Jim Stevens Cup and Steph Hancock Cup

On Monday 11 March, 2024, Assumption College students attended the annual Jim Stevens Cup and Steph Hancock Cup which is a Rugby League Gala day for boys and girls in our region. This year, ACW had over 100 students attend which is a record number for us. We fielded four boys' teams, which included two Junior u13 teams, one u15 team and an Open team. We also fielded two girls' teams, which consisted of Years 8-10, as well as a Year 11 and Year 12 team. The girls played in a fixtures format with no final series. Our girls all did extremely well and were able to demonstrate the development of Girls' Rugby League within our region. All of our Boys' teams featured in the Grand Final for their age groups. Our two u13 teams played off against each other in the Grand Final, which was an amazing achievement. Our u15 boys' team narrowly lost in their Grand Final. Lastly, our Open Boys' team had a win in their Grand Final. Overall, this was yet another great day for Sport at our College.
