BROTHER
SECURE NEW FIRST GRADE COACH
Wagga
Brothers Rugby League Football Club is pleased to announce the appointment
of Blake Dunn as Captain Coach for the 2010 season.
Blake is a highly decorated representative player with an excellent
record in all his Rugby League endeavours. He was highly recommended
to us by a network of knowledgeable rugby league identities.
He will bring a wealth of knowledge from highly credentialed coaches
he has played under from Group 11, to the Canterbury Bulldogs and
the past three seasons with Thirroul in the strong Illawarra competition.
For the past two seasons he has represented Illawarra Division and
Country Firsts.
Growing up in Dubbo, Blake is very much a country boy at heart,
so coaching and playing in Wagga and Group 9 is a move he is very
much looking forward to.
After 5 years under Craig Field’s direction the Brothers
have matured as club, from under 6’s right through to first
grade. Blake’s appointment and his knowledge and passion will
ensure the club builds on that foundation and continue to be a benchmark
for other clubs on and off the field.
The club’s senior grades are now predominantly club juniors
who have progressed through the grades. The fact that this is a
key ingredient for success, both presently and into the future,
is not lost on the club. Blake will look to build on the foundations
that Craig has built and ensure that there is a steady stream of
Brother juniors progressing through the grades.
Blake is hoping to be in Wagga next week when it is planned we
will have a meet and greet to formally introduce him to the club
members and the local media.

It has been a long time since the club has enjoyed such success
and comes of the back of some great work by all our players, coaches
and support staff. The grand final victories come on the back of
our club taking out a record 5th successive Club Championship.

Rick Keast Medal (Man of the Match): Nicholas
Hay (Brothers)
The
under 11 grand final was possible the match of the day with 10 minutes
of extra time required to decide a winner after the full time siren
saw the teams locked together at 6 all.
Very little separated the two sides and the game as an intense
battle from the opening whistle. Roos gained an early lead mid way
through the first half with Riley Begg making a strong run before
spinning out of a tackle to score. Brothers evened the score shortly
before half time after some good lead up work by the forwards with
scheming half Harry Hicks scoring a well earned try.
The second half was action packed with the play moving from one
end of the field to the other. Despite the great ball movement and
determined running both teams defended exceptional well and the
game was forced into extra time. In extra time Brothers had first
use of the ball and gained some field ascendancy.
Nick Hay broke the deadlock with a barnstorming run from around
20 meters out to put Brothers in front. Roos spent much of the remaining
5 minutes camped in Brothers half however Brothers refused to surrender
the lead and rallied with an unbelievable show of defence.
Under 12
BROTHERS 24 (J. Last, D. McLachlan, S. Humphries, P. Griffin
tries B. Ambler, L. Carey, D. McLachlan goals) defeated
KANGAROOS 0
Rick Keast Medal (Man of the Match): Dylan
McLachlan (Brothers)
Brothers
made it three straight premierships with a convincing win over Kangaroos.
The game started at a frantic pace with some big clashes in the
forwards and good ball movement with both sides looking to gain
an early advantage.
Tenacious Brothers lock Paddy Griffin scored the first points using
his speed and good judgement to skirt a couple of slower defenders,
stand up the Roos fullback and score under the posts. Once the first
points were scored Brothers confidence grew as the continued to
pile on unanswered points.
The
Roos boys never yielded at any stage despite the score with Hayden
Ashcroft, Ben Boi Uk and Connor McCauley leading the charge. Brothers
had plenty of quality players in a good team effort. Paddy Griffin,
Tom Menzies, Nick Orr and Josh Egan all had great games and the
highly talented Dylan McLachlan was judged best on ground with a
slashing display.
Under 13
BROTHERS RED 14 (S. Robinson 3 tries M. Mattingly goal)
defeated KANGAROOS 8 (J. Uhr, S. Keast tries)
Rick Keast Medal (Man of the Match): Sharne
Robinson (Brothers)
This game was always going to be a close encounter and the big
crowd in attendance was treated to some entertaining rugby league.
Brothers were first to score courtesy of a bustling run from around
20 meters out by centre Sharne Robinson. The try went unconverted
and despite some great attacking raids by both teams the score remained
at 4 to nil up until half time. After the break Brothers lifted
the tempo against the bigger Roos side and Mick Mattingly made a
break using some great footwork before dishing the ball off to Sharne
Robinson who ran 60 meters to score his second try. Shortly after
fullback Edward Ansell cracked the Roos defence before drawing the
fullback and passing to the ever present Robinson who was in for
his third try taking Brothers to a 14 point lead. Kangaroos never
say die attitude allowed them to score two late tries to Jesse Uhr
and Sam Keast however they left there run too late with Brothers
holding out for a well constructed victory.
Under 14
BROTHERS 28 (L. Gladman 2, J. Stiener, L. McInerney, S.
Tracey tries L. Gladman, L. McInerney, S. Tracey, J. Betts goals)
defeated ALBURY 18 (L. Hampton 2, J. France, H.
Molkentin tries J. Green goal)
Rick Keast Medal (Man of the Match): Hayden
Stirling (Brothers)
Brothers made it a great day for the entire club, securing its
first grand final win, giving the Club 4 titles overall for the
day. The Brothers team reaped the rewards for their long term commitment
to training and playing from the pre season onwards. Albury proved
worthy opponents and while Brothers were always in front on the
scoreboard the Albury boys were never far behind and with the crafty
Curtly Jenkinson, talented Jorden Green and Lachlan Hampton working
well to keep Albury in contention with some well constructed tries
and flashes of individual brilliance. Brothers had plenty of good
players in a great team effort but none were better than Hayden
Stirling who really took up the challenge in the early stages of
the game with some barnstorming runs. Luke Gladman at fullback never
plays a bad game and his defence in the last line and timely injections
into the attack gave Brothers a real boost at important times during
the match. Diminutive halfback Steven Tracey and 5/8 Trae O’Neill
controlled the game in the halves and gave great service to their
outside backs.
Under 15
TURVEY PARK 34 (B. Rigg 3, S. Charles 2, N. Rose tries
N. Rose 4 goals) defeated ALBURY 22 (D. Quayle 2, C. Heald, C. Richards
