The touring School Sport Australia Under 15’s team have completed their tour of South Africa earlier this week by whitewashing the series against the South Africa Lions. But, although the results might suggest three wins, the margins of 30 points in Game 1, 70 points in Game 2 and a 59 point result in Game 3 suggest three solid wins, but no blowouts. The South African team remained committed to their goal of making life as tough as possible for the visitors, and succeeded.

As an interesting footnote of personal interest, from the perspective of a Cairns resident, young Jack Bowes managed a goal in this game. Jack, like most other boys on tour, has a big future ahead and might well be the next big thing to come out of Cairns.
