Under 7 Norths took on Magpies white in only their second game for the season.
Despite our boys going down 7 tries to 4 they are starting to show some excellent skills on
the field. Our try scorers this week are Brock Crocker and Zane Elletson with Zane also
being our player of the week. Zane had an outstanding game in both defense and attack.
Zane your mum is washing your jersey from now on if you keep tackling like that. A special
mention also goes to Jarrod Moore and Oliver Volker both these boys had an excellent
game. Coach we can almost smell a victory!!!!!!!!!
Are what a difference a week makes in the game of
footy. The U14s have regrouped and are building
towards the finals. The boys and supporters may look
at the score board and say you are kidding but I kid
you not ,we are heading in the right direction
now. Some set attacking plays learned and enacted
on the paddock today against the Premiers will stand
us in good stead over the coming rounds. Our attack
is just what the doctor ordered to build some
confidence and try something a little different. The
boys did not toss the towel in this week and I'm sure
that they were well pleased at this aspect of the
game. I know a few of the cheer squad were
impressed at the turn around.
In a game where we were outscored 56 to 10 there
was plenty of positives and even a little claret spilled
for the Devils. Our defence will require some ongoing
focus and will be complimented by our ability to attack
and share the pill wide. A couple of meat pies and a
nice side line conversion from Con provided the
points. We were unlucky to have another 3 meat pies
ruled no try but what a difference they would have
made. A number of our newer boys grew an extra leg
today so watch out the Chooks we are coming to get
you next week
Thank you to dale (u/11) for coaching the 12's this week,
the guys really turned it on for him with a 52-6 win. A
massive turnaround from last week. I believe a huge
improvement in defence lead to this result. There was
no stand out players as they all stood up & played as a
team, hard to beat when this is the case :)
U10 Devils - After a great game last weekend
seeing the boys pulling together, spreading out
and talking to each other we had high hopes of
a replay for R4. Unfortunately the boys get
intimidated by Magpies before they even make
it to JRL grounds. The Devils this week forgot to
spread out and communicate and were slow off
the mark and some not so great decisions from
the ref doesn’t help any game with frustration
on and off the field. Hopefully they can
overcome their lack of confidence and bring
back the strong Devils power they have when
we come up against Wanderers next weekend.
Come on Devils we know you can do it! Best
player on field went to Bailey Collins and the
Encouragement Award goes to Sam Chandler.
U10 Norths - This team picked up their
game this week and seemed to work well
together. The boys worked hard in
defence and produced some good runs
but again lacked confidence when up
against Magpies calling defeat before they
play. Well done to Big Tommy Henigan
and Big Dylan this week showing Coach
Brett they have been listening at training
and using their mighty legs to gain ground
and bounce the opposition off . Good
game boys looking forward to the game
next weekend when we vs. Wests. Best
player on field goes to, new comer to the
game, Ethan Power and The
Encouragement Award goes to Big Tommy
Henigan.
What a difference a week makes.
The under 15’s trained the house
down this week and on Saturday it
showed. The boys heard the
message loud and clear, defence,
defence, defence. Half time had
the good guys up 4 – 0 and fully
focused on the second thirty. A try
a piece midway through the
second stanza and with three to
play we’re up by two until the
opposition worked their way over
under the posts. Kick successful,
black and white 12, red and white
8 with ninety seconds to go the
script writer must have been a
devoted Devil. Kick off, knock on,
scrum, tackle one, tackle two,
penalty, siren, tap, try, wobbly
conversion and flags up. With the
crowd on their feet the boys
finished deserved winners, 14 – 12.
Although we didn’t have a bad
player on the weekend special
mention must go all our forwards
who gave 100% and our
inspirational skipper Riley who led
from the front and crossed the
paint for all three meat pies. Keep
the effort up again this week and
I’m sure we’ll have more
celebrating to do in the weeks to
come. Go the Mighty Devil’s.

The U16 Devils have sunk to their second
loss of the season after going down 54 - 0
against Magpies.
The first half didn’t bring much joy to the
side, with the Magpies side using their
strength to their advantage to pile on a 280 lead.
Magpies continued their dominance in the
second half, heaping 26 points on the
Devils to run out 54 point victors.
Even though the score line was out of
reach, the boys continued to make every
effort for the line and their improvement in
their attack and defence was evident from
last week.
We are proud of the boy’s loyalty and how
they continue to hold heads high. We all
know how shattering it can be to have try
after try put on your team, however the
sportsmanship and determination shown
over the two weeks will pay off. When you
hear these “DEVILS ROAR” you know we
have done it.
We do not play this weekend so good luck
to all the devil teams and I will be back with
our report in a few weeks.
Thanks Mick & Teenie
Our mighty U6’s will be putting in a
report will be coming soon. It will
be exciting to hear about their
games.
Under 7 Devils are riding high on their undefeated status after this
week’s game!!! We came up against Magpies this week and won 1610! Our 3 Star players of the week were Caylah Baggow, Javen
Ramsamy & Jackson Parter. Well done Devils!!!!This week also saw
the handover of “The Clipboard” to our new Under 7 Devils Manager,
Veronica Parter. Veronica takes over the role from outgoing Manager
Kerry Blake. Congratulations on your continued success Under 7
Devils, keep up the fantastic effort!!!
UNDER 8 NORTHS
This game really saw our boys
struggling to find their usual
stride and as the game
progressed their frustration
started to show on the field.
Their teamwork and
enthusiasm, which usually
knows no bounds, seemed a
little lost and the boys seemed
to struggle to bring it together.
Nevertheless they fought a
valiant fight and certainly
didn't give the Magpies an easy
win.
They went down fighting with
the final score 28 to 12 with
tries from Jaxon and Levi and a
quick thinking try from Jaidyn.
Under 9’s Devils
Another win to our Under 9
Devils, despite a “messy
game”. There have been a lot
of major changes in the game
for these young fellas, so they
are struggling a little with the
basics. Mick will get them
back on track!!!!! Fantastic
defensive game from one of
our newest Devils, Liam Stitt,
well done Liam. As always,
Squirtle (Zac Springer) had a
great attacking game. The
boys definitely need to focus
on working as a team,
especially in their defensive
game. Well done boys. Dee
This week both our U11 teams played
Magpies... Missing a couple of players due
to representative football all our boys had
plenty of field time. Devils played first and
for the second week in a row spent most
of the game defending. No points on the
board again and I think the boys are
feeling a little deflated!!! This week we are
going to get some points on the board!!!
Some talented boys on this team so we
are expecting some major improvements
over the next few weeks!!
U11 Norths are playing excellent football.
A few new boys on this team, some of
which have never played football before!!
They are giving it everything!!
Well done to both our teams!! No score
again this week as it doesn't show how
hard these boys are working!! GO
NORTHS!!!
Round 4 saw the team well into the footy
season. With 3 boys on holidays and another 3
kids hit by different types of bugs, the team were
down 2 players. I would like to thank Kerry and
Paul for their contribution of the under 7 kids, of
course inclusive of Mrs Veronica Parter :).. Also a
special thank you to Noely Crocker, the under 7's
coach for his coaching poweress, Marcus
Cochrane for his leaguesafing expertise and being
their when needed, and to all the parents who
helped out!! Thank you, thank you, thank
you!! Rory Blake our fill in, scored the only try for
the team, well done Rory!! But our player of the
match, because of his awesome runs and
awesome defence, voted by the majority, is Balin
Burnett!! Well done Balin, your an awesome
asset to the team, it is well deserved. Final score
- 4 Norths Devils, 26 to Magpies. Well done team
and the fill ins!! Can't wait for this week :)
U13 were defeated 38-8 in a hard fought game on the weekend. After drawing against Magpies in last year’s grand
final the boys were keen to show they were the stronger side and even though they went down Coach Richie is
happy to see that the hard work they all put in at training is paying off. Tries were scored by Jack Anderson &
Tommy Irelandes.
Norths U9’s boys had a great game against Maggies White and worked so well as a team spreading out
and passing we won 30 – 0 was a fantastic job done by the boys.
