WHITSUNDAY Sea Eagles hosted Bakers Creek and Moranbah at home, on Saturday, for a fun, family day event, which also saw the Sea Eagles on the winners list.
Sea Eagles Senior Men’s side were back on top, overcoming Bakers Creek at home 80 – 33.
In what was a high pressure and scrappy game at times, the Sea Eagles’ experience and class got them over the line.
Hudson McGregor was strong in the ruck, whilst Angus Blackwood and Brayden Wall gave Sea Eagles targets and opportunities up forward.
Sea Eagles Senior Women saw a slow start, trailing Bakers Creek by a couple of goals from the get go and remaining slightly behind for the game, going down 38 – 53.
After a close loss last week, Sea Eagles Under 17s were keen to put on a show at home and did just that, winning 79 – 19 (adj) against Bakers Creek.
A strong start by the Sea Eagles put early pressure on the Tigers and, by the end of the first half, Sea Eagles were completely in control with a good even spread of contributors.
A strong start was important to Sea Eagles Under 14s, after a tough loss last week, and that came to fruition with a convincing 93 – 33 (adj) win over Bakers Creek.
It was great to see players giving different roles a go without intensity dropping off.
Sea Eagles Under 12s faced a full strength Moranbah side for what was a tense and evenly matched encounter, eventually running out winners in a close final term 35 – 28.
This Saturday, June 24, sees all five Whitsunday Sea Eagles teams hit the road, taking on Eastern Swans at Rogers Oval, with Juniors from 9.15am and Seniors from 1.50pm.
