In this week's Bundaberg Now weekend sports report, we look at results in hockey, AFL and Junior Rugby League.
It was the Sam Aitkenhead solo show as he struck all three goals to clinch a 3-0 victory for Waves Cities over All Blacks in the Bundaberg Hockey Under-16 duel at Hinkler Park on Saturday.
Club-mate Lachlan McLennan went one better, bagging four to star in a 6-0 result for their men’s side against Raiders/Rovers.
There were two other hat-tricks recorded for the round, with Kalen Wilke and Matilda Rasmussen also having field days as All Blacks white-washed Raiders/Rovers 8-0 in Under-13.
It was the battle of the Big Cats in the Bundaberg Junior Rugby League Under-18 division with Brent Hass kicking a tough field goal on the siren to seal a surprise 19-18 victory for the previously winless Waves Tigers over Wests Panthers who suffered their first loss.
The Under-13 Tigers also roared to a 30-8 triumph over the Panthers with halfback Jimmy Gear and second rower Brody Allan each notching three tries.
It was a bad day for the Bundaberg clubs in the AFL Wide Bay Senior division with both Across The Waves Eagles and Brothers Bulldogs losing to Hervey Bay’s Bombers 11.2 (68) to 6.9 (45) and Power 11.11 (77) to 2.5 (17) respectively.
