U19s Snakes slide into GF
The minor premiership winning team, the Caboolture Snakes U19s, has secured a spot in the 2024 grand final!
The Snakes beat the Beerwah Bulldogs 34-16 last weekend (September 7), with Caboolture interchange Casino Williams scoring a double for his team.
It was a high scoring game for the Snakes, scoring seven tries to Beerwah’s three.
Senior club president, Natasha Field, said she was very happy with the team’s eff orts to make it to the grand final in just the second year of the U19s competition.
“We are extremely proud of the boys and their hard work they have put in this season,” she said.
“Their skill and determination has been demonstrated throughout and we are excited for them.”
She added that in order for the U19s to win the grand final, they would need to play this game like any other.
“They need to continue to focus on their style of football and treat this like any other game they have needed to win throughout the season,” Natasha said.
“They have shown that they can dig deep and continuing that momentum will put them in a good position to be successful.
“Their coaches and staff will get them prepared for this Sunday.”
Although the U19s competition is new to the Sunshine Coast Gympie Rugby League association, the Snakes have made it to several U18s grand finals.
“There are quite a few dates Caboolture has been successful in being involved in the GF,” Natasha said.
“Last time they won it as an U18s team was 2017.”
The U19s Snakes will play the Caloundra Sharks at the Sunshine Coast Stadium on September 15 at 10:30am.
