Bombala Junior Rugby League season wraps up

Bombala Junior Rugby League U7s coach Louise Wright said that her U7s had had an amazing season.

“What a great way to finish with a mini carnival in Tathra that saw this little team of boys play three hard games. Each player stepped up and showed what they have to offer.

“It's a real shame that the season is over because the boys are really getting it together and playing like a real little team,” coach Wright said.

Coach for the Bombala U8s, Rollie Skellern said it was a huge day for the U8s at the Tathra Carnival.

“With three games ahead of them and the last round of the season, the U8s left nothing in their fuel tanks.

“Throughout the day there wasn't one player on the field that didn’t participate and make an impact.

“This week's Milo Player of the match goes to Liam Strickland, who saved his best game for last,” coach Skellern said.

Coach of the Bombala Junior Rugby U9s team, Drew Manning said the junior Heelers stepped up on Saturday and gave a truly spectacular performance for the last game of the year.

“It is just unbelievable how this little team has managed to improve each week and just get better and better.

“At the Tathra Mini Carnival on the weekend when matched against the top side Narooma they really showed the raw talent they have, staying strong throughout the game.

“Narooma have some big, fast, well drilled players and it was great to see the Blue Heelers make their tackles and make sure that Narooma didn’t walk all over them,” Manning said.                                 

Tag team coach Emma Sullivan said the Pink Heelers competed in their last game for 2016 against Eden.

“The girls were coming off a bye and their timings were a little out and many tags were missed. Eden took advantage of everything that came their way.

“The score line blew out in the end, but it wasn't a reflection of the effort the Bombala girls put in,” Sullivan said.
