U11: The boys took to the field knowing a win would put them into the Grand Final and a loss would end their season. Gatton’s forwards steamrolled the smaller Dalby pack and the brilliant backs ran away with the game.

U13: Great team effort and a close game to finish off the season and without a full side the boys can hold their heads high. Thanks to the Under 12 boys Wal, Hayden, Mitch, Ryley and Josh for stepping in to help out.

Tries to Ben Ryan, Joel Dionysius (2) and Jack Bridge. Conversion was made by Aiden Schmidt. Final score went to Dalby, 24-22.

U14: Dalby came out firing and unfortunately didn’t match the intensity that they showed. Gatton must show more commitment in defence right across the paddock if they are to be a side to upset the other teams going into the finals.

The final score had Dalby win the match, 26-22. Dalby’s win knocked out Gatton from third place and finished the season in a fourth place tie with Highfields and a possibility of a playoff mid-week with the winner playing in the semis on Saturday.
