Cochrane Cup 14s Rugby League
On Thursday, 24th July, our Under 14 Boys Rugby League team competed in the Northern State Finals of the Cochrane Cup in Coffs Harbour. The team delivered an outstanding performance throughout the day, progressing impressively to the grand final.
In a thrilling and hard-fought match, the boys narrowly missed out on victory, going down 30–28 to St Paul’s College, Kempsey, in the final moments of the game. Despite the result, the team should be incredibly proud of their effort, resilience, and sportsmanship.
We extend our sincere thanks to Mr Michael Stubbs and Mr Kris Kent for their dedication and leadership in coaching the team. Special thanks also to Levi Newton and Cooper Shaw for their valuable support throughout the competition.
AFL Senior Schools Cup
Our Open Boys AFL team had a strong showing at the AFL North Coast Senior Schools Cup, starting the day with two dominant wins over Hastings Secondary College and St Columba Anglican School from Port Macquarie to secure their place in the final. Goal kickers throughout the day included Ashton Herbert, James Watson, Sonny Colyer, and Iggy Hibberd.
Despite their early success, the boys faced a well-drilled Mackillop College side in the final and were unable to come away with the win. Congratulations to the team on a fantastic effort and for representing the school with determination and pride. Thanks to Mr Kurt Marle and Mr Matthew Quinton for all the time and effort they put into coaching and supporting the team.
