Keebra Park High’s league program has received a boost with the Wests Tigers extending their arrangement with the school.

Tigers recruitment manager Warren McDonnell said the successful relationship, that has produced NRL players like Benj Marshall and Rangi Chase, was now an open ended agreement.
“We are very happy with the relationship, they do an excellent job and it works well with us,’ said McDonnell.

“We have not only extended it, we have increased our assistance”.

“I can’t see an ending to it.”

Rather than give grants to the school, the Tigers scholarship players attend the establishment where they train under the guidance of head coach Greg Lenton.

The word from the Tigers is that former Keebra student Ben Te’o, who was the Arrive Alive player of the tournament last year, has overcome his troublesome osteo pubis complaint.
He had his first game back from an operation last week in Jersey Flegg and won the player’s player award.

Back at home and Keebra are getting ready for their match with fellow Coast school Palm beach-Currumbin High.

The teams will meet on Wednesday night at Pizzey Park in the Arrive Alive Cup South Queensland semi after winning their quarters this week.
Keebra beat Marsden 36-0 while PBC downed Redcliffe 32-0, with the winner of next week’s clash to play in the State final.
