To top off what had been a promising week for Keebra Park, after a hard fought win against local rivals PBC on Wednesday Evening, the annual Keebra Park - Wests Tigers Primary Schools sevens competition was held on Thursday and hailed as a great success by all those involved.

Teams came from all areas of the Gold Coast and Brisbane including Kruger SS from Ipswich and Springwood SS from South Brisbane.

On hand to chat with the primary school coaches was Injured Wests Tigers Lock, Liam Fulton who added a bit of celebrity and local media interest to the day. Liam said that it was great to be able to help put something back into school sport. "I played school football myself and i know how important these sort of events are to the kids" he said. ""Its been good to see the range of talent on show and I'm sure some of these blokes will go all the way" he added.

Eventual winners were Kruger SS from Ipswich who managed to keep up their high intensity through out the day and emerge victorious. Congratulations to all the teams though especially the semi finalists, Ashmore, Elanora and Springwood . A special mention to Labrador SS who drew with Kruger in their quarter final (that shows the closeness of the day)

It was a great day with Subway providing tasty lunches and the Gatorade showcase on site. Organiser Kurt Richards was happy with the day and once again predicted an even bigger event next year. "It was really good to get some of the Brisbane teams down this years and that shows that there is interest from all over the area. Next year we could be looking at an increase in team numbers as its getting that popular." he said.

Once again well done to all teams and hope to see you all next year.
