The news from warriors.kiwi is that the Harold Matthews premiers will be in the spotlight tomorrow, making a grand appearance at the Go Media Stadium during halftime of the Warriors' NRL clash against the Storm.
These young Warriors have certainly made a name for themselves by securing three unexpected victories to clinch the prestigious under-17 title back on April 27.
Now, after seven weeks, they're coming together once again to bask in the glory of their success in front of their loyal Go Media Stadium supporters.
Co-captain Kaawyn Patterson and his teammates must feel like they've been riding a rollercoaster for the past eight months.
It was just last November when this group of determined players, including the then 16-year-old Patterson from Westlake Boys' High School, embarked on a journey that would see them make history as the first NZ Warriors team to compete in the Harold Matthews Cup.
This competition, which has been a stepping stone for many NRL stars since its inception by the New South Wales Rugby League in 1970, has certainly tested their mettle.
But tomorrow, as they stand proud in front of the roaring crowd at the Go Media Stadium, these young players will be reminded of the hard work, dedication, and perseverance that brought them to this moment.
It's a moment that they will surely cherish for years to come, as they continue to strive for greatness in the world of rugby league.
