Erindale College will look to continue their undefeated run in the 2023 Peter Mulholland Cup, when they take on Endeavor SHS in Windsor on Wednesday afternoon.

Click here to watch all the action live from 12:30pm.

Erindale have begun their PMC campaign in near perfect fashion, winning their three pool games to advance to the quarter finals with the best for and against of any team in the competition.

Stacked with ACT Schoolboys, the Erindale side is well balanced with representation across the entire CRRL, including Canberra Raiders and Monaro Colts junior programs. 

Their opposition, Endeavor Sports High School, were apart of the seeded pool with Westfields, The Hills and Patrician Brothers Blacktown.

Though losing their three pool games, the Caringbah school shouldn't be taken lightly, bolstered with talent across the park.

Players to watch

Ethan Alaia (Erindale College)

Ethan Alaia has had an outstanding 2023 season, playing in the SG Ball Cup, u18's Country Championships, ACT Schoolboys, and now returning to play first grade for Woden Valley Rams.

The crafty halfback has been important in Erindale's PMC campaign, scoring three tries in three games. 

Mark Tuialii (Erindale College)

Mark Tuialii has been Erindale's secret weapon in right centre, proving dangerous in both attack and defence.

Tuialii was awarded best on ground in their incredible 22-10 victory over last year's premiers, Patrician Brothers Fairfield, in the final round game of the tournament.

Loko Jnr Pasifiki Tonga (Endeavor SHS)

Loko Jnr Pasifiki Tonga has an impressive resume, having signed with the St George Illawarra Dragons and making his NSW Cup debut against Rabbitohs on Saturday.

The 194cm prop-forward was recently selected in the 2023 Australian Schoolboys representative side. Tonga also last year played for Ipswitch SHS, who won the Allan Langer Trophy.

Nikora Williams (Endeavor SHS)

Nikora Williams is another threat for the Endeavor outfit, having been also selected alongside teammate Tonga in the Australian Schoolboys side for 2023.

Williams is a try scoring threat in the centres for Endeavor, and also boasts a handy goal-kicking ability.
