The connection between Patrician Brothers College five-eighth Cameron Bamblett and fullback Riley Davis will strike fear into schoolboys teams across the country.
The pair were at their best in a faultless first half performance as the Blacktown nursery flexed its muscle in the final game of the Peter Mulholland Cup pool stage.
The reigning champions completed the clean sweep of Pool A with a dominant 48-6 win over the previously undefeated All Saints Maitland.

While All Saints are still guaranteed a spot in the finals due to their earlier exploits, the tough loss will leave a clear dent in their confidence moving forward.
It was a day that belonged to Davis, with the Parramatta Harold Matts fullback showing his class to score three tries and set-up another three.
The fullback is the complete package for Patrician Brothers College, with his sharp footwork and speed off the mark causing havoc for opposition defenders, while his support play is second to none in the Peter Mulholland Cup.
The Eels-contracted Bamblett had a large hand in two of Davis’ tries while scoring one of his own in the comprehensive performance.
Patrician Brothers were keeping pace with the clock in the early stages, going ahead 24-0 inside the opening 20 minutes, before All Saints five-eighth Cody Field gave his side a slice of hope.
The Knights junior cut back off his right foot to beat the defence before turning on the afterburners to screech past a helpless Davis at the back.
But a knock-on two sets later coming out of their own end spelled disaster for the Maitland school.
Patrician Brothers made the most of the opportunity with Davis sending flying winger Tyler Peken over for the first of two tries to set up a 28-6 lead at the main break.
PREVIEW
He has been the firecracker off the bench who has been a key part of Patrician Brothers College’s unbeaten start to the Peter Mulholland Cup.
But there are a lot more strings to the bulldozing bow of Charlie Xuereb.
The middle forward will again prove crucial as the reigning champions aim to sweep Pool A in a cracking showdown against All Saints College, Maitland on Tuesday.
The game will decide who finishes atop the pool with both schools already guaranteed of their spots in the Peter Mulholland Cup finals.
Such is the size and power of the Patties forward pack, led by Wests Tigers recruit Christian Tapau-Moors and Panthers young gun Steven Whalan, the bottom-age Xuereb hasn’t been able to crack a starting jersey.
But it hasn’t dented the impact he has had on the competition this season.
Xuereb was one of Patrician Brothers’ best in their opening round win over Matraville and backed it up against Holy Cross, helping set up the match-sealing try for Cameron Bamblett.
They are performances that come as little surprise to coach Noah Meares, who said the Panthers’ Harold Matts forward rivals some of the school’s top alumni.
“It is good to see him being as dominant as he was,” Meares said.
“I don’t think I have seen a kid as hardworking as him when it comes to preparation and training. He does all of those little extras.
“He is right up there among the best workers I have coached and might even one up Jacob Halangahu.
“He has a big future ahead of him.”
The Patrician Brothers forward pack will be one of their key strengths against an All Saints side which is full of belief in 2025.
The Maitland boys have not missed a step over the opening two rounds and are averaging 40 points per game.
Talented halves duo Chase Butler and Cody Field have the raw talent to beat any opposition, while their outside men have shown an ability to finish from anywhere.
If there was a team that wouldn’t show fear against the highly-fancied Patrician Brothers, this All Saints side is it.
“We know what they are like but we see it as a challenge,” All Saints coach Elliott Plank said.
“We played them last year and got beaten pretty comfortably, but that was a young side we had then. A lot of that team are now in Year 11 and have built confidence from those opportunities.
“We are a confident side, we have played really well this season. We know there are parts of our game we need to fix, especially against a side like Patrician Brothers, but we are just excited to challenge ourselves and prove we belong with the big schools.”
