Beerwah Bulldogs Reserve and A Grade teams will play grand final
THE A Grade Beerwah Bulldogs team has secured a spot into the grand final, after defeating the Noosa Pirates 16-14 on September 7. This is the team’s third consecutive grand final, winning in 2023 against the Kawana Dolphins, and losing to the Maroochydore Swans the year prior.
Beerwah Bulldogs club president, Ref Hammill, said he was extremely proud of the team, for their consistency over the last few years. “When a coach comes up to you and says not to panic and that teams don’t win in the first round but the second, it shows their confidence in the team,” he said.
“Our team is an enthusiasm driven team – so when our crowd is on the hill screaming off their heads, the boys seem to lift .” To go back to back for the A Grade Men, is something Beerwah has never achieved before and I think they can go all the way again.”
Unfortunately for the U19s Beerwah Bulldogs, they lost against the minor premiers, the Caboolture Snakes 34-16. Ref said the U19s never gave up against the Snakes, fighting until the end. “They were really unlucky, they were in it until the end, and then the Snakes got two more tries to secure their lead,” he said. “U19s to me can be very proud of themselves, it’s the first year for the U19s to make it to a preliminary final. “We have had five U19s players step up into the A Grade team this year, so they are showing their potential as evolving players.”
To add to the team’s success, the Bulldogs Reserve Grade team will play the Caloundra Sharks at 1:50pm at the Sunshine Coast Stadium on September 15. The A Grade Men will play the Coolum Colts at 3:30pm at the stadium, straight after the Reserves.
