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.

CRRL participation numbers surge to record high

CRRL is thrilled with the latest participation numbers, which have our region sitting fourth overall in the NSW rugby league family.

The Canberra region numbers currently sit at 5,798, which puts us ahead of the traditional rugby league stronghold areas of Parramatta, Canterbury and Illawarra.

The Central Coast is only slightly ahead on 5,989, with Penrith and Newcastle the only other regions ahead of Canberra.

CRRL General Manager Mark Vergano says that he is thrilled that the numbers continue to grow in our region.

“The region has shown growth across all age groups and especially pleasing is the growth in boys rugby league.

Whilst we are very pleased to be advancing the game in female participation, the boys continue to play the game in increasing numbers,” Vergano said.

“Young players, male and female, identify with their Raiders heroes and can see themselves playing on GIO Stadium emulating their favourite Raider.

Our strong pathways and new formats are providing more options for everyone to participate.”

CRRL participation numbers surge to record high

“Rugby League continues to innovate and take its duty of care seriously. Our clubs have accredited coaches and trainers attached to every team and the new concussion protocols ensures a level of safety unmatched by other sports.”

Overall participation in the Canberra region has increased by 13.5% from 5,105 (2019) to 5,798.

Junior numbers rose 14% from 2019, while senior numbers increased by 12%.

Female participation now represents approximately 20% of the overall participation, and next season there will be many opportunities for more females to get involved.

CRRL participation numbers surge to record high

Vergano says that the impressive numbers are because of the hard work of the clubs and volunteers.

“They have faced so many challenges over the last two years and have not only been able to rebuild our game but also progress it to the greatest participation numbers in our history,” Vergano said.

“The CRRL is challenging itself to keep growing the game with an emphasis on participation and involvement at all levels and highlighting the social aspects of playing with friends and enjoying themselves.

Canberra Region Rugby League has developed a 2022-2025 wheelchair rugby league strategic plan to lead the inclusion program in Canberra and surrounding regions, including southern NSW.

The plan was formed with the direction from the Canberra Region Wheelchair Rugby League (CRWRL) sub-committee, who steer the overall plan.

Throughout this process the CRWRL’s mission has been the primary focus, with the commitment to connect and educate the wider community of the physical, mental and social benefits of being involved in the wheelchair rugby league program.

In delivering this mission, we remain committed to our values of inclusion, integrity, respect, excellence and adaptability, which form the foundation of every decision we make.

This strategic plan, one of the first for our adaptive all-inclusive sport, is vital in ensuring the ongoing development and growth of wheelchair rugby league in Australia.

This overall plan provides the platform for the CRWRL program and its participants to recognise some major achievements for the adaptive sport in the region, whilst capitalising on the collaborative approach in which this strategy has been developed.

VISION

WE ARE ALL-INCLUSIVE

To be recognised as an all-inclusive sport for all to participate, compete and socialise in, with people of all abilities, personal backgrounds and skills – to be involved in a fun, active and healthy environment.

MISSION

WE ARE COMMITTED

To educate our community and promote the physical and mental benefits of participating in our adaptive all-inclusive sport. Our sport provides pathways for participants to represent their respective region and contribute to making Wheelchair Rugby League a global sport.

STRATEGIC PILLARS

Participation – develop a love for our game, by providing playing and volunteering opportunities, and sharing the lifestyle benefits

Competition – deliver and facilitate high quality, exciting and relevant competitions and events

Promotion – engage stakeholders to create opportunities and harness latent interest by promoting our growing game in the Canberra region and southern NSW

Talent – create a supportive environment for our high performance athletes and staff to achieve national and international success

Community – support the broader local community by providing healthy, social and active opportunities for people to engage, participate and be involved in

What a year 2021 has been.

Whilst the season has come to an early end, there are still many highlights to celebrate.

CRRL has reached an all-time high in participation numbers, up 10% on 2019 figures.

There are currently 5,798 players across all our competitions, with junior participation making up approx. 78% of this number, along with 22% of senior players.

Female participation has also continued to grow in our league tag and tackle competitions in all ages, representing 20% of all participation.

CLICK HERE to see our new participation infographic

On an average weekend roughly 157 games are played between 350 teams. CRRL thank all 1501 registered volunteers who volunteer their time to help and support our teams and clubs in ensuring our players can participate in rugby league each week.

Thank you to the parents and support personnel who also help facilitate our game days at our 35 home ground venues each weekend – people facilitating the canteens, gate keepers, ground manager roles, clock timing and score board duties, team managers, leaguesafers, team mascots and everyone in between.

CRRL reaches all time high in participation numbers

The number of fully accredited coaches, sports trainers and referees has grown since 2019. There are now 835 coaches, 101 referees, and 312 sports trainers within CRRL.

It is important to note that our games are unable to commence without an accredited coach, referee and sports trainer all present on the sideline.

This is what makes our sport significantly advanced and ensures safe practices for participants to enjoy and play our contact sport.

All accreditations are updated regularly to ensure our accredited personnel are up to date on all aspects specific to rugby league.

The CRRL’s ability to embrace cultural diversity is also highlighted in the Infographic, with an increase of Indigenous participants representing about ten percent of our total participation numbers, along with 459 multicultural participants in total.

The introduction of the new inclusion programs of Wheelchair Rugby League and the Score Raiders has contributed to roughly 60 people who identify as having a disability playing in other variations of our game.

In conjunction with the Disability Trust, this season saw the Score Raiders play in our CRRL U14s junior competition, as well as battle it out against the Score Dragons in Wollongong.

2022 will also mark the second year of our Canberra based Wheelchair Rugby League competition – wheelchair rugby league is for all players to participate and join a team, whether players are regular wheelchair users or not.

Our in-school participation number also risen to reaching over 10,000 students over both primary and secondary schools in the Canberra regions.

Schools can participate in the following programs: Canberra Raiders Community Blitz, Sports Schools programs, League Stars, Holiday Clinics, Tackle Safe, and INSPIRE workshops.

An additional 3,000 students have the opportunity to participate in one of our school competitions such as, the Legends Shield, Sullivan Shield, Alan Tongue Cup 9’s, etc.

Each weekend our games are played across our Canberra region, from Harden, Boorowa, Cootamundra, Goulburn, Crookwell, Queanbeyan, Bungendore, Cooma and of course all throughout north and south Canberra.

Whilst the season has unfortunately ended abruptly, we want to thank everyone involved in making it happen and for supporting Season 2021.
