TOUCH FOOTBALL: Junior players from the Dalby Eagles did their club proud at the Titans Junior Club Challenge on Sunday, November 18.

Under 12 boys coach Brenton McMillan said his team had gone through undefeated, which he thought was a surprise to everyone, including himself.

"Most of the games against the other teams were pretty tough,” Mr McMillan said.

"We played six games altogether and I think there would have only been two games where we won by more than one try.

"All the games were good, tough touch footy games.”

With the season over for the year, Mr McMillan said the teams were breaking for holidays and would be ready to go again next year.

Under 10 girls also walked away undefeated.

The U10 boys coach Mark Boundy said he was very proud of how his team played.

They played five games before their final against Roma.

"They showed a lot of resilience,” Mr Boundy said.

"It was a great carnival because we had a lot of country teams involved.

"A big credit goes out to the South West Queensland Touch for allowing all the country teams in to play.

"Hopefully this competition happens again in the future.”
