FOUR FROM SEVEN. 🏆

Seven premierships were on offer to this club in 2026.
We won four of them.

🔴 UNDER 14s — 32–19 over Helensvale
🔴 3rd GRADE — 15–7 over Nerang, MacDonald Cup
🔴 1st GRADE — 33–31 over Nerang, Phil Temperton Cup
🔴 UNDER 13s — 32–22 over the Eagles, back-to-back

The special edition of KnightWatch is out now. The U13s coming
from 17–0 down. Every premiership, with what it actually took.
And the bit that matters most — the thank-you to every person
who got this club there.

Players, coaches, managers, ground marshals, canteen, bar,
junior parents, the committee, the Old Boys, and everyone who
travelled. Nobody did this on their own.

⚔️ U10 SEASON AWARDS ⚔️

What a season for our U10 Knights! 🔥
This incredible team had never lost a game, right up until the very final game of this season. That last game marked their first-ever loss, and although it wasn’t the result they had hoped for, it takes absolutely nothing away from what this group has achieved.

To remain undefeated for so long is an incredible accomplishment and a true reflection of their talent, hard work, commitment and determination.

To remain undefeated for so long is an incredible accomplishment and a true reflection of their talent, hard work, commitment and determination.

A huge part of that comes down to their incredibly passionate coach, whose commitment, belief and dedication to this group of boys has been there every step of the way. His passion for this team is undeniable, and because he wanted to recognise even more of their efforts throughout the season, several additional awards were also organised to celebrate the boys and what they brought to the team.

A huge congratulations to our U10 award recipients

🏆 Best Back: Jack S
🏆 Best Forward: Jack M
🏆 MVP: Leo & Nixon

And congratulations to our FIVE-YEAR PIN recipients:

⚔️ Corbett
⚔️ Eli
⚔️ George
⚔️ Jack

And yes… there aren't nearly enough photos of this amazing team! I got so overwhelmed by all the awards, the excitement and apparently my sudden desire to become an honorary member of the U10 team that I completely forgot I was meant to be taking photos.

⚔️ U12 SEASON AWARDS ⚔️

What an incredible achievement from our U12 Knights this season! Making it all the way through to the Semi Finals was something this team should be extremely proud of. With many of these players having been Knights for many years, this group showed exactly what loyalty, resilience and determination look like.

Throughout the season they faced some incredibly strong and stacked opposition, while also battling multiple serious injuries that sadly ruled players out for the remainder of the season. Despite every setback, they continued to turn up, work hard and play for one another.

This group has built something special together, and the way they continue to back each other, work hard and fight for every opportunity is what makes this team so exciting for the future. Watch out for this team next year, they are only getting started.

A huge congratulations to our U12 award recipients:
🏆 Best Back: Rhodes Ropati
🏆 Best Forward: Ilaisa'ane Filikitonga
🏆 MVP: Hendrix Goodall
🏆 Most Improved Back: Covey McLeod
🏆 Most Improved Forward: Luca Gulliver

A very special congratulations also goes to Xavier Cox, who was recognised across the Junior Club with two outstanding awards
🏆 Junior Player of the Year
🏆 Junior Clubman of the Year, Patrick Sharpe Memorial Award

And congratulations to our U12 players receiving their FIVE-YEAR PINS for their commitment to the Knights:
Ari, Griffin, Hudson, Luca, Nicholas, Sam, Xavier & Zahrin

17–0 DOWN AFTER TWENTY MINUTES. 🏉

And then our UNDER 13s went and won a premiership.

The Gold Coast Bulletin was at Coomera on Sunday and has
written up the lot — Hudson Harley getting us on the board,
Pippen Montgomery running almost the length of the field on
the halftime siren, Nicholas Wilson chopping down blokes twice
his size, Arkaydian Turner's try and conversion, the
cross-field kick that found Zion Tadulala unmarked, and then
Jaedon Roberts scoring twice in three minutes to win it.

From 17–0 down: five tries to one. Four of them in fifteen
minutes. 32–22.

These same boys won the U12 Grand Final last year. That's
back-to-back. 🏆🏆

Worth your time — full report and a 170-photo gallery 👇

“First Grade, we’re coming for it all. I want you to put that in there: we are coming for it all.”
