Rugby League Coaching Manuals

U11 Peak Downs coach Patrick Clancy said the boys had trained consistently and tirelessly for the season.

"The boys are probably one of the smaller sized teams on the Highlands, but make up for it with heart, determination, dedication and teamwork," Clancy said.

"I am confident come game day they will give 110 per cent and leave no fuel in the tank, which should make for a very exciting game."

Tigers coach Craig Firth said the boys had stood tall this season, winning some tough games and displaying admiral sportsmanship and courage.

"We have a healthy respect for our opponents, the Pirates, and wish them all the best," he said.

In the U13 grand final, the Emerald Tigers will come up against the Blackwater Crushers.

Blackwater U13 coach Mal Williams said his side was looking forward to a great match against the Emerald Tigers.

"We have one player out with an injury, but apart from that, all are on deck," Williams said.

He said the team had benefited from having a break last weekend, after defeating Middlemount in the major semi-final the week prior.

Tigers coach Andy Devine said the boys were looking forward to a close game to finish off the season.

"All players have worked hard to improve their game, in whatever position they were asked to play," Devine said.

"While the grand final is motivation in itself, the challenge of coming up against a good side like Blackwater is what football is all about.

The Emerald Tigers will clash with Brothers in the U15 grand final.

Tigers coach Joel Whaitiri said his side was looking good for this weekend's grand final clash.

"Brothers is a very good side and it will be a tough match," he said.

The two sides had clashed twice during the season, with Brothers coming out on top both times.

Brothers coach Bruce Pratt said they had a full side for the grand final.

"You never know if you're up to the task, but we've only lost two games all season," he said.

Another tough match is expected when Dysart takes on the Tigers in the U17 grand final.

Dysart Junior Rugby League Club secretary Jackie Kalinowsky said the grand final would come down to defence and the will to win.

"When we last played the Tigers, we won 34-32, so it's going to be a tough encounter," she said.

Tigers coach Joe Taylor said Dysart defeated them in the first final, so they were a big side with good defence.

"Both teams are pretty even in that department, so it should be an exciting game and a great spectacle to watch," Taylor said.
