JUNIOR LEAGUE

13th May 2025

On Saturday Guyra hosted the Uralla Tigers who have joined the Group 19 competition.
The Under 6s all turned up in the cold windy conditions still showing eagerness to get on the footy field. Violet Atkin used her pace to run down the sideline to the try line. Connor Hoy is getting more confident on the field and is running the ball well. This team is fun to watch.
Guyra’s Under 9s had a high scoring game of football. Nico Hutton played a great game of football. Tremane Patterson’s defensive skills are impressive, and he commits to every tackle. All the under 9s certainly enjoy their footy and play well as a team.
The Under 11s came up against a strong Uralla team. This team has some great talent in the team, and everyone shows great eagerness on the field.
The Senior League Tag girls were back this week playing some awesome attacking football. Both in the middle and on the edges the girls took to the line with speed and commitment. Shelby Heagney linked up with Gwen Landsborough in the middle and scored a great try under the posts. Chloe Wilson was reliable in defence and stopped many tries down the sideline. This was a great game to watch, and the girls got the win.
The first match of the day was the Under 14s. This team with minimum numbers should be commended on how they give it their all on the footy field. Guyra were first to score and full of confidence in the first half. Beau Wilson put in a big effort in attack running the ball strong and even putting in a couple of kicks in play. Every player committed for the full game and do the Guyra club proud. The end score really does not reflect the effort put in. With a full side this team will be competitive in the Under 14s competition.
The last game of the day was the Under 16s. Guyra let Uralla know in the first 15 minutes of the game that they are going to be strong opposition this year. With a penalty to Uralla in the first set of six this got the Guyra boys pumped up and on the front foot. Hugo Brazier was strong all game hitting the line and carrying defenders on his back making great meters up the field. This set up Guyra attacking game keeping pressure on Uralla for the full 70 minutes. This team is coming together nicely and the work well as a team and play a great style of football. Each player brings something to the team. Guyra came away with a great win setting them up for the rest of the season.  
Thank you to all our volunteers on the day be it in the canteen, running water, coaching, scoring, taking photos the day cannot run without you all. This weekend the Guyra Junior Super Spuds travel to Tingha.
