WATCH THE REPLAYS: Palm Beach Currumbin v St Mary’s in the Langer Cup and Walters Cup

Defending champions Palm Beach Currumbin were too good for St Mary’s College in their Langer Cup clash at Pizzey Park this afternoon. WATCH THE REPLAYS OF THE LANGER CUP AND WALTERS CUP CLASHES.

High-flying PBC winger Troy Duckett inspired his school to the second win of their Allan Langer Cup campaign with two spectacular aerial efforts to decide the match in the second half.

Duckett’s try and try assist for centre partner Reef Sommerville proved the difference in a 16-6 victory over St Mary’s College, Toowoomba.

Titans-contracted halfback Tom Weaver’s pinpoint kicking game brought out the best in Duckett’s aerial abilities to create points when nothing else went right.

Five-eighth Ryan Rivett opened the scoring in the 8th minute to lead 6-0 and St Mary’s could only muster a late try in consolation to fullback Keanu Wright-Dunrobin.

PBC head coach Brad Davis said although he was pleased with his side’s performance the Reds were still lacking cohesion ahead of next week’s grudge match with Keebra Park.

“Obviously we dominated possession but I think at times we left a few points out there,” Davis said.

“We had areas where we had St Mary’s on the back foot but we needed to be a bit more ruthless.

“We’re just searching for a bit more cohesion because things aren’t totally flowing for us at the moment.

“Tommy (Weaver) made some really good decisions and executed really well, as well as with Troy Duckett, who had a couple of really great leaps to get us some points.

“In tight games those moments and the players who can produce under that pressure are what the better players can do.”

The quick-thinking winger tossed a blind offload to centre Reef Sommerville, who powered through the remaining tacklers to hit 16-0 in the 40th minute.

St Mary’s battled back into the game and a piece of brilliance from five-eighth Blake Moore engineered the final try of the match.
