Last Sunday Downs Rugby hosted the teenage grand finals at the Toowoomba Sports Ground which was historic given that the youth girls 7’s for U13, U15 and U17’s was incorporated with the teenage boys’ grand finals for the first ever time. This day was enjoyed by participants, their families and we’ve received overwhelming positive feedback. Youth girls 7’s U13’s social match USQ and Scots PGC Warwick, U15’S youth girls premiers Toowoomba Bears. U17’S youth girls 7’s final was a memorable clash between the Toowoomba Bears and the Condamine Codettes, with the Bears claiming the premiership. U13’S teenage boys premiers for 2019 is the Toowoomba Bears, claiming the Greg Holmes Shield. The Dalby Wheatman had a convincing 52-10 victory to claim the 2019 Berrick Barnes shield. The USQ Saints claimed the U15’S Tim Horan Shield, whilst South Kookaburras played in an epic battle with the Toowoomba Bears to win by only a converted try to claim the Hugh McMenimen Shield. All the spoils for the day were shared between the different clubs, which is encouraging to see for the competitions.
