It began with the under 8a’s on Saturday morning and ended with an Engadine Dragons whitewash of Cronulla Caringbah in the A Grade decider late on Sunday when a total or 13 Grand Finals were contested at Remondis Stadium over the weekend.
The action was intense and the rugby league of a high standard, with 9 clubs, plus two combined teams represented.
While De La Salle got the ball rolling with an 18-8 win over Aquinas in the under 8’s on Saturday morning, a couple of highlights included a ninth successive title won by Aquinas in the 16’s, with their winning streak dating back to under 8’s, while the Gymea 19s completed seven years in a row for that particular age group.
In the First Grade Grand Final it was all one way traffic, with Engadine running up a 30-0 half time advantage before cruising to a 62-0 victory.
Before the main game on Sunday possibly the best and most competitive match of the day was the Second Grade, with Aquinas showing plenty of fight to come back from 12-0 down to claim a hard fought 16-12 win.
The Grand Finals will continue at Remondis Stadium this weekend with under 8’s through to under 16 Division 2 competing over the two days.
