MOUNT MORGAN WINS SCHOOLS GRAND FINAL
The sun was on a shallow angle. The kind of angle that hits you straight in the eyes regardless of where you are standing. Bailey went forward to discuss whether the Mount would experience the harsh of the afternoon sun. Bailey won the coin toss and elected to receive the ball and have the Yeppoon Rams running straight into the setting sun.

The kick off saw a back and forth of mutual contest between the two sides. Our enforcers – Bailey Caitlin, Jarhlym Dans, Ashton Dans, Dylan Stewart, Zephyr Jacbonson, Layne Gibson, Cameron Long and Nicholas Van Dreumel– were working hard and making huge hit-ups to tire the defence of the Yeppoon Rams. The quick and nimble back line – Kye-Juan Leisha, Jordan Brown, Lachlan Mackay, Tyson Ireland, Ernie Tull, Cody Brown, Rylee Wanchap and Blake Gardner – worked hard trying to use their speed and agility to outsmart the pressing defence of the opposing side. This mutual contest early on saw tries scored by both teams keeping the contest level. During the half time break the boys discussed working harder and using their options on the field to give them the advantage.

They were running into the sun, but it looked like they were wearing sunglasses as they were not phased in the slightest. Mount Morgan worked hard trying to better every effort they made showing true determination and grit as the clock counted down towards game over. The boys worked hard for each other and showed true sportsmanship and humility with their interactions with the Yeppoon Rams. When the final whistle was blown, our champion team arose! With a 28-18 score line, the effort put in by the opens team was extraordinary. Shout outs – Lachlan Jones: For his ongoing support of all aspects of the football team, Tanika McClintock for taking fantastic photos highlighting the efforts of the team during the Grand Final, Louise Thurecht for keeping track of all on fields calls, tries and penalties, and Laicey Gibson the number one kicking T and water girl, thank you for helping us out each week! Man of The Match: The player who was selected is no mystery. Lachlan Mackay showed determination and grit. He worked hard supporting his team mates and showed compassion towards the opposing side. With four tries to his name Lachlan Mackay truly deserves Man of the Match for the Grand Final. Thank you so much for all the support and effort put in by the families behind the players! Your efforts have not gone unnoticed.

Mount Morgan Rodeo Association Inc members were extremely pleased with the Cent Sale held on 29 September. The venue had to change due to COVID requirements, but despite this, the association raised about $2500 from the event.
