Maroochydore teen, Cameron Stevenson, was solid in his return from state U18 duties, while Jarrod Gale and halfback Kane Tyson were among the side’s best.
Brett Maloney
“Good result for the effort they put in.”
“We saw it as an all or nothing type game. I feel we have a slender chance of playing finals but we certainly went into the game with that in our mind.”.
“It was a really even contribution. Most of the guys would have won their position on the day.”
“It’s a big challenge now to back it up against Sandgate, who have been really good this year, so it’s going to be another difficult assignment.”
The seniors are sitting in eighth position on the Allied Pickford's Cup Ladder
