Greater Southern Red Backs Under 18’s Knocked Out of Country Championship         22-4-08

Picton Magpies Under 18 A’s players Tom Stockwell, Alex Peters and Bryce Hoskins were part of the Greater Southern Red Backs side that was knocked out of the Country Championship over the weekend at Newcastle.

Vice captain of the Greater Southern Red Backs team was Alex Peters but due to injury to the captain he was promoted to the captaincy, meanwhile fellow Magpie Tom Stockwell was forced to switch from his usual position of hooker to the front row during the match and managed to play strongly in an unfamiliar position.

The assistant coach / manager of the Greater Southern Red Backs was another Magpie in club president Dennis Zammit, so there was certainly plenty of Magpie flavour amongst this year’s side that’s for sure.
