On Wednesday 20 May, our Under 14's and 16’s Rugby League teams competed in the Panther Trophy at Whalan Reserve. This tournament allows schools between Blacktown and Katoomba and out towards Windsor to compete against one another.
The Under 14 team played very well winning all of their 4 games but unfortunately were narrowly beaten in the Quarter Finals.
The Under 16 team were more successful. Their first game against Katoomba High School which was an easy 20-0 victory. This game was followed by another 20-0 win over Cranebrook High School. Outstanding players in these early games were Jysiah Uele, Sean Erupi, Thomas Latu, Jack Redman and Jeremiah Asiata as our team fired up on all cylinders.
The next game was the hardest of the day against Nepean High School. Despite some handling errors and penalties conceded, their defence was strong and we eked out a 6-4 win courtesy of a brilliant solo try by Mitchell Dodds. Another easy win followed this, this time winning 18-4 over Kingswood High School.
The final of the tournament was against Bede Polding College, who also won their group stage. St Agnes started very strongly courtesy of our forwards, especially Jeremiah Tukala, Manoa Ratubalavu and Dylan Clifton. A steam rolling try by Ben Allatt just before halftime gave St Agnes an 8-0 lead. They finished with a comfortable 18-4 victory.
This tournament victory was due to an outstanding effort from the boys, most of whom were playing a year above their age group. It reflects the amount of time and effort they have invested on the training paddock. Their conduct on and off the field is a credit to the school and their families.
This team will now face St Dominics College at St Marys Leagues Stadium on Wednesday, 12 June 2015, to attempt to qualify for the State Knockout.
The full squad consists of Mitchell Dodds (c), Phoenix Amiatu, Sean Erupi, Thomas Latu, Joseph Tuliatu, Jack Redman, Raymond Nansen, Jeremiah Asiata, Jysiah Uele, Jeremiah Tukala, Nathan Degei, Manoa Ratubalavu, Edward Pese, Ben Allatt, Ah Lam Ng Lam, Christian Everingham, Raymond Nansen, Declan Walker, Marley Skarski, Martin Galang.
COACHES: Mr Greg Devine and Mr Chris Chavez.
