U14'S BOYS RUGBY LEAGUE - STEELERS SHIELD KNOCKOUT
SJE U14 Boys Rugby League side started their school boy trophy campaign with the Shoalhaven round of the Steelers Shield knockout competition on Thursday 16th May at Ulladulla Sporting complex. The 2023 Shaun Timmins Shield and Country Cup winners come out the the blocks firing with a dominant display over Ulladulla High School winning 46-0.
Try Scorers: Nate Shalala, Logan Juric, Kai Ried, Luke Keating (2) Caiden Green, Cooper Green (2)
Goals: Logan Juric 6/6, Cody Walker 1/1, Luke Keating 0/1
The boys continued their strong start with a semi final win over Bomaderry High 38-0. SJE outmuscled Bomaderry High in a physical start to the game and soon after posted first points courtesy of Matthew Reid who finished off a brilliant team try made possible through a rehearsed backline movement. Crafty Halfback Noah Jamieson stepped his way to the line, beating four defenders with brilliant footwork to secure SJE’s next try. The points began to pile on after this, with Logan Juric playing short off Noah Jamieson to stroll over, Logan Dibben showing great strength and speed in the clear when getting out of our own end, Hudson Avery linked up instinctively with Fullback Torr Morley utilising an offload which saw Torr get into the back field to score another.
Try Scorers: Matthew Reid, Noah Jamieson, Logan Juric (2), Logan Dibben, Torr Morley, Lincoln Taylor
Goals: Logan Juric 5/7
The knockout process saw SJE take on Kiama High in the final. SJE could not have started the game any better with three consecutive tries including a full field try by Luke Keating from the initial kick off of the game. This effort was backed by a play two carry from Logan Juric which led to an 80m try scoring effort in the sequential set. A flurry of good ball culminated in Torr Morley finishing a strong attacking shape scoring in the corner. Torr extended the lead to 16-0 by executing the goal kick from the sideline. The momentum started to shift in favour of Kiama High as SJE took their general play away from the script, providing their opposition with an increased amount of possession. This ill discipline and some of the SJE boys coming off with cramps the score turned to 16-10. Kiama High’s comeback was interrupted by ‘some heads up footy’ when Noah Jamieson and Fergus Coughlan played quick hands to young gun Cooper Green who provided SJE with a much needed linebreak. Cooper beat the fullback with an allusive inside step but a cover tackle stopped Cooper short of the line. With field territory now in our favour the intuition of Noah saw reload to the blind side back into the hands of Cooper to find the corner sealing the victory for St John’s with a final score of 20-10.
Try Scorers: Luke Keating, Logan Juric, Torr Morley, Cooper Green
Goals: Logan Juric 1/1, Dean Austin 0/1, Torr Morley 1/1, Cody Walker 0/1
Congratulations to the boys who played outstanding Rugby League on the day and played brilliantly as a team. The boys move onto the Steelers shield final on Wednesday 5th June at Ulladulla Sporting Complex.

YEAR 7/8 GIRLS TEAM
The 7/8 Girls Netball side had a very successful day. The girls went through the day undefeated, finishing 1st place overall and progressing to regionals. Our first game against NAC was our closest with SJE winning 20-10. The following games we played were convincing wins against Shoalhaven, Nowra and Bomaderry High Schools. Strong performances were had by all of the girls throughout the day and the team progressively improved in our passing, movement and cohesion as the day went on. Notable mention to Georgia Mouawad who dominated in the centre and Brooklyn Horwood who had an excellent day in her shooting and in attack. A big thank you to our coach on the day, Year 11 student Sam McLaughlin who was a massive help and inspiration for the team. Thank you also to Ms Mouawad and Jasmine Edwards for umpiring us on the day.
