Keebra Park win National Schoolboys title

Keebra Park High School is celebrating its first National Schoolboys Cup since 2017 after fullback David Bryenton steered the side to a gripping victory in Thursday’s final.

The visitors ran in four tries to two to hold off a fast-finishing Patrician Brothers Blacktown and secure a 20-12 win at Leichhardt Oval.

Patrician Brothers were buoyed by a vocal supporter base, but Keebra Park’s outstanding backs silenced the crowd early and they didn’t look back. The visitors kept their noses in front throughout the remainder of the contest.

The NSW champions battled valiantly, but their comeback effort finished short and they suffered a second-straight defeat in the National Schoolboys Cup final.

Keebra Park coach Peter Norman was thrilled

Keebra Park coach Peter Norman was thrilled with the composure his side showed late and said Thursday’s win was six years in the making.

“We had a large chunk of this group since year seven,” Norman told NRL.com. “To see their growth over the last six years to where they are now is incredible. A lot of them are actually in year 11, so it’s five years of growth.

“We’ve had some tough lessons where we’ve lost games like this and semi-finals but their work ethic and attitude got them this result.

Words can’t describe how proud I am.”

Bryenton was superb throughout the contest, claiming both the player of the match award and the Peter Sterling Medal for schoolboy player of the year.

In doing so, he joined the likes of Ben Te’o, Payne Haas and David Fifita as Keebra Park students to win the medal.

The Year 12 student only joined the school three years ago when he relocated from East Auckland to Australia to pursue his rugby league ambitions.

Bryenton is contracted to the Bulldogs and will move to Sydney at the end of the year to take the next step in his NRL dream.

On Thursday, however, his only focus was on leading Keebra Park to a breakthrough National Schoolboys Cup title in the competition’s 50th year.

“I wanted to come over to Australia for an opportunity,” Bryenton said. “I was having a laugh with the boys back home and I messaged the Keebra Park Instagram page seeing if they could get me over. They accepted it and I’m so happy I’m here now.

“I moved over from New Zealand when I was 15, now it’s my third year, my last year here and it’s a surreal feeling to be leaving Keebra Park with a national title.

“I can’t wait to start a new journey with the Bulldogs next year. It will be a new environment, I’m a bit nervous but excited for it.”

Sharks-backed Endeavour eye crucial Peter Mulholland Cup win

With a line-up dominated by emerging Cronulla players, Endeavour Sports High School will enjoy a strong home advantage against fellow powerhouse Patrician Brothers Fairfield at Sharks Stadium on Friday.

The teams will meet in Round 2 of the Peter Mulholland Cup (PMC) – the most prestigious schoolboy tournament in Australia comprising the best rugby league schools across NSW.

After losing last year’s final against Patrician Brothers Blacktown, Endeavour began their 2025 PMC campaign with a 40-4 victory over Farrar Memorial Agricultural School in May.

Captained by promising Sharks lock Tom Dellow, who won the club’s Junior Representative Player of the Year award in 2024, Endeavour is flush with Cronulla connections.

Coaches Dave Howlett and Brad Kelly are also involved with the Sharks, while halfback Liam Challenor, props Hudsyn Frost and Jake White, fullback Jaylan Herron and back-rower Blake Watman are just a handful of the Endeavour stars coming through Cronulla’s pathways.

Dellow, Frost, White, Watman and forward Sidney Truong have recently been selected for the NSW CHS Opens team, further showing the strength of the Sharks-Endeavour partnership.

The PMC involves the top 16 rugby league schools in NSW with pools of four.

The top two teams in each group progress to the knockout quarter-finals stage.

Endeavour is seeded third in this year’s competition, highlighting the Caringbah-based sporting school’s remarkable ability to sustain success.

Sharks SG Ball coach Kelly emphasised Endeavour’s unique standing in the region, stating, “Endeavour is the only school in the area that offers exposure to the Peter Mulholland Cup and the elite level of schoolboy rugby league.”

“This week’s game is important. We need to win to keep our hopes alive,” he added.

“Although we lost one pool game last year, it came down to for and against to get into the quarterfinals. Every game is super important and you’ve got to make sure you don’t leave anything unchecked.

“Patrician Brothers Fairfield are a good team. They had a good game against Hunter Sports High School (26-10 loss) and they’re going to be tough to beat on Friday.”

Kelly said having a large contingent of Sharks players is a bonus for Endeavour, who are pitted against a “who’s who” of rugby league schools including Westfields, Hunter, Hills, Illawarra and Matraville.

Powerhouse Catholic schools Patrician Brothers Blacktown, Patrician Brothers Fairfield, St Dominics and St Gregorys; plus others like Central Coast Sports and Erindale College.

“It definitely helps with continuity – they’ve either played SG Ball together or they’ve played Harold Matthews Cup,” Kelly said.

“They’ve got a good understanding of how we’re structured.

“Having Dave and I here as well as coaching down there, everything crosses over pretty closely.

“It gives us a bit of an advantage in terms of being able to keep the flow of the way we play the game going from Sharks into school.

“Fourteen of the 17 that played against Farrar were affiliated with the Sharks and the line-up will be fairly similar this week.”

Adding to the occasion on Friday, Endeavour will stage a 20-year reunion for their 2005 NRL Schoolboy Cup-winning team, including former Sharks players Mitch Brown and Blake Ayshford.

“Some of those boys are coming into the school to present the jerseys and have a chat to this year’s team, attend the game and have a BBQ afterwards,” Kelly said.

Kick-off on Friday is at 12pm, with free entry to the stadium.

The match will also be streamed live on KommunityTV.

PBC win in last minute thriller

Palm Beach Currumbin v Patrician Brothers College Blacktown, NRL Schoolboys Cup final

A single moment stranded in time between two young flyers has defined a massive year of NRL Schoolboys Cup – but in the end, only one could prevail. Watch the full match

Watch the full game replay from an epic grand final clash between Palm Beach Currumbin and Patrician Brothers Blacktown as they battle it out for the NRL Schoolboys Cup National title.

The Steeden floated high above the Cbus Super Stadium turf.

With 90 seconds left in the NRL Schoolboys Cup national final, and two points bewteen the sides, time stood still.

The entire stadium crowd drew a collective breath as opposing wingers Patrician Brothers’ Chad Riddle and Palm Beach Currumbin’s Beau Hatmann leapt as the footy tumbled down from the sky – and Hartmann prevailed.

He picked Riddle’s pocket and surged towards the stripe untouched with 90 seconds left on the clock to hand Palm Beach Currumbin a two-point lead – just minutes after he had dropped a similar chance at full stretch for what would’ve been a certain try.

The moment meant Palm Beach Currumbin clinched their third NRL national schoolboys title in a gripping 18-16 triumph over Patrician Brothers College, Blacktown. It was a win as special as they come, in a match as gripping as they come.

“I don’t even know, it was a perfect kick,” said Hartmann of the magical try after the game.

“I couldn’t have done it without Zane (haflback Harrison). It came down to luck really.

“I can’t describe it, it’s just so good, it’s the best feeling ever.”

The result was a repeat of 2018 where the same outcome ensued between the two schools. On that day, Tom Dearden was the star for Palm Beach Currumbin.

This time, it was another Reds half in Zane Harrison.

Harrison was amazing. The final try was just reward for a great kicking display for the full 60 minutes, and his defence was as good as his attack.

Twice he scooped up the footy in dangerous territory and scurried out of the in-goal to save PBC’s blushes.

PBC coach Tim Maccan was full of praise

PBC coach Tim Maccan was full of praise for his star half, who is signed to the Titans and seems destined to have a long career lighting up Cbus Super Stadium ahead of him.

“He’s the type of player where you just give him the keys and he drives it for you. I love him. He’s been my halfback for the last three years and he’s been unbelievable,” Maccan said.

PBC defended gallantly all day, fighting tooth and nail under immense pressure against a star-studded Patties Blacktown outfit containing four Australian Schoolboys representatives.

The earlier two tries came courtesy of Reuben Tamariki, who spearheaded the Palm Beach Currumbin forward pack all day and earned himself a double thanks to some brilliant hole running.

“He’s had his best season this year, he really dug deep at times when we needed him and he did a great job today,” Maccan said.

The Reds coach was equally impressed with Marley Igasan, who had been absent from the side for the past three weeks.

“He was unbelievable, he played almost a whole game …. he’s been training his butt off in our extended group, he was amazing.”

PBC had led for much of the second half until Pats Blacktown five-eighth and co-captain Jared Haywood turned the match on its head in a matter of minutes with two superb cut out passes to set up back-to-back tries.

His first floater sent gun lock Tyson Sangalang under the posts, before he broke apart the Reds edge defence in a matter of seconds as he slowed himself to draw in the defence before picking out Riddle.

It’s no wonder Dragons coach Shane Flanagan rates front-rower Jacob Halangahu so highly given he delivered bruising run after bruising run through the middle and drove his side into very dangerous territory.

The loss continues a sorry streak for the proud Sydney school, who have just a lone national title to show for eight national final appearances.

For Maccan, a simple age-old cliche told him everything he needed to know. And it was one that proved hard to argue with come full-time.

“I just told the boys that (Patrician) have a lot of individual champions in their team,” he said.

“But we’re a champion team and that’ll always beat it.”

Position: Backrow, NRL club: Dragons

The most damaging player in schoolboys rugby league. Halangahu has a competitive fire that cannot be extinguished. He will hit hard and run even harder, keep an eye out for a game-changing offload.

While he is definitely in a mould of his own, the Dragons SG Ball winner plays a similar game to Titans big man David Fifita.

Position: Halfback, NRL club: Titans

The mercurial halfback will make a welcome return for Palm Beach Currumbin in the national final after his well-publicised absence from the state final due to concussion. The Titans have just extended the young gun’s contract in a sign of just what he brings to the party. A natural leader on the field, he will have a hand in everything PBC does.

Lachlan Coinakis, Patrician Brothers Blacktown

Position: Hooker, NRL club: Eels

The Eels young gun plays eyes up football behind the ruck, and will be able to spot an issue with the markers before they realise there is one. Every play for the Patties side begins with Coinakis, and the Australian Schoolboys representative will be determined to get them on the front foot early.

Sam Stephenson, Palm Beach Currumbin

Position: Centre, NRL club: Titans

The damaging ballrunner can be even more damaging without it.

The Titans young gun, who spent a pre-season with their NRL side last Summer, has been a revelation out wide for Palm Beach Currumbin in recent years.

He was also part of the Queensland Under-19 Origin squad this year and picked in the Australian Schoolboys side.

Jhett Sydir, Patrician Brothers, Blacktown

Position: Halfback, NRL club: Panthers

He hasn’t played a game of rugby league in more than two months, but don’t expect Sydir to be putting the handbrake on in this one.

He targeted the national final as his return, and will be desperate to deliver that premiership glory to his school in his final year. Possesses a strong running game and will be the chief organiser for the Patties attack.

Westfields smash PBC

Schoolboys Cup live stream: Palm Beach Currumbin v Westfields Sports High, national final

Westfields are the Australian Schoolboys champions after producing an opening 40 minutes that gave Palm Beach Currumbin no chance of recovery.

Watch a full replay of Westfields SHS v Palm Beach Currumbin.

The team who have made come-from-behind victories their specialty all season didn’t need the inspiration of a comeback this time.

Westfields saved their best until last, racing out to a 26-0 halftime lead, then withstanding a brief comeback and finally charging home to put the seal on one of the most dominant National Schoolboys final victories of all time.

With five eighth Lachlan Galvin pulling the strings, Westfields hammered Gold Coast school Palm Beach Currumbin 38-4 to claim their second national title.

GALVIN STEPS UP TO INSPIRE BIG WESTFIELDS SUCCESS

Westfields coach Troy Weeden said he was ‘relieved’ at the result.

“The boys knew what they needed to do,” Weeden said.

“Having that extra week to recover after the final really helped the boys so they could just go in and focus on their football.”

Galvin’s performance secured him both the player of the match and player of the season awards and Weeden said he wasn’t surprised with the accolades.

“Lachie Galvin did what Lachie Galvin does,” he said.

“He’s a competitor, he’s a winner and he showed that in the first half particularly.”

Galvin was on fire in the opening half, scoring two tries as Westfields raced out to a 12-0 lead just over 10 minutes into the match.

He would have scored a third shortly after following a strong run from Will Craig, but fumbled the offload.

Dion Paranthoiene-Williams added another try for Westfields in the 22nd minute, followed by a try right on the buzzer from Sosefo Finau.

Five goals from Roy Quiroz-Mapasua, including a late penalty goal, gave Westfields the unassailable halftime break.

The Queenslanders finally put themselves on the scoreboard to open the second half with Credence Donovan scoring following solid offensive pressure from his team.

Westfields seemed to lack the same power they had in the first half and fumbled multiple opportunities.

But Galvin rallied his troops as he brilliantly teamed with Craig to set up a try for Hosea Kedzlie with 10 minutes remaining.

Markuzz Ofanoa and Saint Fuitimau added two more tries late on to put an emphatic note on the success.

While their slow starts have threatened to hamper Westfields, the young squad possesses a confidence and belief that they have the ability to win games from any position.

Erindale knock-out reigning premiers to advance to PMC Finals

Erindale knock-out reigning premiers

Erindale College have eliminated the reigning Peter Mulholland Cup premiers, Patrician Brothers Fairfield, defeating them 22-10 at Seiffert Oval to advance to the quarter finals.

Erindale centre Mark Tuialii was a standout for the red, black and white, proving a handful on the right-edge and scoring the match sealing try.

Erindale will now cruise through to the quarter finals of the 2023 competition undefeated, beating out Patrician Brothers, Illawarra SHS and Matraville SHS.

The ACT side started the game in perfect fashion, gaining early field position to strike on the right edge through Dakai Lilo-Bolatagaci to crack the first points.

After some solid Fairfield defence, Erindale finally cracked through for their second of the day, this time Sam Gash linking up with the opposite centre Peter Soward to extend their lead to 8-nil.

Erindale left the door ajar after an impressive first half, making a mistake coming out of trouble to give Patrician Brothers an opportunity.

Fairfield made them pay, Saia Alatini crashing over in the final minutes to close the gap to 8-6 at the halftime break.

Erindale coach Ash Barnes fired his boys up at halftime and they responded early, pouncing on a Fairfield mistake to open the scoring in the second half through Xavier Cacciotti.

Gash had an off day with the boot, missing his first three shots at conversion, leaving the scores 12-6 after 33 minutes.

Patrician Brothers fought their way back in the game, yet again making Erindale pay for an unforced error with Jezia Tua’au going over in the corner, closing the score to 12-10.

The match entered an arm-wrestle for the next ten minutes with both sides showing fight and some outstanding scrambling defence.

But it was the man of the match who broke the deadlock, Mark Tuialii, who received some early ball from Mitchell Brophy to show his speed and footwork to score in the corner.

Gash’s conversion waved away, holding a tight 16-10 lead with six minutes to go.

Fairfield attempted a short kick-off but it was defused by the Erindale defence before giving away back-to-back penalties which killed their chances of a comeback.

Halfback Ethan Alaia put the game to bed, springing off his left-foot to beat four defenders and score the match winner in an incredible individual effort.

Gash got a great cheer from the crowd as he converted the try to extend Erindale’s lead to 22-10 at fulltime.

Hills win last minute thriller

Peter Mulholland Cup live stream: Hills Sports face Patrician Brothers, Blacktown in big gun match-up

The search for a first win of 2023 goes on for Patrician Brothers, Blacktown after Hills Sports down to pull off an impressive NRL Schoolboys Cup win. Relive the action. Check out the photos.

Watch a full replay as Hills Sports v Patrician Brothers Blacktown.

An electric atmosphere in what was one of the matches of the tournament so far resulted in a stunning come-from-behind victory for Hills Sports High School.

Last year’s runners-up didn’t have the lead until the final minutes of the game when Lincoln Fletcher expertly guided over two penalty goals under pressure for a 16-12 win.

Fletcher said he felt ‘relief’ seeing them both go through.

“I’ve never had a moment like that before,” Fletcher said.

Hills have now won two out of two.

It was quite the comeback for last year’s runners up.

“But I knew I had to take my time and it turned out well in the end there.”

The scores were locked at 0-0 for most of the first half, with both sides frequently coming up short on their attacking moves.

Pats Blacktown broke the deadlock in the 24th minute, with Tyson Sangalang pushing through to the tryline for the first points of the game.

Heinz Lemoto added to the lead minutes later and two perfect conversions from Dylan Brettle gave Pats a solid 12-0 buffer heading into halftime.

Fletcher said coach Scott Jones didn’t mince his words at the break.

“Copped it at halftime,” Fletcher said.

“We just weren’t to our standard, the boys knew we had to dig deep.”

Hills came out after the break determined and it didn’t take them long to halve their deficit thanks to a try from Lorenzo Talatania, which was expertly converted by Fletcher.

Talatania was instrumental in their second as well, dodging Pats defenders before a brilliant offload to Matt Aitchison levelled the scores 12-12 late in the match.

Hills were gifted two late penalties from Pats’ indiscretions, with Fletcher once again showing his worth and converting both.

Hills will face Westfields Sports High School in their final pool match to determine who takes top spot of the seeded pool, but Fletcher said the preparation will be the same as any other game.

“We’ll go back to training, do our individual stuff,” he said.

“And hopefully when we take on Westfields, we’ll be up for it.”

PREVIEW

After last year’s heroics, Hills Sports coach Shane Jones obviously has high standards.

Pipped at the post in last year’s NRL Schoolboys grand final, Hills began 2023 with a 36-16 demolition of Endeavour Sports High, but it wasn’t enough to impress Jones.

Hills Sports, who next face Patrician Brothers, Blacktown on Wednesday, were far from the finished product, according to the coach.

“We’ve done a fair bit of review and identified some areas we need to be a lot better in,” Jones said.

The match will be available to stream LIVE on KommunityTV from midday at Ringrose Park as part of a blockbuster day of matches, including reigning champions Patrician Brothers, Fairfield taking on Illawarra Sports High School.

Patties’ season got off to a disappointing start, going down to Westfields Sports, who produced an outstanding come-from-behind victory in the second half.

But Jones was wary of the Patties threat, even declaring ‘they are the favourites’ for the big second round match.

“With the team that they have, they are going to be hard to beat” he said.

Na’oia Tofaeano scored a double for Hills in their opener against Endeavour.

“I thought they were the better team for most of that game against Westfields but didn’t get the result, so I know they’re going to be hungry.

“We need to just make sure we stop their roll through the middle, it was an area we were quite poor at with Endeavour.”

Jones missed the last game against Endeavour due to illness, and assistant coach Mitchell Lewis had similar sentiments after the match.

“If we want to be really serious about this competition, we can’t be conceding 18 points every week,” Lewis said.

Patties add another half century

Illawarra SHS host Patrician Brothers Fairfield

Peter Mulholland Cup live stream: Illawarra Sports High host Patrician Brothers, Fairfield in big match-up

That’s over 100 points in two games now for the defending NRL Schoolboys champions who have set their sights on a pivotal showdown with Erindale next month.

Watch a full replay as Illawarra Sports v Patrician Brothers Fairfield.

Patrician Brothers, Fairfield have blown Illawarra off the park in a 58-10 demolition at Sid Parrish Oval.

The defending premiers were simply the hungrier of the two sides, overpowering Illawarra with their intensity and strong post-contact metres all game.

Defensively as well Patties were resolute, unlike the Illawarra who will be kicking themselves for a number of costly missed tackles.

Lock forward Bailey Myers, who picked up a double, was pleased with his side’s attitude throughout the match.

“The boys played really well considering we had a few out injured,” Myers said.

“We stuck to our plan and got the job done.”

Myers highlighted the efforts of fill-in halfback Brandon Navarro as crucial to his side’s success.

The workrates of Patties second rowers Nevaeh Pritchard and Jezaiah Funa-Luta were second to none, both heavily involving themselves and making some tough carries through the middle of the park.

Hooker Zaidas Muagututia had the ball on a string all days as he picked up an impressive four assists, twice to lock Myers and twice to rampaging interchange forward Livai Saukuru, the last of which was a beautiful flick pass for the highlight reel.

Junior Fagelele picked up an excellent solo try from centre, breaking through a hole down the right flank with a mean dummy and racing half the field to score.

Skilful five-eighth Chad Daniels, highlighted by coach Frank Pritchard as one to watch, also got on the scoresheet and picked up an assist to Ratu Cayuqueo.

It wasn’t all gloom for the Illawarra, with both wingers Ben Kami and Ben Binene finishing tries in opposite corners to break the Pattie’s defence for the first time this year.

Overall though, a convincing win for Patrician Brothers Fairfield who piled on 11 tries and remain strong contenders on this year’s competition.

PREVIEW

Patrician Brothers, Fairfield aren’t getting caught up in scorelines.

Patties picked up right where they left off in 2022 with their opening game 56-0 demolition of Matraville.

Their next opponent, Illawarra Sports High, on the other hand, were totally outplayed by Erindale, going down 38-8.

Despite the massive round one points discrepancy, the defending NRL Schoolboys champions are wary of the dangers Illawarra possess, particularly their ‘middles and edges’.

Patrician Brothers coach Frank Pritchard identified the strength of his spine players as big contributors to their productivity in attack in the first round, namely five-eighth Chad Daniels who had a super opening round performance.

“The confidence we showed early last week was great,” he said.

“We went out with the intention of trying to be defensively really strong to start the game, which we were, and ended up coming away with a big scoreline.”

But Pritchard believes there’s still room for his side to improve if they want to retain their crown in 2023.

“We had a few too many set incompletions for our liking, especially after scoring a try,” Prichard said.

Patties were great in both defence and attack against Matraville

“Luckily we were good defensively and we weren’t punished for this.”

Illawarra struggled to get the ball into attacking areas against a resolute Erindale side last week, but Pritchard knows his side will have to be at their best.

“We watched their game – we know we have to focus on stopping their middles and their edges,” Pritchard said.

One such middle that stood out for Illawarra last week was damaging front rower Palu Tuasala who was proving difficult to handle even for a solid defensive side like Erindale.

As for the edges, Harry Wililo has the x-factor to do damage from centre, as he showed with one of his side’s tries against Erindale.

“If we let them get to work, we could be in for a tough afternoon.”

Yarrabah sensation Gabriel Satrick caps massive year with Peter Sterling Medal

Gabriel Satrick has reached the highest heights in schoolboys footy but it was a single moment last year which has spurred his rapid rise.

Replay: Langer Trophy grand final -…

Watch a full replay as Ipswich SHS vs Palm Beach Currumbin SHS.

There was a moment at the end of last year’s Langer Trophy campaign where everything changed for Ipswich State High gun Gabriel Satrick.

The boy from Yarrabah, who gave up everything he knew and a comfortable life back home to chase an NRL dream, realised what he was doing wasn’t cutting it.

The 17-year-old described it as not just a change of routine, or game plan, he believed it was an entire mindset shift.

One that has put him in rarefied company.

The dynamic dummy-half capped off his incredible breakout schoolboys league campaign on Wednesday when he was named the Peter Sterling Medallist as the best player in the NRL Schoolboys Cup this season.

RE-WATCH THE NRL SCHOOLBOYS CUP GRAND FINAL

The Peter Sterling medal, which is determined by points system across the entire finals series.

The winners list reads like a who’s who of rugby league royalty including Sterling, Ben Elias, Greg Alexander, Jason Taylor, Adam Reynolds and in more recent years Payne Haas, David Fifita and Tom Dearden.

The medal win capped off a fantastic year for Satrick which included winning the NRL Schoolboys Cup with Ipswich, the Australian Secondary Schools Championships with Queensland and being named in the Australian Schoolboys team which tours Fiji next month.

But by his admission, it took hitting rock bottom before he could rise to the top.

“Last year, we lost in the semi-finals (of the Langer Trophy) to Marsden (State High), I felt so bad about it,” Satrick said.

“I had to change that.

“My whole mindset changed, I did everything 100 per cent, and I worked as hard as I could. I had a really big pre-season, I wanted to get my fitness up and just work hard.

“It feels good (to be where I am), it is hectic.”

Each day as he slogged it out in the unforgiving Queensland heat over the summer, it didn’t take much for Satrick to stay motivated.

He had a devoted family 1500 kilometres away who had sacrificed everything to give him a chance.

“My mum and dad would be very proud of me, they sent me down here crying to chase my goal. I did this for them,” he said.

“They couldn’t make it down (for the grand final), because of work and stuff. But I know they would have been watching from home. The whole family would have been together watching from one house.

“I don’t know when I get to go back home, but I know everyone will be there when I do.”

Ipswich State High coach Josh Brethereton couldn’t hide his pride in the playmaker who was a key part of their 32-6 triumph over NSW juggernaut Patrician Brothers Fairfield.

“He is the discovery of the year, he has had an unbelievable season and should be immensely proud of what he has achieved,” Brethereton said.

“To have his name as a Peter Sterling Medallist, is just an incredible thing. When you go back and look at the list of the names on that medal, it is very high class and he has just joined rare air as far as schoolboy footy is concerned.”

Ipswich too good in Schoolboy Cup National Final

National Schoolboy Cup Live Stream: Watch Ipswich v Patrician Brothers in interstate derby

An incredible year of firsts for Ipswich State High has culminated in the ultimate reward – the national schoolboys title – after a big win over Patrician Brothers, Fairfield.

Watch the replay of the NRL National Schoolboys Cup – Patrician Brothers Fairfield v Ipswich State High

Ipswich SHS wrote the final chapter in its Cinderella Season by beating Patrician Brothers Fairfield 32-6 to claim the coveted NRL Schoolboys Cup final at Redcliffe.

It was Ipswich SHS’s third grand final win in four weeks following earlier historic victories in the Langer Trophy and then the Phil Hall Cup state final.

Captain Josiah Pahulu wrote both the foreword and was one of the main characters in his team’s storybook winter and spring that has been unmatched in Ipswich SHS’s history.

The old school of Broncos and Queensland champion Allan Langer and current Sharks star Ronaldo Mulitalo, Ipswich SHS has a proud league history, but this milestone moment must be top of the pops.

Winning coach Joshua Bretherton said Patrician Brothers Fairfield came hard at them down the middle and he was proud his side withstood the challenge.

Ipswich SHS are the world Schoolboy Rugby League Champions

“Under fire and under seige, against a team which plays brutal, high intensity football, the ability of my guys to keep their heads, calm and focused is what I am most proud of,” he said.

“And across the final series we have shown an ability to play with speed, to terrify people with the speed in which we move forward.’’

Patrician Brothers Fairfield, the NSW school champions, came to play, don’t worry, with a ruthless power game and challenged the fitness and toughness and desire of the Ipswich SHS pack.

One after another Patrician Brothers came at their rivals, mixing their forward challenge with dummy half scurries. It was a far closer game than the scores indicate.

But there could only be one winner and Ipswich SHS, unbeaten this year, found their way to the winners post as they have done all season.

Patrician Brothers coach Frank Pritchard said his team had climbed a mountain to get to grand final day and were simply beaten by a better side.

“It has been a roller coaster,’’ Pritchard said.

“It has been a great achievement for our team and what we have done for the school, but today, I have no excuses.

“We were just beaten by a better team.

“To Ipswich’s credit they were just the better team.’’

“We have not been here for 30 years and what these guys have done is awesome.

“I am proud of them. We came up against a side like Ipswich who produced a class performance.’’

Ipswich SHS caught out Patrician Brothers Fairfield twice in the opening minutes of both halves, both left edge spreads which resulted in centre Tre Fotu scoring (2nd minute) and winger Anton Naiyep (32nd minute) crossing.

Naiyep finish was classic wingers play, with the No.5 pinning his ears back and sprinting 35m to the corner despite three late comers crashing him toward the corner post.

The hammer blow then came three minutes later when the discovery player of the season, Ipswich SHS dummy half Gabriel Satrick, feasted on possession to score after a charge down had restarted the tackle count.

Although 24 minutes remained, 22-0 was a long way back for Patrician Brothers Fairfield.

Patrician Brothers Fairfield did score next – the power game yielding a try for a scurrying Yehya Ayache – and they were back in business.

But with 13 minutes remaining Satrick’s dummy half sidekick, Tommy Luhrman, launched at the line like he was starting off in a 100m freestyle swimming race, finding the line to score.

At 28-6 the result was settled. Everyone was just waiting on the final score.

It was a battle royale across the opening 30 minutes as both teams pounded each other in the middle third.

Patrician Brothers Fairfield were hellbent on beating their man in the middle with a power game and running off the back of that with dummy half darts.

It was effective, although Ipswich SHS did curtail the running game of prop giant Jordan Miller and, to a lesser degree, the aggressive running of left edge back rower and captain Joshua Alhazim.

Ipswich SHS held on, but as the game progressed in warm conditions, you sensed a fatigue factor could come into play for both sides.

And so it was the case six minutes before halftime when Ipswich SHS halfback Jalen Afamasaga speared through a gap almost as wide as the Sydney Heads to score after a quick tap and run from a penalty.

It was Ipswich’s second try after an early, successful charge at the line by Tre Fotu.

There was a huge moment 90 seconds before halftime when Ipswich right edge forward Oliva Iaulualo extended his arm to score, but had the ball knocked out, saving Patrician Brothers Fairfield from a 16-0 deficit.

Earlier, in the opening minutes, Ipswich SHS wasted no time in playing footy, casting aside any thought of a nervous, conservative opening by sweeping the ball right and then left, leading to centre Fotu scoring in the corner.

It would have taken a prime mover to halt the big Queensland centre who came on the burst with such ferocity, there was no stopping him. It was 4-0.

Patrician Brothers fullback Junior Fagalel then doused a dangerous situation when he grasped Ipswich winger Kulu Baruani who almost kicked clear to score after snaring an attacking bomb.
