Rugby League Night Comp – Les Stagg Trophy

Holy Spirit Townsville Champions!

After defeating Mundingburra SS, Southern Cross and Marian, ‘SPIRIT’ versed The Willows State School in the Townsville Final in very wet conditions on Monday evening. Despite the rain, our students showed their strength as a team to defeat The Willows 22-8. A further highlight was both teams, at the end of the game, swan diving into the puddles on the edge of the field before posing together for group photo.

HSCS tries achieved by:   2x Blaize, A-Tai, Ashtyn                           

HSCS conversions achieved by: Logan, Eli, Blaize

The team consists of the following students who should be commended for both their sportsmanship and rugby league skills on the field:

A-Tai  6B, Andrew 6A, Lucas 6C, Callum 6C, Zachary 6C, Logan 6B, Eli 6B, Harry 6B, Tyrese 6D, Blaize 6B, Bryce 6C, Giann 6D, Bosse 6C, Mia 6A, Bailey 6A, Zayd 6A, Oliver 5A and Ashtyn 5C. We are proud of the team for their outstanding performances and excellent behavior. This is the first time in 24 years since Holy Spirit has reached the final. 

Thank you to Mr Martin, Mr Clem and Mr Hull for their assistance throughout the competition and to our parents for supporting the team. The strength of our Holy Spirit community has been on display with so many staff, families and friends coming to watch each game to cheer on our students. Well done Team SPIRIT. 

SPIRIT will now play in the North Queensland Final against Proserpine SS next Wednesday, 8 September at 11:30am for the Les Stagg Trophy at Brothers Leagues Club.  

Yours faithfully, and in Sport
