1st XV

In a great return to our home ground, Mckay 1, the 1^st XV put on a show worthy for our supporters. In a close game against St Josephs 3rds we ultimately went down in the final minutes to lose 19-16. With free-flowing rugby and an emphasis on territory we continued our run into form that sees every week a vast improvement on the last. With every player rising to the occasion of contesting a strong joeys outfit we were unlucky not to finish with the win. From here we will look towards next week where we will be playing the St Josephs 17A’s and continue searching for our deserving victory. Thank you for your continuing support.

13Cs

On Saturday, 15^th August, the 13C’s played against Joeys at Rushcutters bay. Right after the C’s kick-off, Joeys scored a try straight up, followed by a beautiful conversion. Everyone on our team was disappointed, but we didn’t give up. The rest of the first half wasn’t so bad, with High only letting in 4 tries, an improvement compared to last week. We made some good tackles, but we still didn’t score. The second half was worse than the first, with High letting in 7 tries. By the end of the day, the C’s were exhausted and hurting, but we all had fun.

13Ds

The 13Ds played the Joeys, a formidable opponent showing much improvement from their first game. The tackling had improved significantly, and the team never gave up, which eventually led to two tries.

Congratulations on a great effort by the entire team, and an extra congratulations to Pinyan Gao and Bevan Xie who managed to score their first tries of the season.
Overall, a good job.
