THE young Eagles found their football boots and gave Harvey Brunswick Lions a lesson playing away from home at Leschenault on Saturday.
In an important game for their season the year 7s produced a quality game which will give them confidence as they move forward.
Captain for the day Dannye Jones showed that role was an honour for every young footballer with his impressive leadership skills before bounce down and throughout the game.
Dylan Weighell played an outstanding game and was one of Collie's best, with great support from Jack Spencer, Bailey Edwards and Ethan Harrison-Brown.
Kieran Escott was all class again as he delivered the ball with precision to the forward line, allowing Eagles forwards Rory Bebbington and Cain Kelly to capitalise on his delivery.
James Sinclair attacked the ball well and Sam Salmeri stood tall across the back line with a fine display of marking, opportune spoiling and clearing kicks to ensure his Harvey Brunswick opponents were well beaten in every quarter.
Kalen Han was impressive, rotating through the mid-field with Austin Kent who showed courage to play through considerable discomfort caused by a hand injury.
The hard work of Jaxen Cooper and Rory Atherton enabled them to dominate the ruck position and Cooper topped off his efforts by kicking a fantastic goal while resting in the forward line.
Liam Shepherd had a birthday on and off the field playing a versatile game and accumulating many possessions to ensure Collie ran out convincing winners.
The team is on the road again this week travelling to Ocean Forest Oval to take on the mighty Dalyellup White lineup.
