MID SEASON JUNIOR GRAND FINALS SUCCESS

The 2010 Open Juniors Mid Season grand finals were played last Sunday at Redlands Rugby Union. With six teams from Sunnybank (3), Redcliffe, Logan and Gold Coasts, Coomera Crushers all vying for premierships, there was some hard hitting and expansive running played.

Div 1 U18 saw Sunnybank take on the mighty Coomera Crushers in a well contested and hard fought match that saw Coomera leading 5 - 0 at half time and Sunnybank coming back in the 2nd half to take the lead to 14 - 5. Some big hits, exhausting defence left Sunnybank the winners at full time. Div 2 U17 pitted Logan against Sunnybank. Logan's forwards put in the hard work and successfully secured any loose ball; spinning wide to their backs who ran in to score on several occasions. Logan celebrated their first premiership in 18 years in the Brisbane competition with a 45 - 5 victory. Div 3 U17 saw a torrid battle between last years Premiers Redcliffe and Sunnybanks U16s. The first half had both teams threatening on several occasions with neither team putting any authority on the match. In the second half Redcliffes backs moved the ball and broke Sunnybanks defensive line to score. Final score 23 - 16.
