St Mary’s cruises to Shield semi-finals

RUGBY LEAGUE: St Mary’s College has progressed through to the final four of the Confraternity Shield after defeating Aquinas College 36-4 in Tuesday’s quarter final at Charters Towers.

St Mary’s was never headed en route to the comfortable victory, as they enjoyed a day off yesterday after playing in four games on the opening two days of the carnival.

It continues a dream run towards glory after sweeping through their pool matches without defeat.

They will now come up against Ignatius Park College after the Townsville school edged past Rockhampton Grammar 20-18.

Like St Mary’s, Ignatius Park is undefeated throughout their four games to date.

The semi final will be live streamed on the QISSRL Facebook page, and will start at 3pm with a spot in tomorrow’s final on the line.

NETBALL: St Ursula’s claimed bragging rights over Downlands on day three of the QISS netball tournament in Townsville to book their spot in the quarter finals.

Downlands needed a victory to claim top spot in Pool C, but were ultimately unable to get the job done, as St Ursula’s caused the 21-18 upset, snatching fourth place in the process.

Both teams will now battle it out today in the division three quarter finals as they aim to make the final.

St Joseph’s College also progressed through to the next stage after claiming fourth spot in Pool E, and will compete for division six honours.
