KIRWAN State High School’s senior team will be playing for more than the school’s honour when they take on Mackay State High School in the Aaron Payne Cup on Wednesday.

The side will be wearing special jerseys with a splash of purple as they show their support for the school’s LGBTIQA+ community.

A big crowd is expected for the match which kicks off at 12pm on Wednesday and hooker Hoani Harris, 17, explained just why the team was carrying out the initiative.

“The reason behind wearing purple is for Wear It Purple Day,” he said.

“Wear It Purple Day is this year on August 26. But we bought the initiative forward to do it this Wednesday, due to a big home game.

“So essentially the whole school will be out watching us and we’re representing the LGBTIQA+ community within Kirwan High.

Hoani Harris, Terell Anderson and Vinjenzo Winterstein from the Kirwan Bears

“We are honoured to wear these jerseys and also just honoured to bring a voice to those that don’t have a voice and are unable to speak out.

“We just want make them feel more comfortable in the community around us and bring energy and real support to everyone.”

Fullback Vinjenzo Winterstein, 17, the brother of former Cowboys star Antonio, added: “We have students from all around the world, different countries, different cultures. We have a diverse community, and our aim is to be inclusive.

“It means a lot to us boys to be able to wear these jerseys for Wear It Purple Day, and to also help raise awareness for our LGBTQIA+ group which is called the True Colours.

“Not only does this give them opportunity to be included, but also gives a voice to those who don’t have one.”

After a mammoth seven-week break from football, coach Nathan Norford expected his Kirwan side to be tested by a Macaky State High School outfit who pushed polished cross-town rivals St Patrick’s in their last meeting.

With rust and fitness all in play, Norford admitted Kirwan’s run to the Aaron Payne Cup finals could hit a rocky start without a top effort.

“We’ve been focusing on making sure our individuals are up to standard with our fitness and individual skills,” Norford said.

“We needed to get together as a team to finetune things because term three is a big one for any schoolboy and we want to be on top of it from the start, if we can.

“(Mackay) is obviously a stronghold of rugby league in Queensland so we need to be on top of our game to make sure we can execute, because they look like a grinding team.”

The loss of centre Riwha Walden to a shoulder injury will be mitigated by the timely return of Cowboys-contracted Jerramaine Nean, who will slot into the right centre position seamlessly.

Wear It Purple Day was first started in Australia on October 15, 2010 and was founded by Katherine Hudson and Scott Williams.

Supporters wear purple to celebrate diversity and young people from the LGBTIQA+ community.

Kirwan vs Iggy Park 2022 Kirwan vs Ignatius Park College in Aaron Payne Cup and Cowboys Challenge

The Aaron Payne Cup is back with a blockbuster grudge match between Townsville rivals Ignatius Park College and Kirwan SHS.

Watch the Aaron Payne and Cowboys Challenge replays here.

COWBOYS-contracted prop Henry Teutau was the toast of Ignatius Park College after scoring in the dying minutes to tie with arch-rivals Kirwan State High 22-all in the opening match of the 2022 Aaron Payne Cup.

With 10 NRL contracted players on the field split evenly between the side, the fixture was a rollicking testament to the bright future of North Queensland rugby league.

WATCH AARON PAYNE CUP REPLAY IN PLAYER ABOVE

Teutau’s 67th minute charge brought about the first draw between these sides in a decade.

Not since Valentine Holmes last patrolled the backfield for Ignatius Park in 2012 for an 11-all draw has there been a closer match between these fierce rivals.

On the brightest stage stepped up Teutau, the hulking prop who has set his sights on an NRL debut for North Queensland.

With less than five minutes to play his gallop through the heart of the Kirwan defence erased a six-point deficit to equalise scores.

Ignatius Park halfback Matthew Turner could have blown the roof off Brothers Leagues Club had his ambitious left-footed field goal attempt from 40m out struck true.

Kirwan’s task to run 100m to score in their final set proved impossible.

The draw salvaged a frustrating afternoon for Ignatius Park, who let slip four opportunities inside Kirwan’s 10m zone with two knock-ons, an obstruction penalty and a double movement call.

The class of the blue-and-white middle forward trio of Teutau, Broncos-contracted Shibasaki and uncontracted Jamaine Stanley proved decisive in the comeback effort to draw and throughout the entire match.

Prop Stanley opened the scoring in the fourth minute when a superb no-look pass from hooker Diesel Jacobsen found the prop on fifth tackle, bamboozling the defence to deliver a clear run to the line.

Queensland Schoolboys representative Elekana Suavai, cutting an eerily-similiar figure to former Kirwan weapon Jeremiah Nanai, answered with a powerful four-pointer to wrestle back the lead 6-4.

Before Iggy Park could blink Kirwan were back celebrating when Suavai’s centre partner Rifa Walden burst through the line to extend the margin to 12-4 after 16 minutes.

There were ominous signs for Ignatius Park until another Cowboys-contracted flyer, winger Teke Meneulu, produced the highlight of the first half.

Sharp footwork and incredible breakaway speed produced an 80m runaway spectacular almost completed untouched by the defence.

Kirwan interchange hooker Braith Dowson’s opportunistic try took the half-time score to 18-10.

Izaya Leedie for Iggy and Terry Connors for Kirwan traded tries to set the stage for Teutau’s highlight-reel match-saver.

Multiple sets wore down the defence for Teutau to blast open a hole.

WATCH COWBOYS CHALLENGE REPLAY HERE

KIRWAN has drawn first blood in the Cowboys Challenge U15 competition, stopping an Ignatius Park College fightback in its tracks to prevail 26-10 at Jack Manski Oval.

The Bears were ruthless in punishing Iggy Park errors in a rivalry clash to open the new season, with classy Queensland junior represenatives Cohenn Dittman and Diesel Taylor leading the charge.

MATCH PREVIEW

THE Aaron Payne Cup is back with a blockbuster schoolboy rugby league grudge match between Townsville rivals Ignatius Park College and Kirwan State High School set to ignite festivities on Wednesday afternoon.

The highly anticipated clash has been marked on both school calendars since pre-season began late last year, with a host of emerging stars set to play in front of Townsville Bulletin cameras for the first time.

Five NRL pathway products will take the field for the Kirwan Bears while another five will face them down in the blue and white of Ignatius Park.

It is the greatest concentration of junior footballing talent on one field in North Queensland at present, but only one player.

Kirwan centre Elekana Suavai, playing in his first derby match since transferring from Rockhampton’s The Cathedral College – has been selected to represent the Queensland Under-18s.

That rankles Broncos-contracted Jamal Shibasaki, who declared he and his teammates will harness their snubbings as fuel.

Shibasaki, Iggy’s co-captain and starting lock, and Cowboys-contracted prop Henry Teutau, are the twin-diesel engines powering the Ignatius Park pack.

Their charge off the back fence for the opening hit-up or tackle of the game will be even more seismic as they battle to prove to selectors tuning in to the Bulletin livestream they got it wrong leaving them out of the Maroons.

“I know me and a lot of the other boys who were in the NQ side know what we’ve got to do now,” Shibasaki said.

We know we missed out but that doesn’t mean anything

“We know we missed out but that doesn’t mean anything. We still have to be the best we can be and now it’s just a step-up.”

Shibasaki will take on the Bears for the second time in Aaron Payne Cup action at 4.45pm but is well-versed in the rivalry’s traditions.

His elder brother Gehamat was a star in Ignatius Park’s 2014 and 2015 teams, who graduated with a 1-2 record against the Bears.

“They told me how aggressive these games and how smart you need to play to win,” he said.

“Versing Kirwan is like a whole other level, you’re not just playing another game – this is the game you want to play and you don’t want to leave anything in the tank.”

Kirwan and Ignatius Park coaches Nathan Norford and Steve Lansley both agree.

“These are the matches the boys remember for the rest of their lives,” Lansley said.

The next generation of Aaron Payne Cup players will also tackle their rivals in the U15 Cowboys Challenge, a 3.30pm curtain-raiser that will also be live-streamed by the Bulletin.

Reece Walsh and Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow have blazed into the NRL like comets across the night sky. So who is next to come out of the Langer-Payne systems?

Just four schoolboys set to shine this season.

Reece Walsh (Keebra Park SHS) and Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow (Kirwan SHS) have blazed into the NRL like comets across the night sky. So who is next to come out of the Langer-Payne systems?

Add recent NRL debutants Heilum Luki (Cairns SHS) and TC Robati (Marsden SHS) to the list of high achievers and you get an idea of the elite talent which pours out of the Langer Trophy and Payne Cups, and associated competitions like the Gee Cup.

Hooker Jai Hansen will captain TCC in their opening Aaron Payne Cup game against St Brendan’s College today..

Here we give you an armchair guide to some of the best young players you will see over the next three months on our livestreaming service when up to 150 games a week are streamed in News Corp’s biggest Queensland junior sporting livestream deal.

There are other elite schoolboy rookies like Mikael Ibrahim (St Laurence’s), Zack Lamont (Churchie), Rory Bath and Liam Le Blanc (both Nudgee College), Nic Hilton and Kaleb Ngamanu (both TSS) within other school systems, but so many emerge from Langer and Payne Cup systems.

Walters Cup action.

KIRWAN SHS

Watch for outside back excitement machines Ragarive Wavik and Dudley Dutoi to light up the competition. Both were outstanding in the Meninga Cup with the Blackhawks, while the explosive power of Dutoi helped play his way into the Queensland 16-18 years merit side. Will Latu will captain his side and be a powerful middle forward. His speed and footwork along with his size makes him hard to handle.

REDCLIFFE SHS

Redcliffe’s Gee Cup campaign will be spearheaded by inspiring prop Matthew Bennett, while watch for his right hand man Kiahl Moore, Jonathan Maller and Braith Major to help the squad rebound from the disappointment of narrowly missing a Langer Trophy berth. Kiahl Moore is like a young Josh McGuire, touch and uncompromising.

Redcliffe’s Matthew Bennett and Kiahl Moore

IGNATIUS PARK COLLEGE

Luke Jack and Tom Duffy enter the Payne Cup in great form after last week being selected in the Queensland 16-18 years merit team. Luke is a non-stop worker providing rugged defence and metres in attack while Duffy is an effective organiser and leads the side.

QRL: Mal Meninga Cup U18’s – Townsville Blackhawks Harley Taylor and Tom Duffy ahead of the 2021 Grand Final. Picture: Alix Sweeney

Also watch for Damon Marshall who is explosive in both attack and defence. Cuthane Hill provides speed and scoring ability from the fullback position. Tremaine Body has built on extensive preparation in 2020 to become a try scoring winger.

The Cathedral College’s Riley Hall

THE CATHEDRAL COLLEGE

TCC will be littered with hardened campaigners from the Capras’ giant killing run through the recent Meninga Cup competition. Watch for Cowboys signing, Jai Hansen who is hooker and co-captain. He shares the leadership with the versatile Tyler Conroy, a Canberra Raiders acquisition. Another Raiders’ signing is Tom Powell, a strong defensive middle forward. Edge backrwoer Riley Hall, also off to the Cowboys, will look to continue his Meninga Cup form while a big outside back from Cairns with Torres Strait and Samoan heritage – Elekana Suavai – will be a player to watch. The Raiders are very keen on him.

MARSDEN SHS

There is a lot to like about Marsden SHS this season after an inexperienced outfit struggled in 2020. Many of those players are back, wiser for the experience. One who will benefit from last season is clever hooker Tyree Bowman, while Chris Faagutu has the honour of being captain in 2021. Marsden SHS have a couple of wildcard players, but nothing would work for them without a workhorse like Kienan Tempest in the team.

Wynnum player Kienan Tempest is a leading forward for Marsden SHS. Picture, John Gass

Flashy he is not, but he is the type of forward Craig Bellamy and Wayne Bennett would love in their side.

PALM BEACH CURRUMBIN SHS

Hold onto your hats, the Tom Weaver-Oskar Bryant show is back in town. The halfback-hooker combination is almost unbeatable and again will feature this season. Both boys grew up on the NSW north coast and both have Gold Coast Titans contracts. PBC also have a thrilling centre prospect, Broncos-signed Deine Mariner who last week was named player of the QRSSSL carnival. He was of course named in the Queensland 16-18 years merit side.

MABEL PARK SHS

Mustafa Kaya will be a steadying influence at the back for Mabel Park SHS in its debut Langer Cup season. A clever outside back, he will be chatting away, organising his side. Closer to the forwards Brayden Easthope will work away and his versatility will come in handy across the season. Also put a watch on hardworking Fahmy Jerusalem Toilalo who cuts an inspiring figure.

Marsden SHS’s Queensland Leon Te Hau.

ALEXANDRA HILLS SHS

Halfback and captain Cooper Hersom has an outstanding kicking game and his direction will be key in the Gee Cup. Wynnum Seagulls Connell Challenge fullback Zyroam Herlihy, who is Titans contracted, is also a talent along with his cousin and hooker Gary Herlihy. Te Anau Graham-Papali’i, contracted by South Sydney, was also a strong ball runner and defender along with middle forward Tieran Ross.

SHALOM COLLEGE

Shalom will be captained by Zander Kerr, who will be the team five-eighth. “Shalom College is very proud to be officially part of the competition though and we look to gain the respect of our peers during each game,’’ said rugby league co-ordinator Neil Feather.

ST PATRICK’S COLLEGE, Mackay

Brady Hazledine will be a second year fullback for St Pat’s. Small in stature but big in toughness and heart, he is dynamic and can run the ball as well as ball play. Ethan Cocco is another returning player who is a middle forward. He runs hard and tackles hard and has a big engine. Baden Robinson can alternate between the middle or on an edge. Robinson has some very nice ball skills and runs a very good line.

A star was born at the QRSSSL carnival last week when Met West prop DJ Talaepa almost single-handedly turned the 14-15 years grand final with an elite front row performance. A big lad with pace and skill, he was a great find at the state carnival.

He may remain within his age group playing in Walters Cup and not Gee Cup, but mark his name down. At fullback for Forest Lake SHS’s Gee Cup side is Denzel Samoa. Samoa is class, pure class, and will be a handful.

Josiah Pahulu Picture: Nev Madsen

IPSWICH SHS

Kulikefu Finefeuiaki will be an inspiring figure for Ipswich. The Queensland representative second rower has already been snapped up by the North Queensland Cowboys on a three year deal. He is tall and dynamic who carries the ball aggressively. Ipswich have plenty going for them this season, but it will be a comfort for the side to have middle forward Josiah Pahulu back again for season 2021. A Gold Coast Titans signing, he won the MVP for the Ipswich SHS Langer Cup team as a 16-year-old prop last year.

ST BRENDAN’S YEPPOON

Halfback Owen Pattie is a genuine game managing No.7 who loves to compete. One to benefit from Pattie’s game will be fullback Matthew Hill, an AFL convert that is dangerous in the air. He is an electric fullback who has been signed by the Brisbane Broncos. Hooker William Lasker is a strong defender who has earnt the “Hectic Cheese” nickname like Storm’s Brendan Smith. Like Hill, Lasker has an interesting background in that he came to St Brendan’s from Darwin to develop his league.

KEEBRA PARK SHS

Big Herman Tofaeono and his dummy half Blake Mozer made the Queensland 16-18 years merit side last week. A Wests Tigers BRL recruit, Tofaeono is hitting his straps. Mozer is a gun hooker, a big body with all the skills who has been snapped up by the Broncos.

COOMBABAH SHS

The school captain, Tim Sielaff-Burns was a powerful ball runner who loved to get involved from fullback. He is a renowned competitor who brings a lot of experience to the side. Signed by the Gold Coast Titans, Joseph Shannon will be a leader of the pack again in 2021.

EMMAUS COLLEGE

Solomone Lopeti enters the competition in prime form playing out wide on an edge while Jack Millgate will be a front rower laying the platform. The versatile lock Khye Russell will play five eight after answering an SOS due to injury. “But this is familiar territory for Khye having played in the halves before,’’ said Justen Parle, Sport Development Officer

ST MARY’S COLLEGE

Both Brisbane Broncos contracted props, the Va’a brothers will lead the way playing front row alongside each other. This will be Xavier’s third season in the Langer Cup, while little brother De La Salle will be in his first season in Langer Cup. In the backs Riley Wockner is match hardened, coming off a Mal Meninga Cup campaign with the Mustangs.

Prinston Esera, fourth from the left in the green Met North shirt, while Blake Mozer (Keebra Park) and Tom Weaver (PBC), far left, next to each other. They all made the Qld 16-18 year merit side.

WAVELL SHS

A centre, Prinston Esera made the Queensland 16-18 years merit side named last week. This will be his third season in the seniors, and opponents will see a bigger, stronger version of the 2019-2020 player – all the while retaining the stylish running which is so threatening to opponents. Wavell always have quality No.9s and Tyrell Waaka-Rhind will be no exception. He is smart, dynamic and very skilful.
