RNC entered two strong sides into the competition, with RNC Academy competing in Pool A and RNC Hereford in Pool B. Both teams delivered impressive performances throughout the group stages.

RNC Academy secured two wins and a draw in Pool A, while RNC Hereford claimed two victories and one loss in Pool B. These results meant an all‑RNC final, showcasing the depth of talent within the College.

The final was fiercely contested, but RNC Academy ultimately came out on top with a 9–4 win over RNC Hereford.

Congratulations go to both teams for bringing home the silverware, and a special mention to RNC Academy’s Tegan Booth, who was deservedly named Player of the Day.
