Bulldogs A Grade Men undefeated

THE Beerwah Bulldogs A Grade Men dominated against the Caboolture Snakes at Bob Day Oval on May 6 in a thumping 36-12 victory.

The Bulldogs were rarely troubled as they raced to a 30-0 halftime lead in what coach Brett Hill said was a huge effort given the team’s injury toll.

“We had a few hamstring injuries, which will take a few weeks to heal, but the boys played really well, the game really went our way in the first half but not so much in the second half,” he said.

Brett praised the work of a number of players including Under 18s player Jackson Kite, who came straight from a game to play in the A Grade side.

“Nic Jennings also played his first game in fullback and he played really well filling in the position and Daniel Kidd had a lot of heavy carries in the forwards when we had a few blokes off the field,” he said.

“Jackson Kite is only 18 but he’s played a few games for us this season and he is going really well, I’ve been giving him a run to see how he goes, and he’s been terrific.”

Open, but for the upcoming Sydney Open, as well as helping the Tongan Taekwondo team train for the World Open.

“At the Sydney Open we will just have our elite team going down with about eight students going down, and it’ll be on in the first weekend of June,” he said.

“The Tongan team will be training with us for a week before they leave for Azerbaijan for the World Open at the end of the month, we’ve got a few people in our team who are a similar size to them.

“It’s a great opportunity for them to get some exposure and to fight with different levelled sparring partners, because they don’t have the biggest population in Tonga.”

Cameron also said despite the slow start to the year for the San Training team, he is seeing progress in their competitive development.

“We didn’t have the best start to the year, but you can see the students are advancing over time and they are getting a lot better in fighting really high-level opponents,” he said.
