Round 2 Recap | ANZAC Round
ANZAC Round always carries a deeper meaning, and Saturday was a day that reflected exactly what our club is about — respect, effort, and community. Taking on Maroochydore Swans, it was a full club performance both on and off the field. A Grade showed composure and resilience in a physical contest, coming away with a strong 36–26 win. After a tight first half, the boys lifted the intensity, controlled field position, and finished the game the right way. Reserve Grade set the tone early and never let up, delivering a dominant 36–0 performance. Discipline, structure, and effort across the park saw them control the game from start to finish. Women’s continued their momentum with a clinical 17–0 win, showcasing control in defence and taking their opportunities when it mattered. Another complete performance from the reigning premiers. Across the entire club, it was a clean sweep across all senior and junior grades — a huge reflection of the depth, culture, and work being put in right across the Dolphins program. Off the field, the day was just as significant. Our ANZAC jersey auction was an outstanding success, raising over $5,000. 10% of proceeds will go directly to Mates4Mates, supporting Australian veterans and their families, with the remaining funds reinvested back into the club to support our players, facilities, and future growth. A massive thank you to all of our sponsors — your ongoing support is what allows days like this to happen and keeps our club moving forward. To our supporters, thank you for turning up in numbers, creating an incredible atmosphere, and getting behind every team across the day. Your support doesn’t go unnoticed. And to Maroochydore Swans, thank you for the contest and for being part of a respectful and meaningful ANZAC Round. A special day, strong results, and a club moving in the right direction. We go again next week.
