In the girls’ match, City prop Sianah Misa scored two second-half tries in a powerhouse display.

City led 18-4 at half-time and fought off a gallant Country comeback which looked threatening following tries to Diaz Bowen and Hayley Wainwright.

In the boys’ match, Country fullback Derek Ahwang was in scintillating form, crossing for four tries in the 28-point win.

Country led 28-0 at half-time, but City refused to back down in the second half with Jordan Tuuga-Stevenson and Toetu Misipati Toetu both crossing the line.

The Queensland Under 17 City – Boys team proved too strong in their representative match, claiming a 52-20 win at Moreton Daily Stadium against their Country counterparts.

Successful City coach Jesse Maclean said he was happy with the way his team came together during the build up to their game.

“Camp was really good, all the City boys have played against each other before, so that’s a head start,” Maclean said.

“The Country boys, their geographical spread is a lot bigger than here, so that was more challenging for them no doubt, but the quality of the game today, the boys all identified it as really fast so, the camp was good, lots of relationships being formed so hopefully we can stick with them for the next couple of years.”mozer

Outstanding hooker Blake Mozer was awarded player of the match honours, but his halves Gray and Lynn also had strong games which translated to good performances across the team.

“Jye Gray and Josh Lynn were outstanding, Josh was coming in off an injury,” Maclean said.

“Jye’s a really good footballer, his favourite player is Cody Walker from the looks of his footy, he’s got a lot of potential.

“It’s a really good group, no one was out place.

“We knew what we were good at, our hookers were really sharp, the boys have got footy in them, they are not afraid to throw the footy around; you just need equal possession to get to the point where you can.”

Queensland Under 17 Country flyer Vinjenzo ‘VJ’ Winterstein Vinjenzo doing the Winterstein name proud

Author : Joel Gould QRL Media

The rugby league baton has been passed from one famous Winterstein to the other in recent decades and Queensland Under 17 Country flyer Vinjenzo ‘VJ’ Winterstein is the next in line.

Vinjenzo is doing his family name proud as he follows in the footsteps of other highly regarded Wintersteins who have graced the sporting arena.

His older brother Antonio, who won the 2015 premiership with the North Queensland Cowboys, is just one of them.

“Vinjenzo and I represent a name that stretches all the way throughout the South Pacific and New Zealand and we are caregivers of that last name,” Antonio said.

“My father Vincent played for the Western Samoa rugby league team in the Pacific Cup and put the Winterstein name on the map and he was able hand that baton off to his children.

“This is Vinjenzo’s opportunity to do the last name proud and he is doing that, not only through his football, but his schooling as well, which was the main reason for him to move up here to Townsville.

“Luckily he had the talent to get into these representative teams and the Kirwan [State High] Bears side.”

Vinjenzo, 16, will take on the Queensland Under 17 City side on Saturday after a strong season with Kirwan State High in the Aaron Payne Cup.

“I was stoked when I got picked for Country. I’m not sure what position I will be in the team but I usually play winger or fullback,” Vinjenzo said.

“I am really excited to get out there. I always went to my older brother’s games when I was younger and it made me want to follow in his footsteps. When he was at the Brisbane Broncos I’d get tickets and watch him.

“Then when the Cowboys won the title I was in the grandstand watching with the family. I remember that night like it was yesterday.

“He has been a big inspiration to me. We had a big backyard and when we had a family gatherings all the cousins would come around and play.”

Vinjenzo, who also plays club football for Norths in Townsville, said he had learned plenty this year off his Kirwan coaches Nathan Norford and Todd Wilson.

He has moulded his game on former New Zealand Warriors skipper Roger Tuivasa-Sheck, and his brother of course.

“I just love Roger’s footwork and the way he carries himself throughout his games,” Vinjenzo said.

“My brother was one of my favourite players. The coaches used to tell me he was one of the toughest players out there. He always did his job.”

Antonio is now right behind his younger brother to make sure he fulfils his potential.

“Getting selection in a representative team is always a bonus and we are very proud as a family,” Antonio said.

“He has come a long way from a small skinny to how he has built himself up and he has worked extremely hard to get to where he is.

“There is a big age difference, but when I made my NRL debut at the Broncos he was old enough to be part of my career, so it is only natural he would take it on as a passion.

“He was brought up around rugby league with myself and my father being so involved in rugby league. He caught the bug so I have the privilege of passing the baton off to him.”

Antonio said his brother had “great support” from the Kirwan Bears and their rugby league academy, and from the Winterstein family.

“He is involved in the Cowboys academy system as well so he has the right support around him to be able to prepare physically,” Antonio said.

“Where I come into the picture is how I can support him and prepare him mentally to cope with the pressure and stresses that come with it.

“Vinjenzo lives with me, my wife and four daughters, so he has the pleasure of being a role model to his nieces. Everyone calls him ‘Jenzo’.”
