Last Thursday, Dominic LeMilliere, Layne Trotter, Travis Munro, Jasper Taunton, Chaz Noble, Harry Guest, Harry Smith, Will Gillingham, Jack Rogers, Justin Norrie, Blayne O’Dempsey, Morgan Bridge, Kaleb Johnson, Darcy Brazel, Ben DiDonna, Brent Hourigan, Mitch Beddoes, Richard Knox- Greenaway, Sonny Johnson and Ambrose Swan represented Moree Public School at the North West 7s Gala Day. Students were worthy representatives of their school and certainly reflected the NSW Waratahs key values: respect, pride, accountability and inclusiveness.
Both teams did exceptionally well throughout the day as they developed their rucking and mauling skills against St Philomenas, Bingara Central School and Warialda Public School.
The Under 10s team went through undefeated in their pool games. In a tense and exciting double over time final, Moree PS lost by one try to Warialda PS
The open team had a steady start, drawing their first game against St Philomenas. The boys were quick to find their rhythm though, putting on wins in their next three matches. The final game was a gruelling effort in defence which saw the boys go down to Warialda.
