Rugby League - Toni Palmer Memorial Shield
Yesterday our year 5 & 6 Rugby League team travelled to Inverell to participate in the very first annual Toni Palmer Memorial Shield Cup. Our team had been training very hard with Mr Casson and Mr Killeen and this showed at the carnival. Mr Casson is very proud of the way the boys played together and the fantastic sportsmanship displayed. The team won two of their four games and can be very proud of these results. Thank you to Mrs Knights for capturing some fantastic pictures from the day.

They played together in under 10's division this meant Baylen and Lukas played up two divisions. The team played 4 games in their pool coming away with 3 wins. All three boys scored a goal at some point in the day. In the finals the team came away with 3rd place out of 10 teams.
