Cricket

The First XI defeated TCC in the Rockhampton final of the state wide T20 competition. The team kept TCC to 80 runs and RGS achieved those runs in eight overs. Wickets were shared around and Matt Van Bael was 17 not out as the highest run scorer. Congratulations!

Rugby Union

RGS hosted the Rugby grand finals in late March.  The Open Girls defeated Emmaus and the First XV defeated St Brendan’s to record the School’s 14th consecutive First XV Trophy. The U15 Boys were defeated by a very good St Brendan’s side.
