Bill Turner Cup – Tenterfield

Glen Innes High 15’s boys ventured to Tenterfield to take them on in the Bill Turner Cup competition.

After a tentative start in the first half, and a penalty shot for Loki, along with some good passages of defense and attack, the boys saw themselves behind 1-2. 

After a few changes and great pep talk by coach Mr Wright, the boys came out blazing. The strong defensive line led by Atlan held Tenterfield out, Gus and Loki were exceptional in the mids with Mav and Lachlan constantly on the hunt up front. All the boys banded together and contributed well. 

Hatricks to Lachlan Green and Leelan Gibson in the second half saw a final score 7-2 with a solid dominance in the second half.

It was fantastic to watch the boys grow in strength and team cohesion.

The boys will now take on Holy Trinity in round 2 in the coming weeks.

A big Thankyou to Tony Wright for his tips and knowledge shared with the boys.

Well done!
