Touch
The U10s Boys Rep Touch Team, including Flynn, Jett, and Hudson, has rewritten the record books twice in the last few weeks!
Northern Eagles Comp (Coffs Harbour): They were the first Tamworth U10s boys side to go undefeated into the Quarter Finals.
Junior State Cup (Dubbo): They became the first Titans team in the modern day to break past the Round of 16 and reach the Quarter Finals.
OzTag
These Year 6 boys recently travelled to Coffs Harbour to compete in the State Oztag Championships. While the results didn't go their way, the team demonstrated grit and team spirit throughout the competition.
It was a fantastic learning experience and an opportunity to develop skills, resilience and sportsmanship alongside friends. We are incredibly proud of each and every one of them. A special mention also goes to Baylen's dad - Dan, who proudly supported the team as Assistant Coach.
Well done boys!
