- Player of the Day: Junior Teams (13s, 14s & 15s)- Liam Nolan (14C)
- Player of the Day: Senior Teams (16s & Opens)- James Starr (6th XV)
- Rugby All Rounder of the Day (for effort/attitude on and off the field): Jaxson Allen (1st XV)
- Team of the Day- 14Cs
The 14Cs recorded a rousing 28-17 win on Gillespie and are the Team of the Day.
Alexander Lee and Jesse Lane were a formidable combination in the midfield as highlighted by their resolute defence and strong running. Hooker, Ethan Goldberg was once again a strong contributor both at the set piece and in general play while Walter Heeley and Ed Freeman marshalled strongly from halves. Liam Nolan was a tower of strength in the forwards as he returned from injury in superb fashion.
Special mention to the 6th XV.
The 6th XV secured a nail-biting win by a solidary point to start proceedings on the main oval at Knox. Front rower, Sam Mitrovski was in the thick of the action in the forwards, lock Sol Stathis was a tackling machine and superb at the breakdown while Wilson Lin and James Starr enjoyed lots of space through the middle and out on the edge. So too, Taj Hansen-Mackie was impressive as he stepped his way through would be defenders.
We host Waverley College this coming Saturday.
