The club would also like to hear from former players, parents, officials and supporters who have items of interest for a memorabilia exhibition on the night as well. Anyone with photo’s, pennants, articles or clothing is welcome to contribute by contacting Darren Ward on 0419 235 423. Tickets go on sale next week at Club Singleton and we hope your presence can make it a night to remember and pay tribute to the select 30th anniversary team as well as take in a bit of history of junior league in Singleton.

Finally, the Redbank Power Singleton Junior Rugby League extends its best wishes to our senior counterparts in all three grades this Sunday at Resco Park, in the Group 21 Grand final. It will be massive!

Westrac Under 16(2) - played their much anticipated grand final against Beresfield / Thornton at Cook Park a fortnight ago. Despite being quiet in the shed before the game the team were fired up for a big one. They came into the game undefeated and were determined to remain that way. Again the visitors started the game strongly, using their size to break through Singleton’s line on a number of occasions. Singleton took a while to get into their style of playing but once they did there was no looking back.

Kerrod Holland again sent great balls to players on the burst, allowing them to break Bero’s line again and again. This started wearing their big forwards out. Singleton re-gathered after half time, determined not to let the opposition back into the game. Each Singleton player was determined to come away with the premiership and this showed in every tackle and every attacking raid on the opposition’s line. Mat Law put the game out of Thornton Beresfield’s reach with the last of his four (4) tries.

When the hooter sounded it was all a bit surreal, the boys had achieved something they had worked hard for over many years. It was a well deserved win as the team has been undefeated all year.

The final score was 38 - 16 with tries to Mat Law (4), Scott Griffiths, Dale Watson and Pierce Murray. Scott Griffiths kicked five goals. Player of the Grand Final was awarded to Mat Law. Super effort guys! Thank you to all the parents who, for the three years that I have had the boys, have been so supportive. Thanks also to Wade and Albert, who have worked so tirelessly this year to prepare the team and to Rod, Dave and Paul for your assistance with first aid and doing the book for us each week. It certainly has been a team effort! (Sue Delforce – Coach)

Pirtek Under 14(2) - showed determination and character to win a close Grand Final against the previously undefeated Scone side. Singleton scored first through Jordan Brown after having the best of the field possession to lead 6 – 0.

Scone then gained some momentum and scored three tries in succession and took the lead by eight points. Scone were then attacking the Singleton line just before half time when a charge down by Jack Willis was regathered and a run away try to Singleton by Lain Franks put the half time score at 10 – 14. Singleton started the second half in the same way they finished the first with some excellent defence especially from our second rowers Sam Smith and Ryan Fletcher. The next points came from a well weighted kick from Jordan Watson that was pounced upon by Lain Franks who scored his second for the day. Not long after this Nathan Brock split the defence in half and scored the fourth try for Singleton. Scone didn’t give up and scored a retaliation try to have the scores at 20 – 18. The next five minutes were very tense and worthy of a Grand Final with Scone attacking Singleton’s line. The brilliant defence from Singleton was able to hold Scone out. When the final siren sounded Singleton were the winners 20 points to 18. Jack Willis kicked 2 from 4 in windy conditions which proved to be the difference in game where four tries were scored by both teams. Congratulations must go to the boys for a very gutsy effort and they deserve every bit of it for the hard work they put in during the year. Well done!

Singleton RSC Under 15(5) – were narrowly beaten by Nelson Bay 24 – 12 in their Grand-Final. All the players can be very proud of their efforts.

Pirtek Under 12(3) – were no match for a pumped up Dungog. Injuries to key players didn’t help Singleton’s cause but again they can be proud of a great season nonetheless. Final score was 34 – 0.

Don’t forget Presentation day is on Sunday October 19 at the Singleton Public School Auditorium. Every player receives a trophy or reward and we look forward to seeing you there, starts at 10.00am for Under 6 to Under 11, 11.30am for Under 12 to Under 16.
