Sam Colgate was on fire scoring 4 tries, with his last a runaway from the opposition half with 20 seconds left on the clock. He also converted 3 goals. Dylan Burns had a blinder of a game with 2 tries, 1 goal conversion and a strong attack and defence game, though the biggest cheers of the day came when hard running forward Max Vukelic converted the last goal for the game and was near squashed by his ecstatic team mates. Our best players were Corey Kelly, Jack Lonesborough, Dylan Burns, Max Vukelic and Sam Colgate.

U15s Culburra vs Nowra: Culburra made the short away trip to Bomaderry this week on a wild windy Saturday. With the season all but over for the Swamp Rats they played with grit and determination. It would be Kruize Herewini’s first game starting left centre, scored the opening try for Culburra. Jayden Brody crossed not long after. Cameron Haydock also adding to his tally before the half time break.

Bomaderry crossed for their only try of the match early in the second half and were unable to add the extras. Prop forward Khody Nicholson took control of the game and scored his first try for the season. Then team favourite Zac Grossetti scored out wide from some magic lead up work from Jarrad Maynard who unselfishly threw the perfect pass to Grossetti when he could of easily scored himself.

A final try to Keeda Meehan who was in blinding form for the Dolphins saw the game shut out. It may not have been one of the team’s better games but the Dolphins never sat die attitude was again very evident. Tries: Keeda Meehan, Zac Grossetti, Jayden Brody, Kruise Herewini, Cameron Haydock & Khody Nicholson.  Goals: Kaleb Stewart 5/6.
