IT was a busy fortnight around the Douglas Shire with the Mossman Sharks, Port Douglas Reef Raiders both playing important games. Both teams are looking to get back to their previous premiership success in their 2025 campaigns.

The Port Douglas Reef Raiders A and B grade have had very different seasons to date.

The B grade squad, despite losing their last two games, have had a near perfect year and are looking like the current favourites to take away the premiership.

The A grade side has had a very bumpy start to the season, currently sitting in last place, but are confident that they’ll still be able to turn the corner and finish the season strong and make one last monster finals push.

The Mossman Sharks started their season very hopeful to bring back another round of premiership cups to the Douglas Shire.

The A grade boys are currently in fifth place but look to secure a top four spot and make a finals push after a bit of a rocky stretch of games.

The reserve grade team have also had a bumpy year and currently find themselves in seventh place but are only one win to make a fourth position.

Both teams take on Innisfail in their next match-up which they look to find some form and begin their strong bid for the finals.

The U19s boys have had a great year and currently see themselves in fourth place.

They also face Innisfail this week where they look to bounce back from their 56-12 thrashing by the Atherton Roosters.
