They opened with a confident win against St Leo’s Catholic College Invitational, followed by a strong performance against MacKillop Catholic College, where they really began to switch on and play smart, expansive touch football. The team’s attacking structure came together beautifully, with several tries scored out wide thanks to quick ball movement and excellent communication. Jax Luongo crossed for some outstanding tries on the wing, while the combination of Nick and Sean through the middle continually created space and opportunities for the outside players.

Despite a close loss to St Paul’s Catholic College in the third game, the boys advanced to the semi-final, where they fought hard in a tight contest against Mater Maria Catholic College. Although they just fell short, the team should be commended for their determination, skill, and attacking flair throughout the day. Every player gave their best effort, listened, learned, and worked for each other.

A special thank you to Billy Carpenter for refereeing throughout the day, and to Coby Neilly, who did an outstanding job coaching the side and providing valuable guidance and encouragement to the players.
