Sea Eagles Shine At Home

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.
This week, the Whitsunday Sea Eagles hit the road to take on the North Mackay Saints in Mackay. Juniors will start at 9:15 am, followed by Seniors at 1:50 pm. Come along and support the teams for what promises to be another exciting round of matches.
