1st XV Jersey Sponsorship Presentation

On Saturday 24 May we hosted the 1st XV Jersey Sponsorship Presentation, where players received their jerseys from Old Boys, friends, and supporters of the College. A huge thank you to those who sponsored a jersey and stayed to cheer the boys on—it meant a lot to the team. With pride in their hearts and the backing of the St Paul’s community, the 1st XV went on to secure their first win of the season in a hard-fought match against De La Salle.

1st XV Edges Out De La Salle in Gripping Match

In a thrilling contest, the 1st XV secured their first win of the season with a nail-biting 8–5 victory over the Old Catholic brothers, De La Salle College.

Played with intensity from the opening whistle, both sides brought physicality and passion to the field, showing just how much this fixture meant this year. The 1st XV struck first with a well-worked try taking a 5–0 lead. De La Salle responded with a try of their own, but a missed conversion left the scores tied deep into the second half.

With time running out and bodies tiring, it came down to discipline, composure and desperate defence. The breakthrough came when De La Salle gave away a penalty just 8m away from the halfway line. Up stepped Sebastian Smith, who showed nerves of steel to slot the three points and edge his side ahead ending the game on a win.
