Major
Championship Final
Northern v
Peninsula
Northern region claimed the open schoolboy
rugby league State Championship with a comprehensive 32-12 caning
of North Queensland rivals Peninsula, in muddy conditions at
Kougari Oval. It was a sweet victory for the Townsville boys, who
lost the title to Peninsula last year. The strength of their
performances at Wynnum saw Northern gain seven places in the
Queensland Open Schoolboys' team which was announced at the close
of the carnival.
With Northern leading 10-0
and five minutes left to half time, Kirwan's Michael Luck made a
strong charge from mid-field and off-loaded to winger Edmund
Chapman, who scored untouched under the posts. Northern 14-0.
They went to the break with a surprising 20 point margin over the
defending champions, after Kieran Quagliotto scored and Justin
McKay converted.
Northern resumed their
assault with Justin McKay scoring after 8 minutes. He converted
his own try, and Northern led 26-0. However Peninsula were able
to put a move on, which saw Clint Arnol go over. The conversion
eased the Peninsula embarrassment just a little, at 26-6. But
Northern had not finished the rout, and Adam Fletcher scored
another try which McKay converted, for a shock 32-6 lead over the
champs.
Peninsula scored again late
in the game, but the result by then was sealed. Northern region
had wrested back the championship trophy which Peninsula claimed
from them last year.
Northern 32 (K
Quagliotto 2, J Anderson, E Chapman, J McKay, A Fletcher tries; J
McKay 3, M Bowen goals) def Peninsula 12 (C
Arnol, M Kidner tries; S Sheppard 2 goals). Players of
match: Michael Luck (Northern); Dallas Johnson
(Peninsula).
