News from Matt Di Salvo

It has been a busy start to Saints Sport in 2026, with training and competition ramping up for what promises to be an exciting year. Our CISSA squads have played a friendly round against Trinity Bay and our Round 1 fixture against Redlynch College. The first round of the CISSA competition saw Saints score a clean sweep against Redlynch College with a perfect round with victories across all five of our sports. We take on Bentley Park College in our next round in Week 6 in an away fixture.

Meanwhile, our AFLQ Cup, Bill Turner, SFP, and Rugby League teams have completed trials and have begun or will begin training ahead of their upcoming seasons. Good luck to all teams in the week ahead!  

 

Junior Rugby League Local Competition 

Our Year 7 and Year 8/9 Rugby League teams started their season with games against Trinity Bay SHS and Bentley Park College. Both teams faced tough opening losses but displayed great character and resilience, setting a strong foundation for improvement in the coming rounds.  

 

Round 2 saw Saints take on Bentley Park College. The Year 7 team raced out to an early 18-0 lead dominating possession and field position. However, some small lapses on either side of half time saw the lead reduced to just two points before we scored the final two tries to take a comfortable 26-16 victory. Our Year 9s competed in a back and forth encounter trading tries with Bentley Park. Despite looking strong at times throughout the game, ill-discipline let us down and we succumbed to a 20-22 point loss.  

 

Both teams will look to get wins against Cairns SHS next Wednesday in our away fixture.
