All Saints final shot at Schoolboys Cup glory against Patrician Brothers Fairfield

Fresh off a thrilling 10-10 draw, All Saint’s, Maitland are a attempting to convert their form into their first victory. Watch the NRL Schoolboys Cup LIVE at 11am, Wednesday.

Watch a full replay as Hunter Sports vs St Gregory’s College.

All Saints, Maitland will feel double the pressure, heading into their third and final game without a win under their belt and against a school which head of sport Elliott Plank deems as a “massive challenge.”

The winless All Saints will have their hands full against a Patrician Brothers Fairfield side that is fresh after having the past month off the park.

The match will be exclsuively live streamed by KommunityTV from 11am, Wednesday.

Patrician Brothers have not played since the opening day of the NRL Schoolboys Cup when they romped home to a 64-0 win over Farrer MAHS.

Despite this, with a bit of home ground advantage and the skill of Knights development players Nick Tuliatu and hooker Khynan Butler, Plank hopes to “put on a display for the people of the community who have been affected by the flood.”

All Saints will also receive a major boost to their chances with the return of representative duo lock forward Myles Martin and front rower Caleb Garvie.

The pair were part of the NSW Combined Catholic Colleges side that made it into the semi-finals of the Australian Secondary Schools Championships and were absent from the schools last start 10-10 draw against Farrer MAHS.

They both had an impressive championships with Martin considered among the top 10 schoolboys to the compete in Redcliffe.

Patrician Brothers have not played since the opening round of the competition, and with the emergence of several young talents, have opted to shake things up in terms of training and players.

Coach Frank Pritchard said the competition for spots in the Patrician Brothers line-up had driven a change in their preparation.

“We’ve got a lot of young guys that are pushing to come into the team, so we’ve had to adapt our training here and there to compensate for those kids,” he said.

One young player taking center stage will be Parramatta Eels prodigy and Harold Matthews star, Junior Fagalele.

Jordan Miller will also be a player to look out for, with Pritchard stating he is “one of the hottest properties at the moment”.

“He is big, he is robust and I think he’ll be hard to contain,” he said.

Farrer MAHS v ALL Saints, Maitland Peter Mulholland Cup,

All Saints, Maitland climbed back off the canvas to draw 10-10 with Farrer as both teams picked up their first points of this year’s NRL Schoolboys Cup.

Replay: NRL Schoolboys Cup – Farrer MAHS vs All Saints Maitland

All Saints College has kept their Peter Mulholland Cup finals hopes alive after they escaped from the furnace of Farrer Memorial Agricultural High School with a solitary point.

A penalty goal to five-eighth Ashton Farrell in the final minutes levelled the scores at 10-10 with both sides unable to be split after a gripping 60 minutes.

Farrer had only kicked their own penalty goal two minutes earlier, and looked likely to clinch glory off the back of a dominant performance from front-row pairing Oliver Sykes and captain Will Woods.

But it was the wily efforts of All Saints College halfback Fletcher Thompson, who scored the only try of the second half, that pulled off the unlikely escape.

Thompson opted to take a quick tap in the final minutes and caught two Farrer defenders inside the 10 minutes. It forced the referee to send both to the bin and gave the visitors their shot to level the clash.

It was a see-sawing clash from the opening whistle to the last, but with the might of the Farrer supporters on the sideline, All Saints will be as good as winners on their bus ride back home to the Hunter.

The result took nothing away from the efforts of Farrer, who overturned an opening round 64-point loss to Patrician Brothers Fairfield into a grinding draw in front of a passionate crowd.

“She was a bit of a hard one out there, it felt like it was back and forth the whole game,” Woods said.

“It wasn’t the worst result and we ground it out to the last minute with only 11 blokes. It wasn’t the best result we could have hoped for but to have the crowd was great. It is amazing running out of the tunnel, they are cheering your name and they didn’t let up all game.

“We wouldn’t have gotten close to that result if it wasn’t for them.

A result like this gives a lot of confidence for the boys. We got smashed in the first round and the boys didn’t want to do that again, especially in front of the whole school. This was a big turnaround.”

Farrer had started the game on top, obviously fired up by the noise and excitement on the sidelines. The home side exploded out of the blocks and touched down through barnstorming backrower Logan Spinks within the opening 10 minutes.

An intercept try against the run of play for five-eighth Jordan Hamlin pushed Farrer two tries clear on the scoreboard and they threatened to run away with the contest.

But it was Thompson who masterminded the All Saints revival with a brilliant cut-out pass to send Lachlan Hickson over in the corner just before halftime before he levelled the scores after the break.

Farrer MAHS 10 (Logan Spinks, Jordan Hamlin tries; Logan Spinks goal) drew All Saints College 10 (Lachlan Hickson, Fletcher Thompson tries; Ashton Farrell goal)

PREVIEW: Regional rivalry hits new heights

They are missing two of their most experienced leaders and driving into the furnace of Tamworth, but All Saints College are far from backing down from their toughest assignment of the season.

All Saints will make one of the toughest road trips of the Peter Mulholland Cup on Wednesday, when they face off against fellow country football institution, Farrer Memorial Agricultural School in Tamworth.

The game between the two regional rivals will be live streamed exclusively on KommunityTV at 11am, Wednesday.

It is an away trip only made tougher for All Saints with the exclusion of representative duo Myles Martin and Kaleb Garvie, who will both set their sights on the Australian Secondary Schools Rugby League Championships in Redcliffe.

But All Saints College head of sport, Elliott Plank, was adamant his troops were excited for the opportunity as they fight to keep their finals dreams alive.

He has also tipped one of the school’s future leaders to take on the challenge personally and stand tall in the face of adversity.

It is always a challenge going to Farrer

“It is always a challenge going to Farrer, we are both country schools from proud league towns,” Plank said.

“We will be inexperienced in the front row but our boys are really enthusiastic. We see it as a challenge and the boys are really excited to take the challenge head on.

“There is a couple of boys that have played in the side since Year 10 and we are earmarking them for leadership. We have Khynan Butler and Joe Green, it is a good opportunity to see where they are at and can take the team under their wing.

“They are natural leaders already. It should be a natural progression for those boys to step into those roles.”

Both sides will be desperate for a win after suffering tough first-round losses.

Farrer failed to score a point in their one-sided loss to Patrician Brothers, Fairfield but will have an extra player on the field in the form of a boisterous home crowd.

It is a tradition for every student to be sideline for the school’s home games, and coach Ethan Sherlock said he was excited to witness it from the sideline for the first time.

“We spoke (on Monday) about what it means to play at home. The boys are excited to have the home crowd there, it is a chance to play in front of their mates and in front of the whole school,” Sherlock said.

“(The players) grow another leg because of it, they find another level.

“We are limping through. We have been knocked around with the flu and have copped a few injuries. We are light on.

“It was a tough first game but the boys really responded well. We know where we are at and what we are up against.”

The All Saints College St Mary’s rugby league representative team trained on the Maitland Sportsground last night as they prepared to follow in the footsteps of former alumni including Andrew and Matt Johns , Billy Peden, Mark Hughes, Brock Lamb and Jock Madden.

The St Mary’s boys from years 10-12 at All Saints College were joined by former students and current Maitland Pickers and Newcastle Rebels star Jayden Butterfield and Matt Soper-Lawler ahead of today’s first game of their NRL Schoolboys Cup (Peter Mulholland Cup) campaign against Holy Cross College Ryde.

Butterfield went onto to represent NSW Combined Catholic Colleges and earn All Australian Schoolboy honours in 2015.

One of several St Mary’s students to have achieved the honour over the past decade including Brock Lamb, Jesse Cronin, Brodie Jones, Jock Madden (who was captain) and Timanu Alexander.

As a year 10 student he was also part of a successful St Mary’s campaign with Lamb and Soper-Lawler.

The Pickers are sponsoring St Mary’s and Soper-Lawler and Butterfield presented players were with their jerseys by which feature the Pickers logo on the front.

The connection also includes the St Mary’s coach Chris Brennan, the Pickers junior development coach who is coming up against his old school.

St Mary’s sports co-ordinator Elliott Plank said the boys were wrapped to be joined by Butterfield and Soper-Lawler at training.

“It was great for these young guys to look up and know that a few years down the track that’s where looking to be taking their own career,” Plank said.

“We have a lot of Pickers juniors that come through our school as well as the other Coalfields clubs in Kurri Kurri and Cessnock.

“There’s a great connection with current students in the Pickers junior programs and the former students in first grade.

“There’s also former students in the NRL now including Jock Madden playing Wests Tigers, Brodie Jones and Brayden Musgrove at the Knights, Hudson Young at Canberra and Max King at Canterbury.”

Plank said while the team was largely young, but keen and enthusiastic, however, the team leaders Myles Martin and Caleb Garvie had been selected in the NSW CCC team.

Martin, who came to St Mary’s after being signed by to play SG Ball for the Newcastle Knights, will lead the team out today, while Garvie was a late withdrawal with a stomach flu.

St Mary’s is part of a pool with Holy Cross Ryde, Farrah High School and Patrician Brothers Fairfield. The team topping the pool advances to the next stage of the competition.

It was a reality check in Round 3 of the Schoolboy Cup Southern Confrence at New Era Stadium for All Saints College Maitland today, coming off 2 wins in their pool, the trip to Sydney this time turned into a footbal lesson for the Maitland College.

Suddenly Patrician Brothers ran the ball up the middle, through the ball out wide, the Center Terence Lafai ran 30 meters, threw a tight inside pass to a flying replacement Victor Alofaki who barged through 4 defenders to cross the line only to be just held up in goal by by some strong and determined by All Saints Connor Fortune and other defending team mates, no try

After the Drinks break, the well trained Patrician Brothers team simply reset and went to their next job, which was to complete their sets and run at the All Saints defenders

Running into the sun, Patties scored 2 more 1st half tries to lead 26 – 0 when Referee Mark Harvey blow his half time whistle.

Patrician Brothers kicked off the second half, a great catch by All Saints Fullback Taj’h sent his team into attack only to have the ball fumble out of their possession, the loose ball was pounced upon and Patties were back in business and attacked from only 40 out.
