Under-13s win at rugby sevens

The under-13s rugby league sevens team of Brisbane Water Secondary College, Umina Campus, has won the Central Coast annual rugby league sevens competition.

The campus offered teams in the under-13s, -14s, and -15s categories and was played on August 14 at Rogers Park.

Teacher Mr Mark Rae said: "Unfortunately, both the 14s and 15s teams did not make it through to the final.

"There were some very close games and great performances.

"However, the day belonged to the entire under-13s team.

"Their consistency, teamwork and overall strength physically and mentally were very impressive.

"TJ McLean stood out.

"He played the half-back position creating opportunities the entire day.

"He also was a brick wall in defence, tackling any player he faced, some guys twice his size.

"Overall, the entire team was outstanding.

"They clearly deserved the trophy."

The under 13s team consisted of Daniel Antonio, Jordan Bateman, Zac Schembri, Damien Fleming, Dane Forrest, Jake Hudson, TJ McLean, Nelson McMahon, Joel O'Grady, Josh Pitscheider, Daniel Spratt, and Oscar Turner.
