Rugby Union Knockout- Chris Gangemi Cup

On Monday August 12 Nazareth sent the Senior Rugby Union team to the Chris Gangemi cup in Hunters Hill. We were fortunate enough to get a wild card entry into the event after our loss to Ss Peter & Paul in Kiama. There was a huge amount of talent at the knockout event with schools from across NSW taking part in the event. The team won 1 out of 4 games on the day, placing us 4th in our pool. Thank you to the team who attended the knockout, even though it was the pupil free day. A big thanks to the parents/carers for transporting the children to and from the event as it was an early start. Once again we thank Dean Wheeler & Geoff Hicks who have prepared and coached the team for these Rugby Union events.
