South Burnett Rugby League is ecstatic about the results of their two U13s Eagles sides which travelled to Toowoomba at the weekend to compete in the Walker Weekend Challenge.<\/p>\n

The annual event is hosted by the Toowoomba Valleys JRL club.<\/p>\n

The South Burnett Under 13 girls – competing together for the first time as a team – played extremely well, winning their three round games and keeping all teams scoreless against them until the Grand Final.<\/p>\n

The girls were solid in attack and their teamwork was cohesive for a newly formed side.<\/strong><\/p>\n

On Saturday, they defeated Souths 44-0, Brothers \/ Newtown 12-0 and Highfields 16-0.<\/p>\n

Backing up on Sunday, they defeated Gatton in the semi-final, 12-0.<\/p>\n

The South Burnett girls waltzed into the Grand Final against Valleys who were also playing with plenty of confidence.<\/p>\n

The girls played their hearts out and with great sportsmanship in the grand final, competed to the final whistle, suffering their first and only loss for the weekend, finishing 12-4 but Division 1 runners-up!<\/p>\n

Coach Kyal Dennis said he was very happy with the energy the girls had shown in their games and was super impressed by their teamwork and their sportsmanship.<\/p>\n

Jo-Kayla Hopkins was awarded Best Back of the carnival and was named number 6 in the All Dream Team.<\/p>\n

While the girls were dominating in their competition, the Under 13 boys were also enjoying success, racking up impressive scores against their opposition sides.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This next generation of male Eagles, coached by Nathan Prain, showed great spirit and teamwork to be very competitive:<\/p>\n

They made the Grand Final racking up wins along the way against Gatton 12-4; Highfields Gold 12-4; Souths Black 48-0 and Roma 8-4.<\/p>\n

The boys then won a spirited semi-final against Dalby 16-4.<\/p>\n

The Grand Final was a tight affair with the South Burnett Eagles winning the game 4-0 against home side Valleys.<\/p>\n

Lakiri Renouf was named Best Back of the carnival. He was also named in the All Dream Team, alongside Lockyer Sandow and Mikey Smallwood.<\/p>\n

The South Burnett Rugby League are very proud of the efforts of their teams and the sportsmanship shown.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Under 13 Eagles girls will be competing in the Toowoomba Junior Rugby League competition.<\/p>\n

The boys will be playing for their club teams in the South Burnett Rugby League Under 14s competition.<\/p>\n
