Pres see off rivals Christians to retain McCarthy Cup

This was a great game of rugby and both sides must be credited with the effort put in. The game ended in drama with Christians pounding the Pres line for a try but when the ball was knocked on, referee Bobby Anglim blew the final whistle, even though the touch judge had his flag out for foul play.

Either way, an equalising score for the Sydney Hill College would not have mattered, as no extra time was to be played and Pres would have won it on the first try rule.
