RED BEND COLLEGE, FORBES v AQUINAS COLLEGE, MENAI
It was a big week last week for Red Bend College as the 14’s went down to a very well coached side from Aquinas College, Menai, (Steve Gough former Cronulla coach and assistant to John Lang at Cronulla and Penrith coached them, he is now deputy at Aquinas).
The Sydney boys had an enjoyable trip to the country and should be congratulated on the way they represented their school both on and off the field.
Red Bend went down fighting in the semi final of the under 14’s Cochrane Cup last Friday.
Supported on by the junior school, many parents and local spectators, they were unable to reproduce the victory of the Opens the day before.
In a very close game where the opposition, Aquinas College from Menai, were first to score, the College team led by Dave Cowhan had their chances.
With the score 12 - 6 at the break after a barn storming run and try by Parkes student Druss Afele.
The second half showed some great defence with neither side able to dominate. Menai score a late try in the corner to run out winners 16 - 6.
Once again the best for the College was front rower Dave Cowhan, followed by Bryce Park and Jarrod Tyack.
Coaches awards for the Opens on Thursday and 14’s on Friday went to Toby Evans (Parkes) who played half back in the Opens 14 - 12 win over St Edwards from Gosford and Dave Cowhan (Forbes) in the fourteens.
These awards kindly donated by St George-Illawarra (thanks to Brian Keegan)
Aquinas College's Player's player was Sharks Development player Josh Baldacchino, others worth a mention are skipper Jeremy Safi who is in the Bulldogs development squad and was converting goals from the sidelines.
Aquinas coach Steve Gough said, " the boys all played very well, the Red Bend people were great and really looked after as from the moment we arrived at the College."
Aquinas College now take on powerhouse St. Hohns Woodlawn in the Grand Final of the NSWCC Cochrane Cup.
The Grand Final is on at Leichhardt Oval next Wednesday the 16 Sept, kick off 11:00 am. |

WESTERN FINALS OF THE CRL ‘ANDREW RYAN’ CUP
Story & Photo By : HOOPS RedBend College
Red Bend Catholic College, Forbes had both the fifteens and Opens in the Andrew Ryan Cup finals hosted by the CRL in Dubbo last Thursday.
The College fifteens had 3 very hard and close games.
Winning their first against Bathurst High School 12-10, followed by a draw against James Sheahan and in the final game to determine who progressed through to the Southern Semi-Finals in Cootamundra, they were defeated by a strong South Dubbo team 20-12. Best for the College fifteens on the day were Jake O’Brien, Dave Cowhan, Wade Harris and Jake Goodwin.
Red Bend’s Opens played outstanding rugby league to convincingly win both their games.
In the first game they accounted for James Sheahan (Orange) 36-0, followed by another dominating display against Kelso High (Bathurst) also 36-0.
The Opens now progress through to the CRL Cup Semi Finals to be held in Cootamundra on July 30th, where they play Kiama High and either Hennessy College (Young) or Bega High in the second game.
The Open’s best performers were forwards Lou Goodwin, Jake Grace, Andrew Cowhan, Mitch Davis and in the backs Toby Evans and Ethan Williams.
A highlight for the players was meeting Andrew Ryan and him making the presentation to the winners with the Open’s receiving bags containing ‘Bulldogs’ gear.
Both teams would like to thank the CRL and Andrew Ryan (Bulldogs) for hosting the day and the many spectators for travelling to Dubbo. |

COLLEGE THROUGH TO FINAL 8 COCHRANE CUP
Story & Photo By : HOOPS RedBend College
The College Fourteens travelled to Wagga on Tuesday 7th July to participate in the Regional playoffs for the Cochrane Cup against Kildare Catholic College.
The Cochrane Cup is a State wide competition for Catholic Schools and Colleges and administered by the NSW RL Academy.
The College started well scoring the first try with Ben Thomson from Parkes crossing out wide. Kildare attacked the College line and were next to score from kick to level the scores at 4 all.
After some great work by the College forwards including Druss Afele the ball was shifted out wide with Dave Cowhan offloading to Jarred Tyack for winger Ben Maguire to score in the corner, this had the College in front 8-4 at halftime.
Kildare attacked after the break scoring next for 8 all.
The Red Bend team then controlled with great tries to Daniel Willis and Chris Judd and a conversion to Caleb Hewitt.
In a hard decision as all players played well points were given to front rower Dave Cowhan 3 points, 2 points to second rower Ben Thomson and 1 point each to 13 year old Chris Judd and forward Archie McMasters.
Thanks to the parents that travelled down to support the team, Robyne Cowhan for the photos and Kildare College for the BBQ after the game.
The Fourteens now move into the final 8 in the State and are due to play La Salle College, Bankstown (Jamal Idris’ school) early next term. |

NSW CCC GETTING READY FOR AUSSIE CHAMP'S
STORY & PHOTO'S BY :
NSWCCC played 2 trials against the mighty WestsTigers teams at Campbelltown Stadium on Sunday morning.
It turned out to be a great day for footy at Campbelltown Stadium on Sunday morning when Wests Magpies & the Wests Tigers threw their junior rep's at the NSW CCC under 15's and under 18's.
It was a good hit out for both teams with plenty of good things coming from both games.
Some extra time together and the trial against the mighty Parramatta Eels Harold Matthew's & SG Ball champion sides these two CCC teams will improve out of sight in time for the ASSRL Championships coming pretty soon now.
The Eels trial is in a couple weeks and both teams will be tested by Parramatta, both their Matty's Cup & SG Ball sides had fantastic seasons with the Under 16's losing the Grand Final to a rampaging Bulldogs team at the height of their powers. aCTioN PHoTo'S

Story & Photo BY : 
Oki Jubilee Stadium was a fitting venue for the St. George regional final of the Premier schoolboys rugby league comptition in Australia.
Christian Brother College Lewisham got it on with powerhouse Marist Brothers College Kogarah in this years final.
The Christian Brothers side got off to a good start attacking the the line only to be held out by pretty good Marist Bro's defence, after repeated sets the Christian Bro's were first to score when Matt Coffey crossed.
That was about all the joy for the boys from Lewisham, from then on the Marist boys took control of the game winning this Arrive alive Cup regional final 6 tries to 2.
Aaron Pollard was amoung the best for the Marist boys with his 2 tries and conversion while Daniel Abou-Sleiman was very handy for the Christian Brother's.
