Under 14 Boys Rugby 7's State Tournament
It was a great pleasure to be associated with 21 fantastic players and two great Year 11 coaches as the Under 14 boys took part in the Mid North Coast Rugby 7's State Tournament.
There is great interest in rugby at St Paul’s in Years 7 and 8 which was signified by our school entering two strong sides. At the end of the tournament the St Paul’s Blue side won all their preliminary matches and narrowly lost the final to MacKillop College who presented a significant size difference, however the tenacious tackling and skill from St Paul’s was awesome.
The St Paul’s White side also played very well with two wins and two losses, it is important to note that 14 of the 21 players are in Year 7 playing usually heavier opponents. Another highlight of the day was the wonderful opportunity for the boys to meet and be trained by current NSW Waratah and ex St Paul’s student Tristan Reilly. Tristan is a very proud Macleay Valley man and was wonderful with our students. Next year the Waratahs are blessed with two outstanding St Paul’s ex students contracted to them - Tristan Reilly and current Wallaby, Darby Lancaster.
