I remember the first time I played on Old Boys at TGS, it was in the 14As. I was new to the school in grade 8, after moving from Inverell State High, a term in I was placed in the TGS boarding house. I was selected at fullback, much to the boy who had been at the school years before me disappointment… Sorry mate. Anyways, it was a trial match pretty sure it was against the old foe Gregory Terrace. Fast forward to the second half, the ball was kicked to me off the drop punt. I caught it, opted against the kick return because of my fast feet (Atleast I thought). I run up, and was absolutely decked in the tackle by about 4 boys. Knocking me out instantly. I got up after 30 seconds and continued To play. My old man would always tell me if you are on that footy field you walk off that footy field, if you can’t walk you’re crawling, you are not getting carried off. I believe we drew that game. Good memories…
