Club is proud of prodigies
By Kirra Livingstone
THE strength and depth of the Beerwah Bulldogs is on display both at home and nationally with a number of stars set to shine in the NRL and NRLW next year.
Alongside the club’s first NRL player – Canterbury Bulldogs co-captain, Reed Mahoney – Mitch Jennings, Jackson Kite and the club’s second NRLW player are set to run out in the national competitions.
Jennings, who signed with the Melbourne Storm last year, has re-signed this year and will continue to train with the likes of Cameron Munster and Xavier Coates.
There has also been interest in Beerwah Bulldogs A Grade player, Jackson Kite, who debuted for the team last year at 18 years old.
Kite is currently is currently playing in the QCup for the Sunshine Coast Falcons and if released, will play for Beerwah this year.
The NRLW is also showing keen interest in Beerwah’s female talent.
It is believed that one young unnamed dynamo is set to sign with an NRLW club.
“She’s young but she plays like she’s a veteran, I’ve never seen a young girl with so much skill,” Beerwah Bulldogs president, Stephen Hammill, said.
As well as these huge achievements for the Beerwah Bulldogs club, President Hammill said this season is gearing up to be a big one, especially coming off the club’s first Sunshine Coast A Grade Grand Final win.
“There’s been a few movements around the place, we are starting to get the young players noticed in the club now, which is really good,” he said.
“We have a few new members on our committee, we have a new junior vice president, Dale Richter, and new secretary, Ash Hoskin, but everyone else on the committee has stayed the same.
“We’re back on the grind starting as of this Thursday, the fields are looking good, and both scoreboards are finally up, we are just getting everything ready.”
