St Thomas’ dream run puts<br />
them in the big league<br />
• By Jaime Cunningham<br />
ST THOMAS of Canterbury<br />
College completed a dream<br />
New Zealand secondary schools<br />
rugby league campaign by<br />
claiming the national title in<br />
their first-ever finals appearance<br />
on Saturday.<br />
They beat St Paul’s College<br />
(Auckland) 12-6 in a thrilling final<br />
to go through the three-day<br />
tournament unbeaten.<br />
It was also the first time a<br />
school outside of Auckland had<br />
lifted the trophy since 2000.<br />
A large number of St Thomas’<br />
supporters were on the sidelines<br />
for their second clash against<br />
St Paul’s of the tournament at<br />
Bruce Pulman Park, Auckland.<br />
St Thomas’ were first to score<br />
in the final, and followed it up<br />
with another try shortly after.<br />
Despite trailing early, St Paul’s<br />
managed to dot down for one<br />
of their own before the halftime<br />
break to close the gap to 10-6.<br />
A hard-fought battle followed<br />
in the second half, with both<br />
sides unable to score due to<br />
some impressive defence.<br />
However, St Thomas’ extended<br />
their lead with a penalty kick<br />
after a high tackle by St Paul’s.<br />
The two points would go on to<br />
be the only points added to the<br />
halftime score, and enough for<br />
St Thomas’ to claim the national<br />
title for the first time.<br />
St Thomas’ had only managed<br />
to make the semi-finals twice<br />
before this year, but never the<br />
final.<br />
TOUGH: St<br />
Thomas’ beat St<br />
Paul’s College<br />
(Auckland) 12-6<br />
in a thrilling<br />
final at Bruce<br />
Pulman Park<br />
in Auckland on<br />
Saturday.<br />

But in <strong>2023</strong>, St Thomas’ form<br />
was evident not only in their<br />
results but also their dominance<br />
in the national secondary<br />
schools squad selected following<br />
the tournament.<br />
The school boasts nine players<br />
in the 19-strong squad set to<br />
play in a fixture against the<br />
NZ Clubs squad on Labour<br />
weekend next month. Haeata<br />
Community Campus was the<br />
only other Christchurch school<br />
in any of the four tournaments<br />
last week. They finished 11th in<br />
the boys’ championship grade.<br />
