Match Report 6th May
Right from the kick off, Marist camped themselves in Gunghalins territory and stayed there for the next 20 minutes. Gunghalin lost the match in the first half when they failed to keep up with a rampaging Marist side, whose intensity and precision was too much for the visitors to handle. Some excellent rucking with strong cleanouts allowed clean ball for the backs to work their magic. Hunter Bailey took the ball up following a penalty to Marist and took 3 Gunghalin boys with him over the line. Further tries to Jacob Knobel and a pair to Joseph Phillips and the boys came in for some well earned oranges at half time.
Gunghalin came out in the second half with more vigour and camped themselves in the Marist territory. The boys defended well, withstanding some strong scrums and spirited running from the large Gunghalin forward pack to keep them scoreless. Two more tries in the second half to Charlie Taylor and a sneaky intercept to Lachlan Smith and the final whistle was blown with a comprehensive 32-0 victory to the boys in blue.

It was a great all round effort from the boys against Easts. From the first whistle they all fronted up with some intimidating defence and strong running into contact. After posting early points it seemed to be all one sided but the boys didn't let up. Our clean outs so far have been outstanding and we dominated again to the point where the referee asked us to ease up. He also asked for us to ease up on set play defence. The backs ran the ball well and put together some great hands to see the ball move wide throughout the 2nd half, while the forewards forced Easts to uncontested scrums with some dominant shoves. A great result to keep Easts scoreless and look forward to improving on our great start to the season.
Match Report 20th May
The U10 Royals showed plenty of confidence in their performance on Saturday against a large St Edmunds outfit. The pitch was in surprisingly good condition even after receiving 50ml of rain the previous night and the boys enjoyed practicing slide tries in the wetter edge sections of the field in the pre game warmup. This was to be an omen as right from the opening whistle Marist camped themselves in Eddies territory and after a series of rucks with multiple pick and drives Ben Martino stormed over for the first try of the match. Further tries to Bede Foggarty and a pair to Koen McCann and the boys came in for oranges.
The St. Eddies outfit were not going down without a fight and showed some discipline with a more concerted effort in the second half. It was a slower half dominated by set pieces with Marist showing superior scrumaging techniques to win multiple tight heads. Joseph Phillips scored a try but St Eddies managed to get on the board late in the second half with a try out wide. With a failed conversion attempt the final score was a comprehensive 29-5 victory to Marist.
