The boys successfully moved through the first game and then had some tough wins in the next 3 games where we came from behind to eventually progress to the Grand Final. We entered the Grand Final against an undefeated CIS full of confidence. CIS dominated early proceedings in the final and CCC South never recovered. They completely dominated the final which was a disappointing climax to the carnival, but the boys performed admirably to be 2018 runner up. Five boys were selected in the NSW All Schools team to play at the National Carnival in Adelaide, SA from Sunday 21 July to Saturday 28 July.
