Both the 12’s and 13’s made it through to the quarter finals but went down. This placed them in the play-offs for fifth and sixth.

The 12’s finished up in sixth place from the 17 competing teams, and the 13’s were also placed sixth but from 18 teams.

Connor Bush was awarded Player’s Player and was the top try-scorer for the 13’s team, as was Thomas Carey for the 12’s.
