Scone’s Jack Teague, Jack Faulkner, Jack Grimes and Nick Adkins gained selection in the Central North under-13 representative side – and did the Brumbies proud.
The weather thankfully held out with two days of sunshine.
And, the Scone quartet was strong in play with Teague and Adkins in the second row, and Grimes and Faulkner in the centres.
Grimes demonstrated great leadership skills in the halfback and centre roles, putting the forwards into great positions.
Faulkner was a real worker making some cracking tackles and several excellent runs.
Teague had a fantastic two days with some incredible tackling, speedy running and terrific charge-downs from the kick-off.
Adkins came into his own, too.
He displayed great skill in the ruck with some top class clean outs and ball stealing.
At the end of the carnival, the presentation saw the most improved player award given to Faulkner, who certainly impressed the coaches with his consistent approach to all games and for his solid work all weekend.
Teague was named the most consistent player of the carnival for the Central North 13s.
His mentors praised him for some brilliant runs, tryscoring at the trails and impressive charge-downs, labelling him the side’s “tackling machine”.
