Rugby Representatives

Last fortnight Jesse Bohm and Ryan Bohm headed off to the Queensland School Sport U18 Rugby Union Championships with the Darling Downs Schoolboys Team. The Darling Downs Team finished 6th in the field of ten regions. A tough competition every year and one that can see many upsets from time to time.  Congratulations to the boys on their efforts.

Harry Grayson and Sarah Morris also represented Downs Rugby at the Southern Queensland Championships held at the Sunshine Coast and contested between Gold Coast, Darling Downs and the Sunshine Coast. Southern Queensland teams will now be selected to contest the State Championships over the school holidays. We await these selections to see if Harry and Sarah progress to the next level. Well done to both students.

 

Our youngest players headed to Goondiwindi on Monday to trial for the Darling Downs 11-12 years Rugby Union Team as members of the Border Heelers Team. Lachlan Doyle, Charlie McCosker, Jai Gray, Bronx Hamilton were all eager to attend this trial and all put up a good fight but were unfortunately not successful in making the final cut to the Possibles and Probables trial.
