2009 PSA competition and we are already at the half way point. Last weekend against our Red and Black rivals down the road, the younger boys led the way&nbsp; with the Year 8 and 9 teams both having comprehensive wins against Aquinas. Unfortunately the Year 10s and 2nd XV just couldnt get over the line in close fought encounters and the 1st XV once again allowed victory to slip through their grasp with the oppostion scoring with the last play of the game, to have to settle for a draw.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"; color:#666666'>If we compare this season's start to last year's then the Trinity Rugby community should be pleased with the boys' efforts. Most teams have been competitive and have shown an improvement on last years' efforts. Although I think the players themselves at all levels would be the first to admit that there have been a few games where things didn't go to plan.&nbsp;<strong><i><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>The second half of the season is now&nbsp;your opportunity boys to improve on those minor things and go ahead so we can finish the year on a high note.</span></i></strong><o:p></o:p></span></p> <p><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"; color:#666666'>I'd like to take this opportunity to thank all parents for their continued support.

color:#666666'>Following a very successful pre season tour to Sydney and some tough training sessions back here in Perth the 1st XV went into the first game full of confidence against the much fancied Scotch College. The boys were out to cause an upset on our first outing on the newly named Ken Sass Field. Although we were up against the largest pack of forwards in the competition the boys gave their all and demonstrated that all the work done during pre season had played off. Unfortunately with the last play of the game Scotch scored a try, and should have won the game with the conversion, but Sassy's powers must have been on our side and we came away with a respectable draw. Although disappointed at having thrown away a 13 -0 lead we were still happy with our structure and the way we competed against a much more physical side.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"; color:#666666'>We went into our next two games no longer the underdogs and went on to a convincing 30 -0 win over Guildford, although a bonus point would have been nice and then won a hard fought game against Wesley at home.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"; color:#666666'><br> We played Christ Church in the midweek game and broke all records with a stunning display of attacking team rugby with a 83 - 0 win, this gave the boys great confidence going into the big one against Hale. Although we were the underdogs, we really fancied our chances against a very strong Hale outfit, but just came up short with a lack continuity and control letting us down on the day. Our final game of the 1st round of matches was against Aquinas and yet again we allowed a winning position slip by through a lack of control and some suspect defense to allow Aquinas a creditable 25 - 25 draw. The boys were bitterly disappointed by the result and this leaves us third in the competition at the half way point.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"; color:#666666'>The aim at the start of the season was to crack the top three, an achievement that has not been successful since 2002. So we are on the right track, but know that our lack of bonus points has really let us down and that we need to stick to our structure, like we achieved in the Christ Church game in order to sustain this position and hopefully aim for higher honours.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"; color:#666666'><br> <strong><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Geraint Lewis 1st XV Coach</span></strong><br> &nbsp;<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p><strong><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"; color:blue'>2nd XV</span></strong><span style='font-size:9.0pt; font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#666666'><o:p></o:p></span></p> <p><strong><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"; color:blue'>Trinity College 5 V Aquinas College 14</span></strong><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#666666'><o:p></o:p></span></p> <p><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"; color:#666666'><br> The boys fronted up to the challenge of Aquinas with their heads switched on after last weeks poor performance. We started off strong with both teams battling it out and with our forwards actually counter rucking some ball. We were unable to turn our pressure in their half into points and Aquinas struck back scoring a try with a few minutes to go in the half and converted to go into the break 7-0 up. The boys raised their heads at half time knowing that we were fully capable of coming back in what had proved already to be an even contest.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"; color:#666666'>We went into the second half ready for a hard contest. Within 10 minutes we scored our first with Max Fairclough crossing the line under the posts after a series of hard fought forward pick and gos. The game then progressed with both Aquinas and us attacking hard with errors coming from both sides. With 3 minutes to go we were 5metres out and looked dangerous to score but through lack of forward support in the ruck we lost the ball and Aquinas quick to counter attack scored after a short period of sloppy missed tackles by the boys. The final whistle sounded with Aquinas winning the game 14-5 in what was a hard fought game. I must say the boys did play&nbsp;well&nbsp;and fought hard this week but it was the simple mistakes that let us down and next week we have to focus on playing like a team not a pack of individuals.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"; color:#666666'><br> &nbsp;</span><strong><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"; color:blue'>JAMES WHELAN</span></strong><span style='font-size:9.0pt; font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#666666'><o:p></o:p></span></p> <p><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"; color:#666666'><img id="_x0000_i1038" src="http://www.loadedstudios.com.au/trinitycollege/v16/pic2.jpg"><br> <br> <img id="_x0000_i1039" src="http://www.loadedstudios.com.au/trinitycollege/v16/pic3.jpg"><o:p></o:p></span></p> <p><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"; color:#666666'>&nbsp;<strong><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>2nd XV Mid-Season Report</span></strong><o:p></o:p></span></p> <p><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"; color:#666666'>The 2nd XV rugby team has a lot to be proud of and a lot of things to work on as we hit the mid season break. We stand now with 1 win, 1 draw and 3 losses. This time last season the 2nd XV had not won a single game and went through the whole season not getting within 10 points of even winning a single game. We have already bettered the results of last year's team and we are improving with each performance. The squad is working hard to fix the areas that are letting us down and improving the areas that we are good at. We are travelling in a positive direction even with the loss against Aquinas last week by just a narrow margin.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"; color:#666666'>The difficult thing about playing in the 2nd XV is that many people play out of their normal positions due to players either going up to 1st&nbsp; XV level or dropping down. There have been many outstanding players in the 2nd XV thus far including Michael Ricciardello for his outstanding performance in the lineouts week after week, Nick Brown with his lineout throwing, Declan Shortt for his consistent attitude to playing the game the way we have trained at, and lastly but definitely not the least Matt Polomka for his efforts on the wing.

It was a test for the team to see how they dealt with less experienced players in the starting line up. Positive things came from this as we saw team mates which previously had little game time, excelling and certainly putting themselves up for contention for a starting spot next week. <br> Though with a lack of field position in the first half, we lacked in attacking intensity and it was not long before Aquinas scored 2 tries.

Next up was a steep learning curve against a robust well structured Guildford Grammar (5-38). To the boys credit they quickly acquired some physicality and intensity winning the next game against Wesley College (29-19). We travelled to Hale School in support of the 1st and 2nd XV and showed that we can mix it with the best, going down narrowly two tries to three (14-21), having dominated Hale for much of the game.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"; color:#666666'>With some of our boys a little down on game time essential for their development, we reorganized the starting line-up for the Aquinas College game to better accommodate the full squad.

The enthusiasm and energy that all players have demonstrated so far, at both training and in games has been commendable. As we turn into the second half of the season all players have steadily improved their fitness which was a real concern at the start of the season. As this area has improved the&nbsp;Year 9 as team has played attacking, positive Rugby and some pleasing results have been achieved.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"; color:#666666'><br> One important focus of the team has been discipline and the ability to work as a team. This has steadily improved. The loss against the Hale School, I feel, was a turning point of the season. All players realised that they are capable of being a real force in the Year 9 competition and it is with great expectation that we try to redeem the result at Waterford later in the season. Our first game of the season vs. Scotch College was disappointing; however it showed us the commitment required to play at a high standard. Strong wins against Guildford , Wesley and Aquinas has certainly helped to strengthen our confidence in our team-mates and the style of Rugby we play.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"; color:#666666'><br> I would like to commend Connor Spence for his example and leadership so far this season. It has been noticeable how other players have also taken upon leadership roles during games. The strength of the A team has been reliant upon the Magic Squad, many players have been called upon as a result of injury and performed admirably. Having depth in the Year 9 squad means there is competition for every position, this is a healthy state for the&nbsp;Year 9 squad.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"; color:#666666'><br> I would also like to thank the Year 9 parents for their continued support so far this season. It is great to see the strong Rugby culture at Trinity College and I know the players (and myself) are very appreciative each week.<br> It is important as a group that we maintain the effort for the rest of the season and most importantly that we enjoy playing the game. We seem to be building momentum and with the up-coming break it is important that players maintain their fitness. The season will bring other challenges to us as a team and squad and it is important that we always remain positive and wear our school colours with pride.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"; color:#666666'><br> <strong><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Simon Turner Year 9 Coach</span></strong><o:p></o:p></span></p> <p><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"; color:#666666'>&nbsp;<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p><strong><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"; color:blue'>Year 8</span></strong><span style='font-size:9.0pt; font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#666666'><o:p></o:p></span></p> <p><strong><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"; color:blue'>Aquinas College 5 V Trinity College 32</span></strong><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#666666'><o:p></o:p></span></p> <p><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"; color:#666666'>We came into the game determined but knowing it will be a physical encounter.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"; color:#666666'>We won the coin toss for the game and elected to kick. We stole the ball a few plays later and with some well structured phases Jacob Phoebe ran a great inside ball and ran over for a try. Next with some broken tackles Jacob Phoebe busted over for his second try in the corner which raised some eyebrows and frustration to the other team about whether he was out or not. With confidence reaching the arrogance point it created a lapse in our concentration creating a hole for the Aquinas backline to exploit.&nbsp;Our discipline was also&nbsp;lost&nbsp;and the Aquinas try turned out to&nbsp;be a good thing&nbsp;and put us back in our place. Now with realization that&nbsp;Aquinas wouldn't &nbsp;be a push over we stepped up. With a red ball called (backline ball) Angus Gillespie got a hit up ball from Peter Fitzgerald and broke the line and got a runaway try. Later on with some black balls called (forward hit up) Conall Taggart our halfback dummied the open side black ball and ran blind 35 metres for a try to end the half.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"; color:#666666'>We went into the second half with a plan not to let&nbsp;Aquinas score another try. But for the first part of the half that didn t look like it was going to happen with Aquinas keeping their composure, but with some good defense from the back of the scrum and in the back line we held them off. Later with a great lineout catch from Simon Nicole, and a great move called by Peter which was also well executed,&nbsp; Luke Hutchinson strolled over the line for a try. After a few close missed tries for both teams and the game coming&nbsp;towards its end Noah Harris striped the ball from the ruck and ran over for a try which finished the game with a score of 32 -5.

Trinity wiped them off the park within the first half with tries from 4 different players in the team. Special mention goes to Angus Gillespie who scored a hat-trick of tries. We knew that Guilford would be a stern test this early in the season with many players not having played before. We struggled against their size and this showed&nbsp; when we had some weaknesses in defense. So we hit the training ground hard the next week and the team's attitude was excellent. Wesley were a big pack of forwards and they had good pace outside but our improved defense stood strong and we had too much fire power; Conall Taggart playing a captain's role and scoring 3 excellent tries. Hale were next and we prepared well and knew that we faced a team with far more experience than us. It was a very close game with both teams scoring quality tries. Frank Mannel got the hard man award for trying to play on with a broken leg! Trinity struggled to hit top gear throughout the game and found it hard to cover their backline out wide. Again I was very impressed with the response from the loss, we worked on improving our structure in attack and didn t Aquinas know it. Right from the whistle Trinity looked focused and determined and our structured attack worked well with 5 different players scoring superb tries.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"; color:#666666'><br> The season has been a sharp learning curve for some of our players and the team has worked very hard on playing as a unit.
