Unfortunately, last Saturday saw most of our boys’ sport washed out due to large amounts of rain on Thursday and Friday and in particular on Friday night. This was a real pity as the boys were very keen to get back out there after such a wonderful week against Kings.

Our 13G team, however, was lucky enough to still be able to play against the Knox 13F team over at the Gillespie fields. The venue was every boy’s dream and every parents nightmare (when considering washing). It was muddy and as far as the boys were concerned … that was great!

In speaking to the coach, Sebastian on Saturday night, he was very pleased with the boys’ efforts and they were able to come away from the match with a 62-0 victory. After a similarly high scoring win the previous week, the boys in the 13Gs are certainly proving tough for each of their opponents.

Leading the points serge on Saturday was Padraig Dempsey (Seaforth) who scored three tries. Also contributing significantly to the points was Ryan Lyne (Roseville) who scored two tries and a conversion as well as Travis Blair (Macksville) and Kurt Wilschefski (Waverley) who each scored two tries. Bayley O’Donnell (Hong Kong), Tom Cullen (Tennyson Point) and Henry Lawler (Dubbo) also scored tries.

When talking to a few of the boys when they arrived back on Saturday afternoon, it was clear that the conditions were certainly challenging but also a lot of fun. Brandon Zhao (Bomaderry) said that it was the first time he had played in the mud and found that predicting the bounce of the ball was difficult. Henry Lawler (Dubbo) commented on how long it took him to get all the mud off both himself and his boots but said that it was definately worth it as it was great fun playing in the mud. Harry Dodd (Tathra) noted that the opposition wasn’t able to get into the Joeys 22 during the game at all and made mention of the strong game that both Kurt Wilschefski (Waverley) andNoah Sunderland (Rozelle) had.

It may not surprise you to hear that all three boys said that the highlight of the day was the massive mud slide that they all did once the game was over!

Well done to the U13G team for doing so well on a day where they were the only ones out there playing.
