McTaggart Cup 10’s 

Last Wednesday the Year 5 / 6 boys travelled to Wagga to play in the McTaggart cup. We didn’t have enough players so we had to call in Bongongo kids to come down for the day to help out.  

Our first game was against Murrumburrah Public who were a pretty solid team. It was all tied up with a minute to go we got two tries and won the game right on the siren.

 Our second game was against Mater Dei who wasn’t the strongest team, but we beat them by about 5 or 6 tries.

The third game was against St Annes Temora which was a tough and close game, in the end, we managed to beat them by one try.

The fourth game was against Griffith public who won the day outright, but unfortunately, we lost against them. They were very skilled and elusive!

Our fifth game was against Young Public, we beat them by just one try in the last minute.

The last game was against Leeton Public, we had to beat them to go to Canberra and we had a draw. In the rules, if there was a draw the team that scored the last try was deemed the winner. We scored the last two tries.

After all the games we played we wanted Griffith to beat Leeton for us to be able to go to Canberra, in the end, Griffith did beat Leeton which meant we were able to go to Canberra.

Our team will now travel to Canberra on Sunday 2nd June for the Rugby Union 10’s Championship which will be played as the curtain raiser before the Brumbies verse Sunwolves game.

McTaggart Cup 10's

Last Wednesday the boys from Years 5 & 6 went to Wagga for rugby union. We played six games of footy. The only game we lost was to Griffith PS. we did not have enough players so we got three players from Bongongo, Mack Mason, Fred Graham and George Graham.

We play really good footy and we won 5 out of 6 on Wednesday. We played Leeton PS, Griffith PS, St Annes Temora, Mater Dei PS, Murrumburrah PS and Young PS. We drew against Leeton PS and lost against Griffith. We made it away to Canberra and we play on the third of June, and we get to play in front of the Brumbies before they play. We had a good day and we got a 2018 Brumbies members pack.
