OATES GIVES ST BRENDAN'S THE EDGE YEPPOON'S St Brendan's College has advanced to the Queensland final after North Queensland's two leading rugby league schools couldn't be separated in the NQ final of the National Schoolboy Cup in Mackay yesterday. Townsville’s Kirwan High and St Brendan’s were 12-all at full time at Shark Park, and were still level after five minutes extra time each way. But there could only be one winner, so after hurried phone calls on the sidelines the match was awarded to St Brendan’s, who had scored first through second-rower Corey Oates. Both sides scored two tries – Oates and Dan Clarke crossed for St Brendan’s, and Reece Martin and Jake Carter for Kirwan. Jake McManus kicked both his conversion attempts for St Brendan’s, while Martin missed one for Kirwan to leave them two points behind with minutes to play. But a penalty to Kirwan in front of the posts levelled the scores. Neither side could break the deadlock in extra time. St Brendan’s go on to play the Queensland final against the winner of the southern division. The Queensland winner will play in the national finals against three NSW teams next month. |

 A “COURAGEOUS” effort from front-rowers Tama Heka and Justice Grace helped St Brendan's College to victory over Kirwan State High School in the semi-final of the ARL Schoolboy Cup yesterday. In a physical affair, the game went into extra time after the scores were locked 12-all at full-time. After extra time, neither side could manage to break the deadlock. In schoolboy rugby league, after 10 minutes of extra time, the winning team is the one that scores the most tries in the match. However, both sides had scored the same amount of tries, therefore the team that scored the first try of the match was declared the winner. That was St Brendan’s College’s Corey Oates. Despite an earlier start in which St Brendan’s looked in control, Kirwan hit back quickly and led at half-time 10-6. St Brendan’s were next to score to take a 12-10 lead. The Yeppoon-based side looked like winning the match in regular time before giving a penalty away within in kicking range 30 seconds from full-time. Kirwan was successful with the kick and the match was locked up at full-time. St Brendan’s coach Terry Hansen was particularly pleased with the effort of his forward pack, which stood up to the much larger Kirwan pack. “Tama Heka and Justice Grace were outstanding up front for us,” said Hansen. “It wasn’t pretty but they just hung in there.” To make the win even more impressive, the Kirwan side included a number of North Queensland Cowboys’ Toyota Cup players including second-rower Jason Taumalolo who is a regular fixture starting side. St Brendan’s now face Keebra Park in the state final next week. |

Chifley College defeated All Saints Maitland 16-14 in the semi final of the ARL Trophy ( formerly Arrive Alive Cup ) at St Marys Rugby League Stadium on Tuesday August 17. The semi final was attended by leading officials from NSW Rugby League. Chifley only reached the semi final via an extra time draw against Bathurst High and All Saints were equally lucky in their field goal semi final win over Farrer High School. All Saints should have won the match after leading 14 – nil early in the first half. They looked in control in all aspects of the game. They were powering towards an easy victory as they did when the last time the two schools met in 2006. However half time changed the course of the game. Chifley began the second half only 8 points behind and held out a determined All Saints from numerous raids in the first ten minutes of the second half. A better kicking game by Dylan Ariu, stronger defence led by SalvationMumu and stronger running from TekinaVailealead to a great team try and a difference of four points. It was then that captain Michael Crompton burst the All Saints line from his own 20 metre zone and scored the winning try. Both schools must be congratulated on their outstanding sportsmanship during and after the game and they thank the many parents and supporters who attended the match. The final of the ARL Trophy Competition will be the first time Chifley College has participated in a decider of a state competition, since its formation in 2001. Chifley has already won the CHS St Marys Cup Colleges competition for the third year in succession. However they understand the ARL Trophy Final will be another level in quality and standard of rugby league. |

TWIN PLAYS SCHOOLBOY MATCH WHEN a schoolboy rugby league player from a Coffs Coast high school was ruled out of his team for a big match he found a ready replacement waiting on the sideline. His identical twin brother, who was not a student at the school, agreed to take his place and it wasn’t until after the game had finished and his school had won 28-18 in a physical contest that the audacious substitution was discovered. The incident took place in Coffs Harbour on June 10 during a round of the CRL Schoolboy Trophy, formerly the Arrive Alive Cup. Greater North Coast Regional Coaching and Development Manager, Graham Boland, believed it was the first time he had come across such an incident in his long career. “I’m not saying it hasn’t happened before but I was gobsmacked when I first found out what occurred,” he said. “When you’re organising these activities you don’t expect the kids will swap identities, right under our noses. They even signed the sheets under the false name and I hate to think what could have happened if something had gone wrong.” It’s believed the regular school coach was unavailable on the day and the parent of another student filled in for the match, which meant it was some time before the swap was detected. Boland admitted he felt ‘irate’ when first briefed on the incident. “Once the school realised what had happened, they immediately informed us of the circumstances and forfeited their place in the competition,” he said. “I feel sorry for them as they didn’t set out to deceive and are just as much the victims as we are.” The principal of the school involved was asked to comment but advised that privacy regulations forced him to decline. However, it’s understood that the incident has been addressed within the school system. At least three players from the match, including the twin brothers, are team-mates in a Group 2 under-18 side but chief administrator Jim Anderson said because the incident had happened at school, his hands were tied from taking further action. “If anything like a player substitution happened in our jurisdiction and it was proved, we’d take a very dim view,” he said. “I can promise all those involved would not be seen around rugby league grounds for a very long time.” |

Keebra Park down Palm Beach Currumbin and are now through to QLD final in the National Schoolboys Cup. Keebra Park SHS have succesfully defended their South Qld Champions tag with a solid win over Gold Coast heavyweights Palm Beach Curumbin. In front of a large crowd at Suncorp Stadium, Keebra were too strong for a nippy PBC outfit who never really gained enough momentum to cause Keebra much trouble. Half time saw the score at 16-6 too Keebra and a tense first five minutes of the second half saw PBC narrow the margin to 16-12. While the game was there for the taking during this period, it was a ten minute blitz lead mainly by tremendous line breaks by Henare Wells that saw Keebra skip away to a 28-12 lead. PBC rallied and scored a late consolation try but a try to James Dunley gave Keebra a two try buffer and the 34-18 final score was a fair reflection of the nights events. Keebra now go on to play the winner of the North Qld final in defence of their National Championship win in 2010. Pictures are on the way.

 Keebra Park has arrived and they are really alive as they get their hands on the Arrive Alive Cup yesterday for the first time PHOTO'S : Keebra wins title WESTS Tigers are refusing to back down in a tug-of-war with the Broncos for young fullback Jordan Kahu who yesterday led Keebra Park to the Gold Coast School's first Arrive Alive Cup title. The Kiwi product won the Peter Sterling Medal for the best player in the national schoolboy competition as Keebra held on to beat Matraville Sports High 18-12 in a thriller at ANZ stadium in Sydney. Keebra led 12-0 at the break after tries to winger Henere Wells and barnstorming backrower Ben Murdoch. Centre Sione Akaula scored after the break to make it 18-6 before Matraville fought back. It was the third straight final for Matraville but after winning in 2007 they've now lost the past two to Gold Coast schools after being rolled by Keebra's arch rivals Palm Beach-Currumbin last year. "PBC are our biggest rivals and when we beat them we didn't want to slack out and lose and not win the Australian title," said Kahu. "Inside I was scared but I wasn't going to give up and I'm sure all the boys were thinking the same." Kahu now hopes to follow the lead of the likes of Benji Marshall and be the next star to come out of Keebra Park: "It's always been my dream to play at the highest level of any sport. Hopefully NRL is my next step up." The question now is who's colours will he be wearing next year. Kahu wants to join the Broncos so he can stay close to his father Dave on the Gold Coast but Wests Tigers recruitment manager Warren McDonnell claimed the Sydney club had an option on his services and expected him to honour the deal and head to them along with prop Isaac Lui and secondrower Ben Murdoch. "We're not happy. We've looked after him for two years," said McDonnell. "We brought him down to our camp and all of a sudden another club wants to come in and take him. "We have an option on him for next year. We've taken it up and expect him to come down." The tug-of-war for Kahu couldn't take any of the gloss off the win for Keebra's veteran coach Greg Lenton. Lenton is celebrating his 30th year at Keebra. "It's a great thing for the school -- it's a great school," said Lenton, who was delighted to get the monkey off the back. "That was always commented on and we'd played a lot of Queensland finals and got through to a few Australians but hadn't got one so it's nice to finally get one. "I've always enjoyed working with the boys and seeing the boys develop and go on and play and also develop good characters. "It hasn't always been about winning the national title, that's not what motivated me but I'm not saying it's not nice to get one." Keebra got a good start when six minutes in quick hands saw winger Wells score from a scrum while five from the break Murdoch beat five defenders to score. Matraville fired up after half-time and shortly after a spilt bomb their lock Kyle Fraser scored. Keebra fans were able to breathe easier when centre Sione Akaula scored shortly after and Kahu landed the extras from the sideline. Centre Haliano Saluka scored late for Matraville to make it a nervous final 10 minutes before Keebra could finally celebrate. |
