Seven Hills High School girls rugby league team came second in the 2012 State NRL Captain?s Cup
THE girls from Seven Hills have tackled the big time and come within reach of the biggest prize of all.
Not that they're too disappointed; not when they've knocked off the likes of multiple title-winners Bass Hill High on the way to the State NRL Captains Cup final, when representing the Parramatta district.
That semi-final against Bass Hill, representing Canterbury, finished 12-all but Seven Hills High went through to the final under the first try-scorer rule.
They then lost 16-0 to South Strathfield High, representing Balmain.
But it's been a buzz getting there for the 14 year 7 and 8 rugby league recruits.
"It was amazing," Summer Kano said.
Said Aliti Namoce: "We're pumped for next year.
"Thank you to Michael [Bassin] and the Eels S.G. Ball boys for all your help and guidance in the lead-up and on the day."
Emboldened, the girls are already tackling their strategy for the next campaign.
Kano was presented with the best-and-fairest award but dare it be said: rugby league was the real winner.
