Finals Week 2 and Halligan 3-peat

The highlight of the season to date came around 7pm last Saturday night as our 6th grade side raised the Halligan Cup for the 3rd year in a row!

In damp and cold conditions, the lads weathered a first half storm from King’s Old Boys who went into the break 6-0 up after playing a physical brand of footy.

Colleagues’ task was made even tougher having received a yellow card in the first half and a red in the second, but the boys fought back strongly in front of a raucus Blue Giant support crew that had gathered at the end northern end of the ground.

After building plenty of pressure in the second half it was inevitable the KOBs defence would eventually break and halfback Pete Minucos managed to dive over for two matchwinning tries from close range to cap a great night under lights for Colleagues.

Earlier in the day, our Barbour Cup colts side continued their unbeaten season as they beat Mosman 33-19 on the way to the Grand Final where they will look to be the first premiership winning colts since the Jack Williams-led side of 2015.

Burke Cup produced the other highlight of the day as they put in their best performance of the year to beat Waverley 25-7 and progress to a preliminary final against Mosman this week. After a close loss to Mosman a month ago, Dingo and the boys will be out for revenge.

Judd Cup and Sutherland Cup suffered narrow losses but due to their strong performances all year they have been rewarded with another chance this weekend against Waverley.

All games will be played at David Phillips Field so get out and support the lads!
