Not the year Marist wanted in the firsts, beaten by 2 and 3 points respectively. Congratulations to Padua on back to back wins, wonderful achievement for their boys and coaches. I don't think there would be too much stress about the future at Marist. With wins in the 16A, 16 B, 15B, 9A, 9B and with seconds in the 15A and 8A things aren't so bad. With Dave Miles rumoured to take over the firsts next year, some strong years to come. After watching the 16A 'final' between Marist and Laurie's, these two sides are going to have a ding dong battle next year. Both sides have 4 or 5 kids backing up from the firsts, should be two of the front runners. The 16A game was an excellent game, quite brutal actually.
