The line-up, which was restricted to 16 players on both days due to injury, defeated both the Hunter Metro and Central Coast teams to secure a remarkable 4-0 record in the Youth Girls 15 competition.
“I could not be prouder of how the girls went given we had no bench on both days at Warners Bay and then at Lake Macquarie,” head coach Alex Tigani (Singleton Roosters) explained.
“Eleven members of the team were from Singleton including our co-captains Lilly-Jane Williams and Amalie Ford and recent NSW All Schools stars Alex Neyland and Molly Thomas.
“I want to thank my team manager Sarah Williams and team runner Daltyn McCartney for their efforts as well.”
Fellow Singleton Roosters coach Ashley Borg also celebrated a narrow one-point win over Hunter Metro in Youth Girls 13 competition to finish with a 1-1-2 record.
