Rugby Union McTaggart Cup

Last Wednesday, Leeton Public School had two teams

participate in the Rugby Union McTaggart Cup in Wagga

Wagga.

Our Stage 3 Students opened their play against Mater Dei.

From the initial kick off, LPS quickly produced the ball at each

break down and with some slick passing, frequently got the

ball out wide to score with great regularity, finishing the game

ahead 8 tries to nil. In their next game against St Mary's 2

(from Young), the team again produced the ball at the ruck

after many strong tackles, turning their defence into attack,

eventually winning the game 4 tries to 1. This placed LPS

against Cootamundra Primary School in the semi final.

Cootamndra quickly built a two try lead through some quick

play and speed on the outside. Leeton Public soon started to

run the ball with greater determination, reproducing the ball at

each break down to score and tighten the game. With

mounting pressure, we approached the Cootamundra line, but

fell only metres short of scoring the equaling try on the final

bell. Cootamundra won the game 2 tries to 1, and went on to

win the Stage 3 side of the tournament.

The Stage 2 LPS Team started the day against Yanco Public

School. The game quickly opened up with many of our

students being able to run through some open space and

ended the game winning 6 ties to nil. In the second game, we

played against St Mary's 2 (from Young) in what became a

very back and forth match. Each time we scored, St Mary's

would answer back, until we scored a try late in the game to

win 3 tries to 2. This placed the Stage 2 team in the final

against Griffith Public. Again, another back and forth game

ensued, with each team pushing their opponent near the try

line without success. It wasn't until the last minute of play that

we scored, and the final hooter went off. LPS was the Stage 2

winner of the McTaggart Cup one try to nil, and has been

asked to participate in the competition further in Canberra in

May (details will be sent home when made available). Solomon

Liu was also named the player of the match in the Stage 2

final.

Not only did we have two LPS teams participate at the event,

but we also had some students support Yanco Public by

playing on their teams throughout the day. Congratulations to

all the students who played with enthusiasm

and sportsmanship throughout the day. Well done Kade

McLennan, Luke Bechaz, Wesley Wate, Connor Owens, Eli

Lepper, Tate Pauls, Iowani Korovata, Tristan Hamlin, Kobe

Jeffriess, Hamish Stout, Zavier McVittie, Josh Wallace, Izac

McDonald, Jye Teerman, Sebastian Crelley, Eddie Morschel,

Tennyson Sales, Thomas Johnstone, Jack Clark, Vula Wate,

Jye Thompson, Jez Lashbrook, Tyce Thornton and Liam

Collins.

Thank you to all the parents, grandparents and supporters who

travelled over on the day to assist with private transportation of

the students and to cheer on Leeton Public School.
