Jack 9's Win Grand Final 4-2

jack 9s triumphed over the skainsies 4-2 in a close game as predicited. jack 9s hit the ground running scoring on the second play of the game when darren morris jnr sprinted 30 metres to get the scoring under way, then 2 minutes later jack 9s were in again when season MVP scott piper scored to put jack 9's 2-0 up early, that try by scott ensured that he scored atleast 1 try in every game this year, an exceptional effort that im sure has never been matched. Skainsies hit back 5 minutes later with there first try to hayden spencer, a quiet period in the game 10 minutes seen the team go back and forth before MOM mark astill scored to put jack9s up 3-1 before skainsies hit straight back with their second try to michael dillion, then drama struck when chris mauler was sensationally sin binned for back chat when it was infact a spectator on the side line who was disgruntled with a controversial decision, one of many by one certain referee who seemed to be trying to keep the skainsies in the game. But nothing was to stop jack 9s on this night as mark astill bagged his second try with 3 minutes to seal the game for jack 9s 4-2.
A big congratulations to all the boys for their efforts this season, and hopefully the boys will run around again next year.

In a match up no one expected Jack 9's will face The Skainsies in the grand final. Boasting a season series record of 2 wins and a draw verse the Skainsies and on the back of a week off Jack nines will enter this game as hot favourites.
Skainsies have had to qualify the hard way winning 2 elimination final by 1 point, first against the typhoons 7-6 then the upset of the finals defeating red bulls 5-4 in a heated encounter.

Jack 9's qualified for the grand final with a win over red bulls 9-4 2 weeks ago and have had the luxury of a week off.

The last time these 2 teams met, it was a jack 9's massacre defeating them 11-2, however the previous 2 clashes have been much closer with a 3 all draw and jack 9's win 4-2.

with only 1 loss all season jack 9's will be heavy favourites enetering the contest but season form means nothing heading into this clash, and jack 9's will have to be switched on if they are to continue this amazing season.
with the return of Aaron Willis jack 9's will have that spark out of the dummy half area, scott piper will look to continue his amazing run bagging 36 tries this season and is the key man for jack 9's. other players to look out for are ball playing wiz mark astill who had a field day in the semi final bagging 3 tries and setting up several others, and darren morris jnr, the self proclaimed fastest man alive has been in scintilating form the last 5 weeks bagging tries in every game.
If form is anything to go by jack 9's will win this contest but we all know thats not always the case, and we expect a tough game, but with class all across the field and too many strike weapons its hard to see an upset but you never know in this crazy world.

Prediction Jack 9's to win 5-2

Where in the GF

In the major semi final Jack 9's played Red Bulls the only team to beat them in thg in the regular season, so Jack 9's where fired up for this one. We got of to a good start with Curt scoring in the corner. That was followed by a great intercept by Yappa. Then Jack 9's scored again through Stepy after a pass from The Sensation. Red Bulls then got a try before the game went end to end before Nick through a dummy and sliced through to make the score 4-1. Red bulls then bounced back scoring again before Morris crossed for 1 and Stepy got his second. Red bulls then scored before Nick through another dummy and sliced through again, making the score 7-3. Stepy then got his third followed by Yapp getting his second. Red Bulls then got a late try to make it 9-4 showing that they are Grand final matrerial.

See you in two weeks when we dominate whoever we have to play.

Jack 9's #1

In the last game of regular season Jack 9's sent a msg to the other teams by downing number 3 seed Typhoons 9-1. The standout where Mark Astill, Darren Morris, Aaron Willis all getting Doubles. Captain grumpy (The Sensation) got 1 as well as Stepy and Nick Frail both got 1 each.

Jack 9's didn't really play there best and where still able to demolish a top team sending a clear msg that they are indeed the team to beat. Overall this season has been a great year but taking the minor premiership is only the first step. We will need to step it up in the finals to make sure you we take out the comp.

Finally some season tally's Caveman And Stepy where the only to players to play all 15 games showing true commitment, Stepy especialy after playing a week after being hit by a car to keep his streak alive. Leading try scoriers where Stepy who finished with 33 then darren morris with 16 then Mark Astill with 15.

Good luck boys and go get em

Jack 9's bounce back but in scrappy performance

In what on paper looked like another devestating display, Jack 9's bounced back from there only defeat of the season to thrash dictation 12-1. but the scoreline was not a true indication of the form we showed with alot of dropped ball and side to side plays. Scott "stepy" Piper was up to his old tricks bagging 4 tries. Aaron willis got 2 along with Darren Morris jnr.
Next week poses a big task up against in form typhoons, and a much improved effort is needed if we are to bag the points.

SHOCK

The Jack 9's have suffered there first loss of the season going down 5-4 to Redbulls.

The game started of like most others with Jack 9's getting of to a great start with Stepy putting Morris over for a early try before scoring one himself. Redbulls then scored a try before Stepy replyed with his second to send the score to 3-1. This is when Jack 9's just switch off and let Redbulls come back and tie the game. This is when Stepy got his 3rd for the game but it was not enough Jack 9's defence was just not up to its usual standard and the Redbulls manage to late tries to steal the match.

We play Dictation next week and we will have to control the ball alot better and get there defence back on track if we dont want another lost to our record.

Undefeated season still in grasp

Despite a less than impressive performance, Jack 9's won there 10 straight game in defeating Price Attack 3-2 thanks to last minute heroics from Scott "stepy" Piper. with the game destined for a draw, scott capitalised on a quick dump, from the sensation and split 2 defenders to run the length of the field, but being dummy half scott could not score the try and had to wait for the support to arrive, and it did so in the form of craig "caveman" piper scoring his second try of the game to seal the victory for the jack 9's.
With only 3 games left Jack 9's are closing in on finishing the season undefeated, we will need to improve though as we play teams 2 (red bulls) and 3 (typhoons) in the next 3 weeks.
