Small Schools Rugby League - State Finalists

Well done to the students who gallantly competed in the Small Schools Rugby League State Final in Bathurst on Wednesday 10th September. The boys put out a gritty performance, never giving up and showing some determined and skillful plays. The score did not reflect the game and we unfortunately went down 38-10. Both tries were through the quick thinking and strong runs from Henry Webber, and a difficult conversion by Jett Johnson.

Thank you to Jonny England for coaching the team and to Andrew Johnson for assisting with coaching and other duties at both the preliminary round in Wagga and the final in Bathurst. Your knowledge and willingness to donate your time is greatly appreciated. Thank you to the parents for taking your children to these opportunities.
