau made a break leaving the Whites defence behind him to score with another successful conversion by Kaid.

Blues worked hard to get over the line but Whites defence was strong holding them out and gaining possession. Oliver Thomas made a break but was chased down and stopped by Kaid Lydford. Whites couldn't get the ball over before half-time.

Second half saw much of the same. Both teams displaying strong defence. Jay Arrow was over to score and Marley converted giving the Whites the lead.

Tye Toomey scored for the Blues but unfortunately conversion was missed. The score was even and the pressure on for both teams to stay focused.

Malakai Folau made another break and the Whites couldn't catch him as he scored and conversion by Kaid was successful. But the Whites fought back with Oliver Thomas scoring and Marley successfully converting.
