The Burdekin Under 14 Touch Football season wrapped up in style last Wednesday with the staging of its Grand Finals, showcasing the skill of local junior players.
“The competitive nature of these Juniors was on display as they battled for championship honours,” said Burdekin Touch Technical Director, Bruce Johnson.
“Games throughout the season were played in good spirit with plenty of skill displayed. It was great to see how much each player improved throughout the season.”
In a one-sided A Grade final, Baywatch proved too good for the Mustangs, running away with a commanding 14–2 victory. Hank Williams led the charge with an impressive five touchdowns.
The B Grade contest was much tighter, with Babes overcoming Red Robins 5–3 in a hard-fought clash.
Competition co-ordinator Bob Clerke also announced the individual award winners for the season.
For Baywatch, Lorna Rattle was named Best Player, with Dakkie Daniels taking out Most Improved. Babes’ top honours went to Joan Anthony (Best Player) and Tahnay Cooktown (Most Improved).
Mustangs’ Best Player was Bri Robertson, while Abbey Becke and Lyla Land shared the Most Improved award.
Red Robins recognised both Digby Brown and Stella Borellini as joint Best Players, with Mebena Russo named Most Improved.
Bruce Johnson extended his thanks to all referees, coaches, and parents for their efforts across the season.
