St Francis College claims Dave Sheldrick double in 2023

The College picked up both the Dave Sheldrick Shield in the rugby league component of the tri-series competition, as well as the cup in the league tag division.

St Francis defeated Yanco Agricultural High School in what was both team's second round of matches of the fixture.

St Francis had previously defeated Leeton High School in round two, while YAHS was coming off a loss to LHS.

First up on Wednesday night was the league tag match, with St Francis managing to keep their Yanco Ag opposition scoreless in the 20-0 victory.

The boys match was a hard-fought one, with boys sides keeping the crowd on the edge of their seats.
