Four Whitsunday Sea Eagles teams travelled to Harrup Park on Saturday to represent in the Preliminary Finals with the opportunity to make the Grand Final.
Sea Eagles Senior Men saw the Mackay City Hawks get the jump and come out hard. Sea Eagles came back with defence working hard to limit Hawks to a single goal in the second half. Momentum was in Sea Eagles favour seeing their share of the footy however unable to convert going forward the 31 – 49 loss saw an end to their season.
Sea Eagles Under 17s who took on the Swarks were determined to bounce back after last week’s loss. Hungry for the footy Sea Eagles were able to hit the scoreboard early through great goals from Adam Singleton and Bailey Wishart. Foxx LaMonica continued his late season form whilst Aniel Walsh worked tirelessly in the ruck all day and provided excellent defensive pressure. Sea Eagles kept Swarks under control for the day winning 49 – 29 and setting up a Grand Final showdown with the undefeated Saints.
It was a tough ask for Sea Eagles Under 14s taking on minor premiers Moranbah Bulldogs who were always going to come out hard. Sea Eagles were unable to get on top losing 14 – 89 in a courageous effort.
Second week running the Sea Eagles Under 12s had another close shave winning the Preliminary Final against the Swarks. There were stories of individual greatness and whole-team efforts with Sea Eagles combining to create opportunities. Sea Eagles were behind in the dying minutes before a goal after the siren saw Sea Eagles come home winners 27 – 24 to earn their place in the Grand Final. Sea Eagles run into the Grand Final this week against Moranbah Bulldogs with some great momentum under their belts.
This Saturday, September 10, Sea Eagles Under 12s and Under 17s contest their Grand Finals at Harrup Park. Under 12s 8am, Under 17s 11:10am.
