Grand Final First XIII V Kirwan State High School at TDJRL In front of a good crowd, the First XIII ran onto TDJRL with their parents watching. A string of penalties and mistakes saw the Ignatius park boys forced to continually defend their line and that they did for the opening half. In a good defensive display, the First XIII turned away raids but weight of possession was too much and Kirwan ran in three tries close together. Iggy drew first blood after the break and clawed back the margin trailing 20 to 4. In true Ignatius Park spirit the boys kept turning up for each other and once again started to claw their way back into the contest. With the clock ticking down, Kirwan wore us down with more possession and ran in some late tries. Unfortunately, in the end the final score was 38 – 10 earning Kirwan the number 1 ranking in NQ. (IPC 10 – Tries: Eddie Hampson, Braithen Knox Goals: Thomas Duffy (1/2) defeated by KSHS 38) Throughout this article I have purposely tried to only name the try scorers in the major games. The reason for this is there were far too many great
efforts to single out individual players. Aaron Payne Cup campaigns are not contested on the back of an individual effort, an individual play or even an individual moment. To the Ignatius Park College First XIII, you are an amazing group of young men of whom your coaches, families, friends and school community are extremely proud. On behalf of the group I would like to thank Principal, Mr Shaun Clarke, his leadership team and entire staff for their continued support. I would also like to recognise Fr Rod Ward, Mr Gary Cook, Mr Bill Ahern, Mr Frank Iemma, Mr Tristan NellimanAdams, Mr Matthew Stark, Mr Liam Jameson and Ms Kayleen Foster for the hours and hours of work you have put in with the boys every single day for the past 10 months. The coaching staff as a whole did a fantastic job in ensuring that the boys were physically and mentally prepared and, for that, I cannot thank them enough.
