Caboolture (Grey) 5-15 Norths (White)
The rugby fixtures could not have been organised better as our game on Saturday was away a Caboolture, already on the way to our camping destination in Noosa.

They don’t breed ‘em very big in Caboolture and so we brushed them aside in easily our best display yet. What was most pleasing was we only conceded the one try, testament to our organised defence and brave work by Luke and more cerebral work by Jack.

It has been a hard slog to get the boys to understand that even if they are not directly involved in the defence of their lines, by staying out on the wing, they are fulfilling a vital role. Finally, the training on the passing and finding space is beginning to pay off. The big target for the remainder of the season is to revenge our shocking defeat by (the cheating) Brothers a few weeks ago.

A 4-1 try score line would have been more pleasing, but in the last minute, old habits led to fighting over our own ball, which in turn led to a turn over. Otherwise, it was great to watch and I was really proud of them. So now, so far this season we have won 4, drawn 3 and lost 1. Next week, we play at QLD Rugby HQ at Ballymore.
