The record breaking Kirwan High State rugby league team faces the biggest occasion ofthe year at ANZ Stadium tomorrow when it attempts to end Palm Beach Currumbin State High's supremacy in the Kellog's Nutri- Grain Cup.

It will be a hectic weekend for Kirwan's Ashley Alberts, Derrick Watkins, Brenton Bowen and Simon Phillips, who travel to Brisbane tomorrow morning after playing for the N.Q Young Guns against Newcastle today.

Kirwan High coach Grant Bell said his players had few complaints after they were out-classed in yesterdays Nutri-Grain cup Qld final.
Kirwan never really got going and were on the end of a 26-6 mauling at the hand of Palm Beach-Currumbin.
Bell said while his players were disappointed they would not be bring the trophy north, they accepted they had been outplayed by a superior team. Palm Beach led 16-6 at half time and controlled the 2nd half to run out winners and deny Kirwan their dream of a State title.
It's a disappointing finish to our season but we can look back on a year in which we achieved a great deal. Bell expects at least seven of yesterdays squad to back up next year, meaning Kirwan can look forward to another big year of schoolboy rugby league.
We've got a good group of kids coming through and this year's team has alreay laid the foundation for them for next year. If you also take into account what Palm Beach-Currumbin have achieved, it's easy to see that the future looks very good at a statewide level.
Well done Palm Beach, all the best in the finals.

I think it's a great achievement for the school retread. If they have half the side backing up again next year they will be competetive.

Do the cowbiys have most of these young blokes on scholarships? Surely with a successful scholl in their area, they will start to reap the benefits in the not too distant future. Is the school far from the cowboys home ground, which is also located in Kirwan isn't it?

 

[Ramit54]

Almost all the players are Cowboy scholarship holders. The Cowboyslook like loosing Trevor Bowman to the Bulldogs. The School is walking distance to Dairy Farmers Stadium.
A few of the boys have had a taste of 1st Division this year.
Ashley Alberts, Derrick Watkins, Brenton Bowen (cousin of Matt) and Simon Phillips played for the Young Guns on Saturday night, then flew to Brisbane on Sunday morning to play for Kirwan. Imo Ashley Alberts will play first grade next year. He is very talented.

Retread, where did Kirwan High finish in the schoolboys comp last year? I'd thought Kirwan might have been too strong with all those Qld schoolboy reps in their side but Palm Beach once again proved they are the best school in Qld.

Does any one have the scorers for the game?

 

[Ramit54]

Matt i'm not sure but i think they got knocked out by Abergowrie College in the local area last year. Or that was the year before an St. Pats Mackay knocked them out. My mind is a blank at the moment.
Sorry i don't have any scorers from the game.

Retread, that's ok. I thought the Townsville Bulletin might have had the scorers listed. I wonder ifthe Gold Coast paper has printed them??

 

[imported_Kaon]

Does anyone know if the Westfields v. St Gregs game was on before the Sharks Bulldogs game?

 

[Ramit54]

Qld champions Palm Beach Currumbin will be playing St.Dominics Penrith in the National semi-final of the Nutri-Grain Cupon Friday as a curtain-raiser to the Sharks v Broncos match.
Go the boys from Palm Beach.

Palm Beach Currumbin have advanced to the grand final after a 22-6 win over St Dominics last night. They will now face St Gregory's College at the SFS next Saturday.

Let's hope the boys from the Gold Coast school can finally break the duck for Qld.

Well done Palm Beach.
All the best next week.
