Well what a week its been at Keebra!!!!
First we had a victory in the Titans Cup with our Under 16 side beating PBC 20-14. This was a first for the Titans Cup boys so well done Mr Woolf.
They were to quick in the opening encounters and built a 16-0 half time score that PBC never really managed to reel in. Special mention to Andrew Vella, Johnny Pati and Nofoa Leapi for outstanding seasons. Here's looking to next year and more success.

Then our 13 Premiers demolished St Mary's Toowoomba 72-0 with some great strong running and patient, structured play. George Fai and Sigalu set a strong platform which was ably exploited by the speedy backs. Jayden Heu played a blinder on the wing and looks to have cemented a spot out wide.

The 14's progressed with a scrappy win over Kawana Waters from the Sunshine Coast.

The 15's came up against Ipswich Grammar and put on an awesome display of structured football. Halves, Zac Walsh and Dallas Wells showed some maturity in their ball playing that put player after player away into holes that saw the score exceed 50.
They are really coming together as a unit and have some exceptional talent. Well Done Quaid for making the Australian merit side and to Costner, Filo, Zac, Dallas and Tuila who all made various Qld rep sides.


The Opens came up against a talent stacked PBC at Pizzey Park this Wednesday and while many thought that they were just there to make up the numbers, the boys themselves had been quietly confident all week that they had the goods to come away with a win.
Boasting Jordan Rankin;s NRL experience and with 7 Titans Toyota Cup Players, 2 Australian Reps and 5 Qld players they were on paper an daunting proposition.
The boys knew they would have to be smart and play to their strengths and negate PBC'S strengths and in the end it was this battle that decided the game.
Our strengths were our go forward and their perceived strengths were the edges and the bomb.
Rankin put up spiraling torpedoes that came down with snow on, only to have Keebra fullback Jordan Kahu, leap above the opposition, wipe the snow laden pill clean with one hand while fending with the other and then make twenty metres through traffic, find body position, get a quick play the ball and put PBC on the backfoot with snow on their noses.

Our go forward was constant and almost like watching a piston engine punching rhythmically through the opposition. Ignatius, Mosese, Ice, Ignatius, Mosese, Ice,Ignatius, Mosese, Ice,
Ignatius, Mosese, Ice,Ignatius, Mosese, Ice,Ignatius, Mosese, Ice,.......you get the picture.
This disciplined commitment dragged the PBC edges into the fray and Keebra exploited the gaps.

KEEBRA TSUNAMI!

At half time the score was 6-0 and while it wasn't the start Keebra had hoped for it seemed to take more out of the PBC boys than it did Keebra and this was evident with the boys being able to put on two tries. One to Mosese and another to bustling Ben Murdoch. Kahu then kicked a smart, demoralising field goal and it left too little time and too much to do for PBC.
It is always a shame that someone has to bow out with both these schools being worthy South Qld representatives but having been on the losing end of two close games in the past two years it was great to get back on the winners dias and to show that we are a school that has a long, proud tradition of rugby league and are as competitive as we have ever been.
With the juniors going so well it has been a great week of reassurance for all on staff at Keebra that what we are doing is working and that we are still innovating and at the cutting edge.
Well done boys and good luck as you move onto the next stages of the various competitions.
