WALTERS CUP SEMI-FINALS’ PLAYERS TO WATCH

TITANS SCHOOLS CUP TEAM OF THE SEASON REVEALED

Brotherly love between the Taewa siblings will be cast aside when the boys confront each other in the first game.

Jaylen said, after playing juniors together for the Bilambil Jets, and alongside each other for the PBC SHS Walters Cup and Langer reserve teams, they did oppose each other for one season when Jury played for Nerang Roosters.

Brothers Jury and Jaylen Taewa will oppose each other

And earlier in this Langer season they were on opposing sides, but Jury was on the opposite side of the field to his brother and they did not really come together.

“I have not played against him properly. It will be a bit odd,’’ Jaylen said.

Jury added: “He deserves the spot he’s in and it’s a once in a lifetime opportunity to play against my twin in a semi-final.

“He’s a hard worker. It will be good going up against another prop with the same skillset and mindset as me. I am keen to see what little tricks he’s got.’’

Jaylen said it would be a tough night for their mum, Renee and father Jury senior, because they won’t know who to cheer for.

LANGER TROPHY BIGS AND SMALLS

LANGER TROPHY BEST MOMENTS OF THE DECADE

The Wavell SHS players who have been at the school since Year 7-8

In an insight into the four camps, the respective coaches have revealed who will be on top of their danger man tip sheets discussed by their players in the lead-up to the match.

COACHES TOP DANGERMEN PICKS

Tim Maccan (Palm Beach Currumbin SHS)

Coby Black. Picture: Richard Walker

Will Saunders

The Marsden SHS halves pair have been in great form this season, Black having taken his game up a level from 2022 and Andrews having made a successful return from a serious neck injury.

Maccan said: “Leading up to last week I hadn’t watched much of Marsden since we played them in the first round. But I know Javon and Coby are the ones steering the ship.

“When they are playing well, when they are on fire, their team goes really well.’’

Matthew Hartigan (Marsden SHS)

Will Saunders and Baylen Donald

Hartigan had tremendous respect for old foes PBC SHS and could name multiple players, but he has really admired the work of hooker Will Saunders:

Saunders ability to play off a quick player the ball, advance on the defence himself or engage defenders before passing has caught the eye of Hartigan.

The name Saunders is very well known on the Gold Coast and across the border town, Tweed Heads, where Don played for both the Gold Coast Seagulls.

Baylen Donald. Picture Glenn Hampson

Hartigan also has big wraps on flame-haired edge back rower Baylen Donald who has been a force all year long in both the Tweed Seagulls Meninga Cup and PBC Langer Trophy teams.

Paul Stanley (Wavell SHS)

Oliva Iaulualo, David Leota and Anton Naiyep

Ipswich SHS captain Oliva Iaulualo will return from a week’s lay off and reunite with his childhood mate David Leota in the middle of the field for the defending champions.

Wavell SHS coach Paul Stanley will have his side ready for their impact.

“They have a very strong pack, but Oliva Iaulualo and David Leota are very powerful. And they have Naiyep out wide as well. He is a dangerous player.’’

Oliva Iaulualo. Picture: Richard Walker

Lauloto Salei. Picture: Richard Walker

Joshua Bretherton (Ipswich SHS)

Loto Salei and Zac Herdegen

Wavell SHS’s captain Loto Salei has been elite all season long playing a Pat Carrigan type of role for the Broncos.

He is a great link between the backs and forwards and can both run hard and create chances – as can halfback Herdegen.

Bretherton said Loto Salei was very damaging while Herdegen controls a lot of things and kicks really well.

“If we don’t do a good job of controlling him (Herdegen) he will kick us to death.”

HOME GROWN HEROES

Meet the students who have been at the four finals’ schools since Years 7-8

Marsden SHS

Cory Pearse, Will Semu, Lui Lee, Javon Andrews, Taylon To’a, Braden Teuila, Mace Andrew, Elijah Leatigaga, Tyron Fanueli, and Thomas Taunagita

Cory Pearse said: “I have loved all the community things that Marsden has done. Not just in their sport, but academically for the students and their parents. It is like one big family.

“We have thousands of kids at school and we are all there for one and other.

Manager Thomas Taunagita started in his role as manager last year after damaging his ACL playing. “I thought it was the end of my rugby league journey,’’ he said.

“I was devastated but my teachers gave me a chance to be a manager. In year 10 I was the Titans Cup manager and that followed on through to Mr Hartigan asking me to be the Langer manager.

“I have loved being involved in the rugby league program.’’

Wavell SHS

Jai Camilleri, Riley Jenkins, Robertson Tusi-Tofu, Keyarn Pene, Carlos Ka, George Taualai, 7. Kobi Floro, Christian Taula, Peter Ben Uini, Joey Filipe, Mason Phillips, Lucas Miller

Jai Camilleri said: “I came to Wavell in Year 8 and I was impressed with the culture, not only in the footy program, but how we enjoy our footy, school work. That is reflected in what we do on and off the field.

“This year did not start well, but the way we stuck to our program, focused on what Mr Stanley told us, we knew what we had to do to improve. There is a bond.’’

Will Saunders, Baylen Donald, Isaac Harrison, Bailey Simpson, Ray Puru

Zane Harrison said: “I started in Year 7 and the school has always accepted the footy program. You see teachers at the game supporting us.

There is a great culture at the school between the teachers and the students and I have really enjoyed my time here.’’

IPSWICH SHS

Jack Laing, David Leota, Oliva Iaulualo, Brandon Tikinau, Izaiah Mafi and Anton Naiyep.

Jack Laing in action during the 2022 Phil Hall Cup final.

Coach Joshua Bretherton said Laing had been at Ipswich SHS since the very start from Year 7.

“He’s got brothers and sisters at the school, he played his club football four minutes over the hill from school at the closest club, he went to primary school across the road.

“He’s born and bred within 300 metres of the school sort of thing and after helping us win the national title last year he has done a great job again this year.

“He’s worked hard and grown into a really high level footballer which is awesome.”

Another star of last year’s national championship team was winger Anton Naiyep who is originally from Papua New Gunea, and came to Ipswich via Cairns.

“He’s lived in Ipswich since he was 10 and has been with us the whole way through… He played his local football within a stones throw from the school (Norths Tigers) and is a local kid.”

Langer Trophy local derby: Mabel Park SHS v Marsden SHS

The Langer Trophy clash between Mabel Park and Marsden was abandoned late in the first half on Wednesday following a gigantic collision between two props. Both boys have since been medically cleared.

Watch the replay of the Langer Trophy Round 6 – Marsden SHS v Mabel Park SHS

The Langer Trophy Logan derby between Marsden SHS and Mabel Park SHS was abandoned on Wednesday night after a gigantic collision between front rowers Alex Leapai and Jury Taewa halted play after about 25 minutes.

Leapai, the Mabel Park captain, and Marsden’s Taewa were both taken to hospital as a precaution after Leapai produced a huge tackle on Taewa, who was running the ball back from a restart.

But after a period of observation in hospital, both boys have been medically cleared.

Leapai, who received a head knock, was in good spirits last night, smiling to his teammates as he was stretchered into an ambulance while Taewa was conveyed to hospital for observation.

Alex Leapai’s father, Alex senior, praised Level II sports trainer Adrian Armstrong, who was employed at home games by Marsden, for his care of his son after initial concerns for his health.

Armstrong sprinted on and stayed with Leapai until the arrival of two ambulances.

Both teams gave the players a rousing reception as they were taken away. Marsden were leading 14-10 at the time.

WALTERS CUP

A first half blinder from Marsden SHS left centre Antonio Okusitino helped played his side into a winning position against a gallant Mabel Park SHS in a vital Walters Cup showdown on Wednesday

Marsden SHS won 24-4, but Mabel plugged a leaky boat to stay with their rivals for all of the second half after Marsden at one stage led 20-0.

Outside a go-forward pack, and feasting on front football, Marsden SHS centre Okusitino twice scored and on a third occasion burst clear to put his winger Quinn Temperon under the posts.

Replay: Walters Cup Round 6 – Marsden SHS v Mabel Park SHS

Temperon had plenty of work to do and showed a clean pair of heels when he cut back inside, but it was Okusition’s try.

Mobile prop Mace Andrew, big bopper Cooper Young and Tupou Francis, with his energy, did well in the middle, and behind him the engine purred.

Right winger Ryder Bodley also got in the action, chasing a clear kicking that bounced favourably into his arms.

But Mabel Park SHS got one back two minutes before halftime when left centre Dean Tauaa crashed down the defensive barrier outside and ran 18m to score.

It was an inspired individual effort which could have given the Mabel Park SHS confidence, and the Marsden coach Jesse Maclean ammunition to make sure his side was not complacent after leading 20-0.

Mabel Park then battled away until Marsden winger Temperon scored the only try of the second half two minutes from fulltime.

PREVIEW

While they aren’t in need of any extra motivation for a big local derby showdown against Mabel Park, Marsden State High will find it on their sleeve, their chest and over their heart.

The unbeaten Marsden will tackle Langer Trophy giant-killers Mabel Park on Wednesday in a Logan City local derby.

The www.couriermail.com.au will live stream, via Kommunity TV, both the Langer Trophy (5pm) and Walters Cup (4pm) derbies.

Marsden SHS is an established Langer powerhouse but Mabel only earned promotion in 2021.

They progressed to win three games last year, and this year the squad celebrated the school’s Queensland schoolboy representative Alex Leapai.

In the last three seasons Mabel Park SHS has benefited from the arrival of six students originally from Marsden SHS – Hamuera Kingi, Sylus I’liga, Marley Lupeomanu, Jackson Howe, Lachlan Buchbach and Tyrese Tovao.

Wavell edge out Redcliffe

Redcliffe SHS v Wavell SHS, Langer Trophy/Walters Cup

Wavell held their nerve to confirm their spot in the Langer Trophy quarter finals as Redcliffe’s wait for their first win goes on another week. Relive all the action from the LIVE STREAM.

Watch the replay of the Langer Trophy Round 6 – Redcliffe SHS v Wavell SHS

With major points and finals chances on the line, it was the visitors, Wavell SHS, who found their second wind and snuck away with a 20-10 win over Redcliffe in round six of the Langer Trophy.

Neither team could break the deadlock in the opening 10 minutes, with both showing extra effort on the attack and defensive end.

But after 14 minutes, Redcliffe finally found themselves in some good field position, and it was none other than Australian schoolboys player John Fineanganofo who crashed over.

Wavell hit back through a nice inside draw and pass between Carlos Ka and Keyarn Pene, before the visitors were in again just before halftime thanks to some good short-side play on the left-hand touchline from centre Tusi Tofu.

Play resumed in the second half with the score at 10-6, and after Redcliffe’s Loka Toia was held up over the line, the home side drew level with a much-needed try.

Those celebrations didn’t last long though with Wavell SHS marching down the other end minutes later and extending their lead 16-10.

A chip kick in behind was fumbled by the Redcliffe backs and right-side winger Riley Jenkins dived onto the ball to score his first of the afternoon.

With less than three minutes remaining, Toia was sent to the sin bin, and that was all she wrote, with Wavell SHS finishing the match 10-point victors and securing their spot in the quarter finals.

Replay: Walters Cup Round 6 – Redcliffe SHS v Wavell SHS

There wasn’t much in this Walters Cup clash, but some strong defensive efforts from Wavell SHS proved the slight difference in a 22-12 victory against Redcliffe SHS.

With both sides chancing their arm in attack and also going toe-to-toe in the defensive line, it was clear from the opening sets that both sides had come to play.

After 10 minutes Wavell opened the scoring by keeping the ball alive and getting it through a number of hands for their left centre to dive over.

A kick restart that landed out on the full wasn’t how Redcliffe SHS wanted to resume play and that was enough of an invite for Wavell SHS to grab their second.

The next kick restart Redcliffe were able to get the ball back before stringing a few simple sets together to get on the scoreboard.

An improved defensive set from Redcliffe wasn’t enough to stop their opposition with Wavell putting up a high ball and adding to their lead.

Neither team was able to gain momentum after the break until Redcliffe crossed the chalk with a much needed four pointer.

Both sides again held their own on the defensive end, with only one final try coming from Wavell SHS before the referee called full time.

PREVIEW

Both sides will be looking to snag the two points in round six when Redcliffe State High School welcome Wavell State High School in the Langer Trophy at Kayo Stadium.

Redcliffe will be searching for their first win of the season while the sixth-placed Wavell will hope to secure their spot in the Langer Trophy quarter-finals with a second win of the season.

The crunch clash will be exclusive live streamed on KommunityTV via the Courier Mail on Wednesday afternoon, with the Walter Cup clash kicking the action off at 2.30pm.

Both sides are coming off round five losses but both coaches admitted it was a very different feeling in the post-match sheds.

“It was a different feeling compared to our earlier losses in the season,” Wavell SHS head coach Paul Stanley said following his sides 18-8 loss to Keebra Park SHS.

“The boys know that they played well, we’re getting closer to our best each week so the boys were disappointed but they didn’t have regret for not giving their best effort.”

For Redcliffe, head coach Jay Wilkinson labelled the 69-22 defeat to Marsden SHS as ‘embarrassing’.

“It was a little bit embarrassing on our own turf and on a big day,” he said.

“I think we sat down, had a good chat about it and have all recommitted and to be honest it’s been the best week at training in quite a while so they’ve responded well.”

With the top seven sides progressing through to finals at the end of the regular season, Stanley said it was a big game for both sides.

“We’re not looking at the table at all because those boys will be playing at their absolute best and it’s a bit of a rivalry for the boys given we’re so close and they’re playing against their mates,” Stanley said.

“We know the talent that Redcliffe has across the park plus they’ve got one Queensland and one Australian schoolboy in Loka Toia and John Fineanganofo so it’ll be important for us to limit their involvement.”

Wilkinson said his side’s focus had been on continuous improvement each week.

“Marsden was a blimp as we didn’t improve but we’re focused on these last two games of the year and we’re pretty confident that if we can play our style that we can pick up two wins and finish sixth,” he said.

“That gets us into finals but also keeps us in the competition next year which let’s the boys leave a legacy.

“Both sides would like to have a couple more wins so it’ll be which school comes out with more enthusiasm and which side gives it a real crack.”

Ipswich v Palm Beach Currumbin Langer Trophy

Ipswich SHS v Palm Beach Currumbin SHS, Langer Trophy, Walters Cup

A moment of brilliance from Xavier Kirk proved the difference as Ipswich held their nerve to beat Palm Beach Currumbin in a repeat of last year’s Langer Trophy decider. Relive all the action.

Watch a full replay of Ipswich SHS v PBC (Langer).

Games can be decided by moments – and for Ipswich SHS, it was a moment of brilliance from winger Xavier Kirk that landed them a 16-14 victory over Palm Beach Currumbin.

The Year 12 right wing, who was deadly in Ipswich’s champion Langer Reserves team last year, will no doubt be replaying that moment in his head.

It was the final play of the first half when Kirk caught a cross field kick before scoring just shy of the dead ball line.

It was Ipswich’s final try in a thrilling game where both teams scored three times.

One conversion was the difference.

The contest was absorbing in the first half, with high-tempo footy being showcased from both sides.

Ipswich shot out to a 10-0 lead after 10 minutes, but PBC quickly drew level courtesy of a Bailey McConnell try and try assist to winger Creedence Donovan.

McConnell’s energy, step and draw-and-pass was vital for PBC in the opening stages.

The 36th minute proved the game changer when the high-flying Kirk went aerial to pluck and plant a Brandon Tikinau cross field kick.

It was magical, and elevated Ipswich to a six-point advantage.

Earlier, Tyler Peckham-Harris got Ipswich off to a flyer with a charge down try off kicker Zane Harrison. Then, Shaye Faa’aoga found Kirk who made it 10-0.

A quick play the ball from LJ Nonu and a short side pop-pass from Faa’aoga put the small, but electric winger in.

McConnell dazzled on the back of metres made by Baylen Donald and Jac Finigan and PBC were still well in the hunt at the break.

In the second half, nerves crept in and the high-intensity of the clash resulted in errors both ways.

With 12 minutes left, flame-haired Donald scored, leaving it up to Harrison to equalise.

It was a tough kick 15 metres in from the sideline and Harrison, who had been creating plays all game, must have been exhausted. He missed and that was the end of the scoring.

Despite an Ethan Schultz and Sunny Kama-inspired final spurt for PBC, Ipswich came away two-point-victors.

PBC bounce back to take Walters Cup clash in style

The Palm Beach Currumbin Reds left the North Ipswich Reserve happy campers after a 44-4 success over Stretton State College.

After suffering their first loss of the season to Redcliffe SHS last week, the Reds played with vigour and a point to prove.

And prove it they did when second rower Nelson Makaafi scored to put the cherry on top a convincing 40-point-victory.

REPLAY: Stretton v PBC (Walters)

Watch a full replay of Stretton v PBC (Walters).

Quick enough to be a back, the supporting Makaafi cleared away for PBC’s final try after prop Ashton Hure, goalkicking halfback Marley McLaren and headgeared Ned Tanner combined to go from one end to the other.

PBC had a clear size advantage, but that didn’t deter Stretton from confronting them hard and fast in defence.

Stretton were brave, with Bailey Vang the chief organiser out of dummy-half. The closest they got was 6-4 early, but quickly PBC found their groove.

Halves Taj Lateo and McLaren were classy playmakers.

After the likes of Cruz Dangerfield, Kwinn Wolf and Brodie Sanders made ground up the middle, the two halves provided good ball to their edge finishers.

PREVIEW

Two of the Langer Trophy’s best attacking weapons will come face-to-face as Ipswich State High hosts Palm Beach Currumbin in Round 5 of the elite schoolboys competition.

Both sides enter the clash with only one loss this season and off the back of confidence-boosting wins last week.

Ipswich proved too hard to handle against fourth-placed Mabel Park last week, while Palm Beach Currumbin scored their second win of the season against Redcliffe State High.

So this could be another thriller in what is shaping up to be the competition’s closest finish in years.

While both sides possess some of the toughest forward packs in the competition, the blockbuster clash could be decided by the boys out wide.

Palm Beach centre Sam Stephenson is rolling off the back of a national championships campaign for Queensland, but could meet his match in exciting Ipswich centre LJ Nonu.

Both players possess a strong running game, and have shown an ability to power over the top of their opposite number this season.

It could truly be a battle of the irresistable force against an immovable object.

Dolphins Cup Round 4

Schoolboy Cup Live Stream: St Brendan’s v The Cathedral College, Dolphins Cup, Round 4

A crafty kick through to their flying winger has helped St Brendan’s claim a win on the final siren. Watch the REPLAYS.

Watch a full replay of St Brendan’s College v TCC (Cup).

A try on the final siren to flying winger Mataio Tapau-Bon stole a late victory for St Brendan’s after a back-and-forth slugfest against rivals The Cathedral College.

The flying winger showed his extreme turn of foot to scorch defenders and dive on a Tommy Green grubber with less than two minutes to go to seal an 8-6 win for the St Brendan’s side.

It will be a bitter pill to swallow for The Cathedral College, who had fought valiantly to repel their heavyweight rivals for most of the 60 minutes and had gone ahead after a scintillating sideline conversion from dummy-half Zac Bateman.

WATCH THE DOLPHINS CUP REPLAY IN THE PLAYER ABOVE

The rivalry between St Brendan’s and The Cathedral College is one of the biggest in Queenslajnd school footy and this match proved exactly why.

Both schools came out all guns blazing – with the two forward packs not willing to give an inch to their rivals.

But it was the individual brilliance of halfback Tommy Green trhat would break the deadlock, with the crafty no. 7 fooling the defence with a simple show-and-go before powering over the top of fullback Francis Darkin.

While it appeared St Brendan’s had broken the TCC shackles, the Rockhampton school refused to let them gain the immediate upper hand.

TCC seemed almost invigorated by going behind on the scoreboard, suddenly they hit harder and ran faster.

The Rockhampton nursery had to wait until midway through the second half to finally break through the St Brendan’s defence, but once they did, they looked almost unstoppable.

That was until the coll-handed Green found his flying winger in the final moment.

REPLAY: Dolphins Cup Round 4 – St Brendan’s College v TCC (Challenge)

Preview: The Cathedral College sweat on star fullback’s fitness

The Cathedral College coaching staff will decide on the weekend if their flying fullback, Mutua Brown, will line up for the Round 4 clash in the Dolphins Cup on Tuesday.

TCC heads to Yeppoon to take on St Brendan’s College in the Cup at 5.30pm and the Dolphins Challenge at 4.30pm – and you can watch the action live on KommunityTV via this website.

Brown would be a welcome inclusion in TCC’s Cup line-up but he has had a demanding schedule in the past few weeks.

He starred for Queensland at the national secondary schools rugby league championships, earning national selection, and on Thursday night was in the Maroons under-19 side which went down to New South Wales.

TCC’s Mick Busby said Brown would be given every chance to play on Tuesday.

“We’ll assess him when he gets back over the weekend. Obviously, if he can play, it will be very handy for us,” he said.

TCC will be without several players who were injured at the recent Confraternity Carnival, where the team finished seventh.

Hooker Zack Bryce suffered a season-ending knee injury, Ernest Walker is out with a shoulder injury and fellow forward Zac Bateman is also in doubt.

Busby said they would be looking for big performances from Brown, second rower Jack Biles, centre Toby Bateman and halfback Curtis Seierup against Confro champions St Brendan’s.

“They’ll be fighting on and doing the best they can,” he said.

Revealed: Fuzzy reward for TCC team after historic Confro win

“We’ve just got to stay in the grind, try to match them in the middle and go from there.

“I don’t know what St Brendan’s side will be in regards to who they have or haven’t got but we have to try to make it hard for whoever we’re up against.

“We’re currently in the top four and we need one more win to secure our spot in that top four and hopefully that can happen on Tuesday.”

Redcliffe will have no shortage of pace this season, with three quicksilver athletes capable of breaking a match open with their pace.

First past the post would be O’Connell, but Risale also has plenty of pace from fullback or centre. Makai Duggan was “just a natural athlete’’ according to Redcliffe coach Jay Wilkinson.

Ipswich SHS

The centre or winger can move and would be Ipswich SHS’s quickest mover. Xavier Kirk would give him a run for his money.

Xavier Kirk:

Ipswich SHS boys Iosefa Kolio, LJ Nonu and Xavier Kirk

Kirk was as quick as they come in the Langer Reserves competition last year and in Ipswich’s Langer Trophy team, he has already shown glimpses of his blistering speed.

Round 1 was a prime example when he broke away for a solo try against Keebra Park.

Like Peckham-Harris, he isn’t the tallest but if he gets on the outside of you it’s pretty much game over.

Tyler Peckham-Harris:

The little bloke is deceptively quick. He is fast off the mark, but can also sustain pace over a long distance.

Will join 2022 teammates James Frazer, Joven Gyemore and the towering Loko Pasifiki Tonga at the Dragons once the year is out.

MAGIC MEN OF THE HALVES

Wavell SHS

Tyreece Tait:

They don’t come much better – or faster than Tait. The Broncos signed finisher has a long stride and bounces down field at a great rate of knots.

Mereki Waradoo:

The young representative fullback is dynamic and will give his side plenty of thrust from the back – watch for him pouring down the middle.

Not only is he quick but there’s only few that power through contact like this guy.

John-Paul Donevski:

John Paul relocated from New South Wales after playing in the NSWCCC for Patrician Brothers Blacktown.

The Penrith junior has pace, which is even more lethal when paired with height – which Doveski has.

Caloundra will be hoping their first ever home ground matchup is enough to put a stop to Marsden‘s undefeated run as the two face off in round three of the 2023 Langer Trophy.

The Sunshine Coast based school has been handed two quick reality checks in the opening rounds going down 42-10 against Wavell and 32-4 to Palm Beach Currumbin.

“It’s really good to see how far the competition has come in terms of the geographical spread and I think it will be a really tight defensive tussle that will be won through the middle.

“We know they’ve got a Queensland representative in Zac Garton so we know it’s going to be a tough game but I’m excited for the battle between Garton and Braden Teuila.”

Brooklenn Mundraby-Grogan and Zac Garton of Caloundra SHS.

Caloundra head coach Toby Poole said his team were looking to improve again and had added confidence playing at home.

“I thought we did an excellent job for the first 50 minutes last week as we competed hard and were really in the thick of it,” he said.

“Something that’s new for these guys is maintaining that high intensity for the full match as they don’t get exposed to that a whole lot on the Sunshine Coast.

“Playing at home is very exciting, hopefully we get a good turnout and we’ve already had a few past players and graduates reach out to see what time they should be there which is cool.”

Poole said he hoped his middle forwards could tighten up and limit the influence of Marsden captain Coby Black.

“They’ve got a big and powerful pack Marsden and then they’ve got Coby Black on the back of that playing some shape and is a very well organised and accomplished half back,” he said.

“If we can control their middle, that will hopefully limit Coby’s attacking impact for them.”

In the Walters Cup, Caloundra would be looking for improvement after going down 46-6 against PBC last week, while Marsden went down to Keebra 8-6 following a successful penalty kick after the siren.

Comeback kings Ipswich snatched back the lead to defeat Palm Beach Currumbin in a Langer Trophy grand final blockbuster. Watch the Langer Trophy, Walters Cup and Langer Reserves grand final replays!

Replay: Langer Trophy grand final – Ipswich SHS vs Palm Beach Currumbin SHS

Ipswich SHS’s team today created history by winning its first ever Langer Trophy, edging out PBC SHS 16-12.

At Kougari Oval it was a triple treat of schoolboy live streaming by The Courier-Mail and KommunityTV.

LANGER TROPHY:

Ipswich 16 – 12 Palm Beach Currumbin

Ipswich SHS’s most famous past student Allan Langer has expressed his pride in seeing his old school claim an historic premiership, the Langer Trophy, by beating Palm Beach Currumbin SHS 16-12 in a schoolboy rugby league grand final classic at Kougari Oval on Wednesday.

Ipswich SHS, unbeaten this season, swept to its first ever premiership by winning the trophy which is named after Langer.

“I am proud of the Ipswich boys. It was such a great game of rugby league and you need to give it to Palm Beach as well.

They defended superbly,’’ Langer said.

“It was great football. But even better (Ipswich won),’’ Langer with a typical cheeky smile.

Ipswich SHS hit the winners post by the width of tissue paper in a grand final for the ages.

Ipswich scored first, then PBC SHS crept back to lead 12-10 before Ipswich SHS mighty mite Tyler Peckham-Harris dashed over to score after a break by his hooker Tommy Luhrman.

Ipswich SHS had received a pre-game pump up by celebrated alumni, Sharks winger Ronaldo Mulitalo, who flew from Sydney to address his old school side.

The NRL star then celebrated with the schoolboys like he had been let out of the classroom a day ahead of the Christmas school holidays.

“I could cry right now. I have had my best memories here,’’ Mulitalo said.

“It’s such a proud rich history we have. And from where we have come from, it means even more. We finally have one. “I’m so proud of the boys.’’

PBC SHS coach Tim Maccan said despite the loss, the game highlighted how tough his side was as it suffered injuries and confronted a huge pack.

“They probably beat us through the middle. We just had to try and hold on and they got a couple of sneaky tries and they got the chocolates.

“It could have gone either way and while I am disappointed we did not win, if there was a team which deserved to win it, it was Ipswich.’’

The Ipswich win was greeted with wild celebrations broke out around Kougari Oval as coach Joshua Bretherton and his men disappeared beneath a heaving mass of supporters.

In a match where the 26 players from both teams reached lofty heights, it was the smallest man on the field, jockey-sized Ipswich SHS fullback Tyler Peckham-Harris, who scored the decisive try nine minutes from the end.

Peckham-Harris, having played the ball, then had the energy to follow his scurrying dummy half Tom Luhrman through the ruck and score under the posts, leading to a 16-12 lead.

This was a grand final for the ages, with first one team and then the other wrestling for the initiative.

Ipswich, unbeaten this season, won it on the back of its defence, locking up the middle against the dynamic PBC SHS fullback Keano Kini, and hustling to the edges like men possessed.

There were an array of crucial tackles surely inspired by the occasion.

Some of those included:

+ PBC SHS’s Caleb Te Mono tackle on a try bound James Frazer

+ Anton Naiyep and Tyler Peckham-Harris on Michael Roberts

+ Keano Kini making two in a row on attacking Ipswich runner

+ MIchael Roberts on his opposite Naiyep

+ Zane Harrison’s dive to prevent Gabriel Satrick putting his support over for the winning try

Players from both teams played out of their skins, highlighted when Ipswich little man, fullback Peckham-Harris, leapt skyward to field a bomb like he had been fired out of a cannon.

The first half was highlighted by one of the great prop forward grand final tries, with Ipswich SHS captain Josiah Pahulu battering his way 15m to score under the posts.

He came so hard onto the ball, once sensed he would have run right through the fencing surrounding the field had his celebrating teammates not jumped all over his back and eased his momentum.

“They say big time players make big time plays and that’s what skipper Josiah Pahulu did,” Mulitalo said.

It was a real “follow me’’ effort by the Ipswich SHS forward leader and gave his side a 10-6 lead after 26 minutes.

Then came a crucial moment. Following the resumption of play, Ipswich turned the ball over which gave PBC SHS a late chance in the half.

Palm Beach Currimbun SHS were blocked from scoring on the left side when Ipswich centre Anton Naiyep and his fullback Tyler Peckham-Harris tackled Roberts on the line.

But a right shift saw interchange forward Jaylen Taewa crash over from a short ball by Zane Harrison after Reico Ratana had tapped on.

Earlier, Ipswich SHS opened the scoring after six minutes when Tommy Luhrman cleared the ruck to his halfback Jalen Afamasaga whose early ball to his representative centre Tre Fotu saw the big bloke crash over.

Ipswich had just regained possession from a nothing bomb, but in attacking the bouncing ball PBC SHS fullback Kini fumbled possession, leading to another set of six for Ipswich SHS.

Fotu’s early game contribution also included a thumping tackle on Brady Turner which shook the venue.

But after Ipswich middle forward Rene Bagon had produced a try saving tackle on Kini, PBC SHS were ahead when big match centre Michael Roberts barged over from dummy half.

A double blow for Ipswich who lost Bagon to injury after his brave tackle on Kini who had come on the burst with typical explosive power.

It was a blow to Ipswich who lost Caleb Jackson (centre), Ahmarni Leluia (prop) and Joven Gyemore (winger/ utility) leading up to the game.

PBC SHS captain Josiah Pahulu said the win should be used for his community to “aim high’’. “Anything is possible when you put your heart and mind to it,’’ said Pahulu, while also praising the Ipswich SHS coaching staff.

Marsden SHS

Apa Twidle (Langer)

In his first ever season at fullback, Twidle has continued to go from strength to strength.

He has found a great balance between challenging the defence with his running and then utilising his pass options to deceive the defence.

Alize Clarke (Walters): Clarke scored a hattrick against Mabel Park and this follows some really strong performances across the competition. A fast outside back, Clarke has gained more confidence as the season has gone.

Mabel Park

Tarawa Latu (Langer)

Edge backrower Latu has an outstanding work ethic and has gone from being on the bench at the start of the season to cementing a spot in the starting side. Has worked hard at training and it’s paying dividends on the field.

Benji Quinlan (Walters Cup)

The Mabel Year 10 student arrived at Mabel as a backup half but through his own hard work, determination and desire to improve, he has now converted to a ball playing lock with a strong carry. His defence in the middle has improved from week to week.

Boston Riggs-Albert:

Biggs-Albert impressed coach Sam Meskell by working “extremely hard on preparing himself physically’’.

“Boston is very coachable so he has improved in a lot of areas, most notably his understanding of defensive play in the middle and he has also developed a pass into his game,’’ Meskell said.

PBC SHS

Barney Litidamu (Langer)

Centre Litidamu originally hails from the sporting rich Darling Downs pastures.

A Fijian with great speed and power, he has done a great job at centre in the absence of injured Australian schoolboy Michael Roberts, while also being a capable edge second rower.

Coach Tim Maccan had him in his Tweed Seagulls Meninga Cup side earlier in the year and knew he could count on him.

Isiah Scanlan (Langer)

Scanlan is a survivor from PBC SHS’s championship 2021 winning side when he came off the bench, a middle forward who has taken his team to a new level across the season.

When PBC SHS were gutted from its premiership winning side, Scanlan stood up to lead the new players in the team and show them what it is all about.

Hai Hiawe King (Walters Cup). A tough as teak young prop with plenty of go forward.

Ipswich SHS

Anton Naiyep (Langer Trophy)

Ipswich SHS rugby league coordinator Josh Bretherton said Naiyep had made the most improvements to his game. “And we have seen that week in and week out from the dynamic and destructive winger,’’ he said.

Naiyep has proved how threatening he can be whether it is as a centre or winger, running the ball with fierce intent and is super strong into contact.

Cayleb Johnson (Langer):

Johnson was Ipswich’s 18th man in the quarterfinals but ended up playing the entire home-and-away season in the Langer Trophy. What a remarkable effort that is.

When Ipswich returned to its full side, he just missed out but like every other member of this unbeaten Ipswich squad, has had his role to play in such a historic season.

“The improvement he has made over the year has been outstanding” Josh Bretherton said.

Bretherton said Xavier Sofeni, Caleb Jackson and Tyler- Peckham Harris had also “taken big jumps from last year.”

Jackson has shone more than anyone could have foreseen, not only with his tryscoring but with the little aspects in his game that he has improved.

Harris has demonstrated how lethal and impactful he can be in the competition, despite being on the lighter side.

Kulu Baruani’s little brother Velonte has shone in Walters. Picture: Patrick Woods.

Walters Cup

Velonte Baruani:

Baruani was without a doubt Ipswich’s most improved for the year.

The Year 10, who is the brother to Langer Trophy wingers Kulu of Ipswich and Munga of Keebra Park.

Velonte took strides forward in his game, strengthening his case of wearing that Langer Trophy No.2 Jersey of his brothers in years to come.

Tahj Pagett:

The versatile halfback was another one of Ipswich’s big improvers over the year. Coach Shane Harris was very impressed with Pagett and Baruani’s progression this year.

Whether it was scoring tries of his own with fancy footwork or showing his vastly developed playmaking ability, Pagett was a clear pick.

Xzavier Timoteo:

Making the Queensland team was a huge jump for Timoteo, a fitting testament to the hard work he put in all season long to better himself as a rugby league player.

Honourable mention: Lorenzo Oliva

Redcliffe SHS

Blake Kehl (Langer):

The hard working, dedicated Hehl has shown great improvement this year.

“It has been great to see how Blake has taken on the challenge of being the key playmaker in our team,’’ said Redcliffe SHS’s head of rugby league Jake Laack.

“Blake’s ability to sum up the situation and take on the line is something that has been important for us in 2022.”

Keebra Park SHS

Wailer Whaiapu (Langer)

Whaiapu, a year 11 student, broke into the Langer last season as a Year 10 student when an injury crisis forced veteran coach Glen Campbell to search the Walters Cup for a Langer bench player.

Campbell decided the best performomg forward in the first half of the Walters Cup game would be taken out of the game and promoted onto the Langer bench an hour later. That player turned out to be Whaiapu.

Wailer Whaiapu from Keebra Park SHS is a big improver.

Keebra Park SHS coach Peter Norman said during the off-season he identified Whaiapu was a terrific defender, but not as effective carrying the ball and as a result was asked to work on his carries.

He responded positively and is Norman’s pick as the team’s most improved player in 2022, alongside Dorian Lotaki.

Dorian Lotaki (Langer)

Keebra Park SHS coach Peter Norman said when Keebra SHS dropped off as a team in their last two matches of the home and away season against Redcliffe SHS and Mabel Park SHS, centre Lotaki never dropped his standards, playing tough for the team.

Wailer Whaiapu from Keebra Park SHS is a big improver.

Wavell SHS

Kobi Floro (Walters Cup)

The local junior grew in the Stafford region and has gone on to do his local high school, Wavell SHS, proud across the season.

Ethan Jones (Langer Cup): Jones is an effort on effort player who was able to give the Warriors impact off the bench while maintaining a high standard in defence.

Kirwan High v Mackay State High in Aaron Payne Cup

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

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.
