The pleasing aspect of the match was the commitment in defence, with the boys tackling like Trojans.
The game wasn’t 30 seconds old when St Pat’s scored.
The Stormers wouldn’t let this rattle their game, however, and the try seemed to spark them into action.
Tries to Callum Tierney and two to Eli Morris had the team up 18-6 up at halftime.
This was a real confidence boost for the Stormers but they didn’t let it go to their heads as they ran out for the second half.
It was more of the same in the second stanza with Ethan Barratt and Angus Clues finding the line, giving the Storm Troopers a much deserved 30-6 win.
The pleasing aspect of the match was the commitment in defence, with the boys tackling like Trojans.
The Storm Troopers all worked extremely hard with Bryson Jones and Daniel Kable outstanding.
They now face their biggest test so far as they head to Orange on Saturday to take on Bathurst Panthers at Wade Park.
The mighty Stormers are looking keenly to progress to the grand final and will need to defeat Panthers in this preliminary one to do so.
Kick off is scheduled for 9.55am. This will be a big match, with Panthers finishing the regular season just ahead of the Storm Troopers on the ladder. The Stormers are ready for the challenge and will be giving everything they’ve got come game day.
Having beaten St Pat’s, who nipped at their heels on the ladder throughout the season, they will be heading into this match with confidence.
The successful team will then head to Mudgee for the grand final and a crack at the title.
Good luck to the Under 11 Storm Troopers in their preliminary final and congratulations on their great achievements throughout the season.
