Campion College had an early battle on their hands but overcame St Catherine High 38-20. Josiah Bennett led Campion with an impressive 24-point haul.
Meanwhile, newcomers Jose Marti loom as the competition dark horse with a workmanlike 24-2 win over Kingston High. Jayden Daley led the winners with 8 points.
Director of Rugby Romeo Monteith was thrilled with the way the season has gone.
“We are pleased with the talent on display in the U-16 competition. Many of these boys have only been playing rugby league in the past one to three years and we see they are adapting well to the rules and nature of the game,” he said.
“We have four evenly matched teams in the semis and it’s anyone’s guess who will be in the finals. This level of competitiveness is very good for the competition, and we wish all four teams good luck tomorrow,” Monteith added.
