St Agnes Catholic High School Year 7 & 8 Girls Rugby League Team beat Narrabeen High School in the grand final to win the State Championship last week.
‘It was a tough competition and the girls put in a massive effort during training days as well as competition days” coach Chris Chavez said.
Aided by tournament MVP, Tyla Amiatu, the team beat opponents from all regions in NSW, some who have specialised rugby league programs as part of their school curriculum.
The path to the grand final started in May when the girls won the Annual Panthers Cup, which allowed them to progress to the Legends Shield games as Penrith’s representatives.
“Our girls were inspired by the words from league legend Nathan Hindmarsh and Australian Jillaroo Simaima Taufa, who ran the water for them during their final pool game.
Chris Chavez said he was pleased to see all the hard work the girls put in at training pay off.
There cannot be enough words to describe how well this team has represented St Agnes Catholic High School. Principles of teamwork, sportsmanship, unity, acceptance and commitment are just a few to describe each member of this team. Each player fulfilled their roles way beyond expectations and their efforts resulted in them being able to call themselves the best Year 7/8 schoolgirl rugby league team in NSW.
