The Central Coast Rugby Sevens was held at Kariong and over 15 teams participated in the event. We entered two sides and both represented St Edward’s with pride. Team 2 beat Northlakes High School before losing a close one to Kincumber High School, and then finished with a draw to Central Coast Sports College. This was a great effort from the boys as some had never played rugby before. Team 1 was unstoppable, beating Kincumber High School, Central Coast Sports College and St Phillips Christian College to claim the title as Central Coast Champions! It was a successful day and the Black and Red spirit was certainly on show for all to see.

Under 14’s
The inaugural Broken Bay Sevens tournament was played at EDSACC, Bateau Bay, and it was a great opportunity for the students to test themselves against fellow Catholic schools within the diocese. Before the tournament we had a few students pull out due to injury etc but this did not faze the boys, as it was a successful day which culminated in our team receiving a silver medal after a narrow defeat against the eventual winners. Congratulations to the team. The results were:
St Edward’s College vs St Paul’s Catholic College: Win 30-10
St Edward’s College vs St Leo’s Catholic College: Win 40-0
St Edward’s College vs Mater Maria Catholic College: Loss 10-15
St Edward’s College vs St Brigid’s Catholic College: Win 50-0
St Edward’s College vs MacKillop Catholic College: Win 20-5
