GREGS BREAK DROUGHT!
After being written off by the media last year as a dying rugby league nursery, St Gregory’s College Campbell-town have stormed to their 14th MCS title after defeating pre match favourites Pa-trician Brothers Blacktown 22 – 10 last night.
In front of an estimated 200 of their students who filled the grandstand at St Marys’ Western Weekender stadium with noise in support of their team, St Gregs successfully negotiated the last dance of what has been an undefeated MCS season for them in 2010.
The win crowns what has been an excellent turnaround in fortunes for the College league team, who had not won the MCS competition they used to dominate since 2005. The 2005 team included the likes of current NRL star Chris Lawrence. Despite predictions of a rebuilding year for St Gregs, they have beaten all expectations in winning this competition.
Lee Addison, Head Coach of St Gregory’s Rugby League said “The boys have worked so, so hard it’s untrue. I have never worked with a more dedicated, passionate and honest group of blokes. They deserve every accolade. It’s their title.
“The MCS title is a great reward for their efforts. It also has to be said that Blacktown are a fantastic side, we could never relax. They are a very dangerous team when they are behind and, we were very nervous in the 2nd half, but we held on just about!
“Rugby League is woven into the fabric at St Gregs and it will take more than a few negative rumours to knock it down. All it’s students really buy into it and would do anything for the college crest. All sports work to-gether at this place, all the students work together at this place and the result was there to see tonight. 17 blokes on the field giving their all, and about 200 giving their all in the stand. It really was special.”
