Farrer First XIII vs Matraville, Sydney University Shield

On the 9 May 2022, Farrer First XIII travelled to Sydney with Mr Gale, Mr Sherlock and Mr Stevens to play our first game in the University Shield competition at Pioneer Park.

We arrived at The King’s School Boathouse that night to enjoy a BBQ cooked by Mr Gale and presented Mr Stevens with a donut for his birthday.

We woke early the next morning ready for our game at Pioneer Park. With a strong start, Noah Hooley opened the scoring with a try on debut. From there, the scoreboard ticked over with 13 players getting a meat pie including doubles from Logan Spinks and Archie Wainwright. We walked away with a final score of 68-0 and there were smiles all around.

Congratulations to Oliie Sykes who was named best player on the day. Our next game is set in week 6 against Patrician Brothers in Fairfield.

Thanks to Mr Gale, Mr Sherlock and Mr Stevens and also not forgetting the FEC staff for the food ~ Will Woods Year 12
