Major Upset in NQ
         From Tony Tarnawski, Northern Delegate


AUSSIE HOME LOANS CUP

In what was considered a major upset, Abergowrie College defeated a strong Kirwan SHS team 16-10 in the local final. Abergowrie led 10 - 0 at half time and despite Kirwan clawing back to be 10 all with 10 minutes remaining, Abergowrie scored again to put the result beyond doubt.

Abergowrie were well served by a brilliant Matthew Bowen who had defenders clutching at thin air when he scored two 60 metre tries. He also took part in the third try scored by his brother, Brendon.

It was a disappointment for the Kirwan side who tried all night. There were too many uncharacteristic handling mistakes by the team which negated any quality time with the ball. Abergowrie will cause headaches for all opposition they meet.


COWBOYS CHALLENGE - Under 13 and Under 15

Ignatius Park College again displayed the quality of their junior teams when they won both the under 13 and under 15 local competions, by defeating Kirwan SHS and Ryan Catholic Community School respectively. They will now travel to Cairns to play the winner of their region.
