The Burdekin Touch Association's Under 14 competition wrapped up last week with four grand finals showcasing the region's emerging talent.
The A-grade decider between BAYWatch and Silly Soft Serves produced an entertaining contest, with both teams displaying strong attacking play and determined defence.
BAYWatch proved too quick across the park, running in eight tries to secure an 8-2 victory and claim the premiership. Adea, Elias and Fantasia each crossed for two tries.
The B-grade grand final saw Chicken Burgers defeat Red Dogs B 6-3 thanks to Oliver and Kaesy doubles, while BAYWatch Cowboys edged out Rockies 1-0 in a hard-fought C-grade final.
Logan Pickup scored twice as Red Dogs A completed the grand final action with a convincing 6-2 win over BAYWatch Broncos in the D-grade decider.
