Scots College Rugby 7’s Carnival

This weekend 12 students from St Teresa’s Catholic College are heading to Sydney to take part in the Scots College Schoolboy Rugby Sevens Carnival.

This invitational carnival only accepts 12 teams from around the South Pacific and features some of the best Rugby 7’s schools in the region.

St Teresa’s has drawn Westfield Sports High and Brisbane State High in their pool providing them with a challenging set of pool fixtures.

Other teams at the carnival include The Scots College, Palmerston North Boys High (NZ), OTML Schoolboys (PNG), AIS (Singapore), Canberra Grammar and the Lloyd McDermott Development Team.

Regardless of the result, this will be a fantastic experience for the St Teresa’s boys and it will no doubt benefit their Rugby 7’s campaign later in the year. Despite some key injuries, the squad features several players who were part of the St Teresa’s U16 and U18 sides who comprehensively took out the 2013 Sunshine Coast Schools 7’s Carnivals.

Port Douglas rugby tournament on the rise

By The Newsport Daily

Organisers are anticipating a record crowd ahead of the annual Port Douglas Rugby Sevens tournament this Saturday.

More than 150 players representing nineteen teams will take the field with $5000 awarded to the winning senior men's team.
Now in its fourth year, organiser Adam Calcraft says the tournament's reputation continues to grow.

"We started off with just eight teams at our first tournament," he says.

"This year, most of the sides have contacted us to play in it which is a good sign."

The carnival will also feature defending champions, the Tabubil Cats direct from Papua New Guinea. Mr Calcraft says the Cats will be hard to beat again this year.
