The journey began back in May when the boys played in the first round competition in Young against other schools from Young and Harden.
A resounding win took them to the semi-finals held in Cootamundra in June with the boys making it through to the final round.
Their first game proved to be very close with the only points scored occurring in the last 10 seconds of the game.
The boys finished third on the day and were proud of their achievements.
We are very grateful to the National Rugby League and in particular, Luke Branighan, for providing the opportunity for our boys to be involved in such an amazing competition.
On the day they had the opportunity to meet Laurie Daly and have their photo taken with the State of Origin Shield.
A big thank you must go to the boys’ coach Troy Newham who has worked tirelessly over the last couple of months to train and prepare the boys.
This commitment by parents, like Troy, really shows the tremendous school spirit alive and well at St Mary’s.
