IT might have been the biggest regatta held in Australia since the 2000 Sydney Olympic<br />
Games, but the grand rowing stage did not faze <strong>Cranbrook</strong> scullers Connor O'Carrigan<br />
and Declan Quin.<br />
Connor and Declan, both 14, made the national A final of the under-17 double scull event at<br />
the Sydney International Rowing Regatta last month.<br />
Both athletes have been nominated for the Wentworth Courier Junior Sports Star award,<br />
sponsored by Rebel.<br />
Despite having trained together in the double scull for just one season and taking on<br />
competitors nearly three years older than them, the pair won their heat, finished second in<br />
their semi-final and finished sixth in the A final from a field of 26 boats.<br />
"Of all the boats, I love the double but I enjoy getting in the eight as well," Declan said.<br />
"It was challenging to go against older and bigger crews but it was a good experience.<br />
"I would like to row at university eventually, but looking further than that it would be great to<br />
take it to an Olympic level."

Inverell juniors excel at carnival<br />
THE junior Inverell Highlanders played five outstanding games of rugby union at the<br />
weekend to come away division runners up at The Armidale <strong>School</strong> Rugby Carnival,<br />
believed to be the largest primary-aged rugby carnival in Australia.<br />
About a thousand young players from 48 school and club teams from Sydney to the Sunshine<br />
Coast honed their skills in friendly competition.<br />
The young Highlanders played some outstanding rugby to defeat St Joseph’s College Nudgee<br />
52-0, Lismore JRC 50-0, Bishop Druitt College Coffs Harbour 44-0 and in the semi, St<br />
Iganitus College Riverview 36-5 before being defeated in Sunday’s final 7-14 by Sydney<br />
school <strong>Cranbrook</strong>, who scored and converted right on the whistle.<br />
“The first few games were reasonably easy but for the final <strong>Cranbrook</strong> did their homework<br />
and were very well drilled, shutting down our two try scoring machines, Angus Bell and<br />
Brady Mather, who just didn’t get the chances they did in the earlier games,” Highlanders<br />
coach Scott Bremner said.<br />
“All the boys should be well pleased with how well they played.”<br />
The youngest member of the team, Hamish Fraser, was awarded the presentation jumper for<br />
his enthusiasm and commitment, and Wally Bremner won the match ball.<br />
“It’s magnificently organised carnival, well-seeded, and a real ‘horizon-opener’ for a lot of<br />
boys in later primary and early secondary school who otherwise wouldn’t experience this<br />
level of competition,” Bremner said.<br />
“The boys love the experience of staying in a boarding house – and the parents get to have a<br />
pretty good time also.”<br />
Apart from the rugby itself, other attractions included the chance to meet Tamworth-born<br />
Wallabies prop Paddy Ryan, and the Tom Richards Cup, to be fought over by the Wallabies<br />
and British and Irish Lions later this year.<br />
Ryan said the carnival was a “fantastic” display of all that is good about schoolboy rugby.<br />
“The spirit in which the games were played and refereed by the junior refs, has been<br />
absolutely fantastic, it’s an absolute pleasure to watch,” he said.<br />
In the grand final of the top division, Brisbane Church of England Grammar <strong>School</strong> defeated<br />
Sydney’s Northern Suburbs JRC 10-0, while the red division grand final was a 14-14 draw<br />
between Sydney schools The Scot’s College and St Augustine’s College.<br />
The prestigious KooGa Team of the Carnival Award was made to Matthew Flinders Anglican<br />
College from the Sunshine Coast, recognising their performance and sportsmanship both on<br />
and off the field.”
