The side was enthusiastic and in each game they displayed courage and grit to play above their weight against strong opposition. It was a successful day and after finishing second in their pool, the boys rallied to win their quarter final match before succumbing to the overall champs, Hunter Sports School, in the semi final. Thank you to Mr Foster, Mr Carpenter and Mr Paull for the support and everyone who contributed to such a great day of rugby.

On Tuesday 29 August, the College was invited to compete in the Newcastle and Hunter Valley Rugby 7’s tournament. Over 20 schools were present on the day, with St Edward’s being placed in the pool round with Hunter Sports High School, St Joseph’s College Lochinvar and Newcastle High School. While it was an entertaining day of rugby, the results did not go our way, with 2 losses and a win. However, the boys have the opportunity to regroup and compete in the upcoming NSW Schools 7’s final being the highest placed Central Coast team. We wish them the best of luck for next week.
