Airlie Beach offered perfect conditions for AFL last weekend as the Sea Eagles hosted the Mackay City Hawks and Sarina, resulting in an exciting day of football.
Senior Men’s Team: The Sea Eagles Senior Men secured their first home win of the season, defeating the Mackay City Hawks 78–33. The match was closely contested in the first half, but a strong second half from the Sea Eagles saw them pull away and overrun the Hawks.
Senior Women’s Team: The Sea Eagles Senior Women faced a bigger and stronger Hawks team. Despite their hard efforts, they struggled to get scores on the board and lost 17–30.
Under 17s Team: The Sea Eagles Under 17s looked forward to playing at home against the Hawks and delivered an outstanding performance, kicking one of their highest scores of the season and securing a comfortable win.
Under 12s Team: The Sea Eagles Under 12s posted another convincing win, 65–15, against the Sarina Demons. After a strong start by the opposition, the team found their rhythm. Jack Smith marked his 50th game, while Oscar Trewin had a strong game, contributing 2 goals.
