College wins Country Cup
Brisbane Water Secondary College is the 2010 Country Cup State Champions after its under-13 team defeated Picton High in Dubbo last week in rugby league.
This is the first time the school has won this competition, and is also a first for the Central Coast region.
About 300 schools entered the competition this year, and the team enjoyed a magic run, defeating Wadalba, Erina, Terrigal, St Edwards, St Pauls, Tuggerah Lakes, St Josephs Lochinvar, All Saints Maitland, St Josephs Aberdeen, St Johns Lismore, Macksville, Farrer Agricultural High, and finally Picton High.
"This is a great group of boys who were motivated to do well, and played with discipline and skill," coach Mr. Patrick Crouch said.
"They played as a team and deserve the success they have had."
The schools under-14's have also had a good season, narrowly losing the state grand final of the All Schools Competition last week.
They are now into the final eight of the Buckley Shield.
