Sports Wrap Up – Round 5
Last weekend, Lauries faced St Edmund’s College in Round 5 of the AIC Competition. The round had a different schedule, with the First XV playing their game earlier in the week to accommodate the Qld Schoolboys Rugby Tournament. The team once again played very well, securing a win and maintaining their undefeated season. The other Rugby results were impressive, with several teams still in contention for premierships. In Chess on Friday night, the teams had another successful outing, with all teams achieving wins.
In Football, it was another great day, with the College going undefeated throughout the day. A special mention goes to the First XI, who played exceptionally well, beating the undefeated Eddies team, securing their first win for the season.
