On the 11th of May Benny Bartlett and Lochie Wilson went over to Canberra to participate in the Mackillop Rugby league trials. We went over to Canberra in the afternoon a day before to go to the training session with our team.

Then we went out to dinner together then went back to our motels to go to sleep for the night.

We both woke up at 7.00am to get our gear on ready to play for 8.00am.  When we played our first game, we both played really well and Lochie scored the first try, and Benny made a lot of metres.  We played 4 games against Wollongong, Parramatta, Wagga and Sydney.

I got picked in the possibles and probables trial at the end of the day, but just missed out on selection.

Benny and I really enjoyed representing our school.
