Confraternity Shield Recap – Rockhampton 2025
The boys headed to Rockhampton for this year’s Confraternity Shield. Having trained since the start of Term 1 and coming off strong performances in the Mercy Shield and winning the Arthur Beetson Cup, the team arrived full of confidence.
Drawn in a tough pool that included last year’s Division 3 winners, the team started the week strongly with a 26-10 win over St Mary’s, highlighted by Charlie Jenkins bulldozing over for two impressive tries. Narrow losses to Ryan Catholic College and Chanel College followed, which placed us in the Challenge Shield playoffs for Thursday’s matches.
A Lachlan Anderson double capped off a dominant win over Chisolm College in our first finals match. Lincoln Ogilvie’s impressive solo effort in a close game against Faith Lutheran saw us progress to Friday’s final.
In a hard-fought rematch against St Mary’s, the boys put in a gallant effort but just fell short of the win. Despite the result, their performance showcased the incredible hard work, dedication, and growth the team has displayed over the past few months.
A big thank you to the staff and officials who supported the team throughout the week: Mr Edwards, Mr Creeley, Mr Penrose, Mr Anderson, Mr Coonan, and Mr Brennan.
