It has been quite a season for the Sunshine Coast Grammar 1st XV Rugby side and in particular for their captain, Tate McDermott who has become the team’s first Australian Schools representative.
This year Tate has been successful in leading the Grammar 1st XV to victory in taking out their fifth consecutive premiership in the regional Sunshine Coast Secondary Schools Rugby Union competition, as well as being undefeated in their 2016 European campaign. Tate was also one of four Grammar players selected to play in the Queensland Schoolboys side over the recent break and most recently chosen in the Australian Schools Barbarians to play Tongan Schools in September.
