Some cricket-like scores featured in the girls’ division on day one of the National Youth Championships at Sunshine Coast Stadium on Wednesday.
Queensland Secondary Schools Touch and New South Wales Combined High Schools both went to town on their opposition with the two giants of the division having an easy day.
QSST scored 39 touchdowns and conceded two in their opening three matches while NSWCHS crossed 38 times and had their defence breached on five occasions.
QSST nearly wrote the history books with their 23-0 thumping of Western Tigers. It was two touchdowns short of the all-time record, which coincidently is held by QSST when they defeated Victoria 25-0 in 2011.
NSWCHS had a big win against cross-school rivals New South Wales Combined Independent Schools, running in 15 touchdowns to zip.
Not surprisingly the two heavyweights are undefeated after day one.
New South Wales Combined Catholic Colleges are also undefeated after winning their three matches on day one.
They had two close matches against New South Wales Touch Association Development Team (4-2) and South West Queensland Swans (5-3).
NSWCCC are second in Pool A behind QSST on percentage. The Swans are third with South Australia heat coming fourth.
NSWCHS lead Pool B with Brisbane City Cobras in second and NSWCIS in third.
