Finals Week 1 -
home Team
Sea Eagles
away Team
Rabbitohs
Venue: HE Laybutt Field, Sydney
It’s a been a great season so far for Manly’s Under 17s who finished sixth on the ladder with five wins and three losses.
One of those victories was against Sunday’s opponent the Rabbitohs who we defeated 24-12 in Round 5 at Redfern.
The Bunnies finished seventh on the ladder, also with five wins and three losses, and just six points behind the Sea Eagles on for and against.
Coached by Jordan Meredith the Sea Eagles team is very well balanced with a strong pack of forwards, a very talented spine, and plenty of speed out wide.
Captain Sifa Oldfield has led by example week in week out and finished the regular season with five tries, the highest try tally for any forward in the competition.
Expect another tight contest against the Rabbitohs who skipped out to an 8-0 lead before being run down late in the game when these teams met each other at the start of March.
If you can get to Blacktown on Sunday, please do. The team would love to have your support.
