e had our grand finale for the girls under 13.5’s Sunday just gone and whilst we didn’t walk away with a win the girl played incredibly. To have 2 under 13.5’s teams placing 2nd & 3rd on the ladder is an amazing feat. The Bribie White girls under 13.5’s team placed second on the ladder for 2020 with 8 wins & 2 losses for the season Coached by an amazing young
local woman McKenzie Brady who is just 19yrs old. What was incredible about this team was the girls were aged 11-14yrs and 6 out of the 16 girls had never played AFL before. Having a young local woman dedicate her free time to coaching these girls has been an incredible honour for a parent to watch. Images Bribie white GF from left to right Emmerson, Chloe, Jazmine,

LOCAL BOYS REAP REWARDS.
Midway through 2020, the Bribie Island Junior Rugby League voted not to participate in the years Sunshine Coast League due to the COVID-19 restrictions that had been put in place. Two of the Clubs Under 16 Players, like most other 16year old's on the Island, wanted to get on the footy fields for their last year as Junior Players. So, Michael (Junior) Wilson and Gizzy Brooks took a chance on getting a start in the Redcliffe Dolphins Team. They made the trip from Bribie to Redcliffe every Tuesday and Thursday night for training, and then on Sundays to the Greater Brisbane Region for their weekly game. They continued to do this for the past 4 months. Their efforts were rewarded when the Redcliffe Dolphins U16 Division 2 Team played Wests-Mitchelton in the Grand Final on Sunday the 11th of October. Redcliffe ran out winners 48-0, with both boys having strong games in the Teams win.

The Bribie Bulldogs U10.5s grew from a newly formed team (with members as young as 7 who had never played AFL before) to a team of 18 players that played cohesively, supported each other and had the very best time doing so. This team grew from a mere few children at the start of the season driven by Coach Tim & Manager Sarah and the Bribie Bulldog community. It was so amazing to see so many children still being able to play sport during the hard times of covid restrictions. 10.5’s on field photo Left to right- Oakleigh DoolanDavies, Hamish O’Brien, Mason Statnickas, Oscar Stokje, Haidan Frey, Henry Fawcett, Matilda
