The Burdekin Roosters had a strong presence in the Rugby League Townsville and District (RLTD) finals last weekend, with three teams competing: the Under 13s, Under 18s, and Reserve Grade.
One family that stood out was the Lammon family, who had an especially busy weekend. Melissa Lammon, the registrar for both the junior and senior Roosters, and her husband Thomas, who runs water for the Under 13s, 18s, and at times the Reserves, supported their three sons in an exceptional weekend of football.
All three Lammon boys—Jax, Harrison, and Hayden—played in their respective Grand Finals. Jax, the hooker for the Under 13 team, played early on Saturday morning, followed by Harrison, the Under 18s hooker, in the afternoon. Hayden, a front-rower for the Reserve Grade, took the field on Sunday. Normally an A-grade star, Hayden played for the Reserves after returning from injury.
Jax will hold the family bragging rights, as his Under 13 team was the only one to claim the premiership title. Despite the mixed results, all three Lammon boys delivered standout performances.
As the Roosters' presentation nights approach, it's expected the talented Lammon trio will collect trophies for their efforts, ensuring the future of the Burdekin Roosters remains bright with dedicated families like theirs.
