The Colts' solid defensive showing led to turnover tries throughout the day. Prop Keegan O'Conner, Dylan Ramsey, and Austin Schibell were impressive on defense. Their fitness and exceptional teamwork allowed them to push through some early injuries. They finished with only nine players able to suit up for the final two games, but they battled on.
Wing Cole Ryan finished the five-week season with a team-high 21 tries, while Moroney at halfback led the team in scoring with 183 points.
Meanwhile, Jordan Young was a key performer as well.
“Jordon Young had a fantastic day winning many kickoffs, scoring four tries, strong tackles, and counter rucks," said Head Coach Pat Moroney.
