THE 13-YEAR-OLD IRONMAN
TEARAHI BRADYโS RECORD-BREAKING THREE
GRAND FINALS IN ONE DAY
GUILDFORD โ It is easy to look at the towering point tallies, the commanding line-break stats, and the cold-blooded goal-kicking and assume you are reading about an established
senior superstar. Then you look at his birth certificate. Tearahi Brady is just 13 years old.
Yet, on one unforgettable, relentless Sunday in Kellyville, the Guildford Owls prodigy etched his name into Australian rugby league folklore by doing what was previously thought humanly impossible: he played in THREE Division 1 Grand Finals in a single day, one after the other!
An Ironman Feat for the Ages
Stepping onto the field for one top-tier, high-intensity Division 1 Grand Final tests the physical limits of any young athlete. Playing in three on the exact same dayโspanning Under 13 Division 1, Under 14 Division 1, and Under 15 Division 1โdefies belief.
At just 13, Brady was not only backing up across 240 minutes of championship-level football, but he was routinely taking the field against opponents two full years older, significantly heavier, and far more physically developed. Across the entire history of the NSWRL junior system, finding another player who backed up for three consecutive premier Grand Finals on the same day is virtually unheard of.
His impact throughout the postseason was monumental. In the Under 14 Division 1 Semi-Final, Brady proved to be the ultimate big-game player, stepping up under intense pressure to score a crucial try and slot 3 goals to seal a 10-point personal haul that punched his team's ticket to the decider.
The Ultimate Point Machine: 6 of the Club's Top 20 Scoring Games
Bradyโs historic Grand Final marathon was built on a regular season where he shattered defensive lines and record books alike. Finishing as the #1 overall point-scorer for the entire Guildford Owls club with 182 points (26 tries, 39 conversions), his dominance is highlighted by an astonishing stat: Tearahi Brady claims 6 of the top 20 individual single-game scoring performances across the entire club.
โ The 32-Point Equalizer (Round 1 v Rouse Hill U13 Div 1): Brady opened his campaign with an all-time classic, racking up 4 tries and kicking 8 goals in a 32-point blitzโtying the record for the highest individual scoring match in club history.
โ The 5-Try Explosion (Round 9 v Wentworthville U13 Div 1): In a high-stakes localderby, Brady put on a clinic, crossing the line 5 times and kicking 3 goals for a
massive 26-point haul.
โ The Mounties Masterclass (Round 2 v Mounties U13 Div 1): Another 26-point showcase, bagging 4 tries and slotting 5 goals.
โ The Greystanes Hat-Trick (Round 3 v Greystanes U13 Div 1): Brady proved unstoppable once again, bagging 3 tries and slotting 4 goals for a 20-point
performance.
โ Wenty Repeat Performance (Round 15 v Wentworthville U13 Div 1): Closed out the regular season with 2 tries and 5 goals for another 18-point highlight match.
Whether slotting clutch goals under pressure, delivering in tense Division 1 Semi-Finals, or backing up for his third Grand Final kickoff of the day, Tearahi Brady has proven that age is
merely a number. With unmatched durability, elite skill, and a competitive drive that sets him apart, Guildford's 13-year-old ironman isn't just a local sensationโhe is a future NRL prospect in the making.
