The excitement that built to the Grand Final was nothing short of extraordinary for Whitsunday Sea Eagles Under 12s and Under 17s teams.
Both sides had the entire club behind them for their Saturday AFL Grand Final battles at Harrup Park.
Under 12 Sea Eagles were first up for the day, entering like warriors into the Grand Final battle against the unbeaten Moranbah Bulldogs.
Confirming their status as the dominating team of the season Moranbah put in a near flawless display of footy. In the face of such a formidable opponent the Sea Eagles did themselves proud with a show of determination which ended in a 6–53 loss.
Fletcher Schumski led the Sea Eagles backline, saving goal after goal, whilst Connor Marks snagged the Sea Eagles only goal for the Final.
Sea Eagles Under 17s came out to battle it out with the undefeated North Mackay Saints in their Grand Final with the siren sounding a 26–64 loss.
Sea Eagles put in a courageous effort against the polished North Mackay side but were unable to penetrate their strong defence enough to change the result.
Taking on a Club showing to be a powerhouse in the AFL Mackay competition in both Under 17s and Senior Men this year the Sea Eagles are keen for the match up with the Saints again next season.
Saturday, September 17, Sea Eagles will celebrate Presentation Day for their 2022 season.
Whitsunday Sea Eagles in conjunction with Sherwood AFL Club Old Boys will also be giving the new perpetual Club award of the Cody Gibbs Memorial trophy to a player displaying attributes of resilience, courage, respect, and selflessness both on and off the field.
