JTCC SPORT UPDATE - Term 3 Week 5
With our Term 3 MISA Competition in the final few weeks of the season, we have a few teams in position to finish 1st or 2nd in their respective divisions. Our 10-12 Boys AFL Team are currently undefeated and sit in 1st place in their division. Our 10-12 Boys Cricket team and our 7-9 Girls Soccer team are also in strong positions on the table and have the potential to win a premiership this term.
This Term our U15s Rugby League Boys Team have been competing in a 3 game State of Origin series against Mt Carmel. Students will play games in Week 3,5 and 7 and spend the other weeks of the season in a Training Camp scenario. The competition is currently tied at 1-1 with the deciding game being in Week 7. It has been a great term of rugby league and the students have enjoyed the competitiveness and challenge of the State of Origin Series.

Indoor Cricket 10-12 Boys Chapman |
Lost 79-90 vs Broughton |
Matt Maytom |
BAC batted first and their opening partnership started really strong with 42 runs off the first 3 overs. We bowled and fielded well after that, restricting the opposition to just 90 runs. JT struggled with the bat and we couldn’t quite string a good partnership together to bring it home. |

AFL 10-12 Boys Geribo |
Won 76-27 Vs Magdaleme |
Coby Hilton |
Not a very good start for these boys. It was very hard to get a full team together as year 12 had trials and year 10 were at camp, lucky there were the same Year 11s keen to help out. Magdalene came out strong, tackling some of our unexpected players to the ground ( miguel ) and scoring the first three goals. Thomas and Riley kept kicking the ball out on the full, giving Magdalene the ball over and over again. The half time whistle went off and the boys ran over to disappointed Geribo, he gave them an inspirational talk as well as Bridget and Ashlee. They went out in the second half and dominated Magdalene winning 76-27 with Coby Hilton scoring 6 goals. Angus also helped out with some strong tackles and great catches. Riley didn’t play his best game today as he kept trying to kick the ball and got the air instead. But other than that the boys worked as a team and came out with a strong win. Undefeated at the moment Written by Bridget and Ashlee |

Unfortunately due to Year 12 Trials and Year 10, we were unable to field a team this week. |

Soccer 9-10 Boys Cook |
Lost 2 - 0 Magdalene |
Emilio Miranda |
The 9/10 Boys Soccer team were down on numbers this week due to Year 10 camp. Thanks to Jeshua, Will and Luke for filling in. The boys were keen for a good result but after conceding a goal in the 5th minute, a few of the boys lost motivation to compete and represent the school, and as such we conceded another goal in the 12th minute, due to lack of communication and commitment. Some foul play from both teams saw several boys yellow carded which reflected the attitudes of the majority. A disappointing result for the boys, which hopefully can be turned around next week against Macarthur Anglican School. Well done to Emilio Miranda who was involved in most attacking plays, combined well with his teammates, created numerous forward opportunities and most importantly, never gave up. |

Soccer 7-8 Boys Williamson |
Lost 3-2 vs Magdalene |
Davonne Plaatjies |
Again a frustrating and disappointing afternoon. Despite holding the lead at both 1-0 and 2-1, we succumbed to two late goals as our defensive resolve vanished. We created numerous one on one opportunities but our usually reliable scoring machine was off target. The team was not helped by the correct sending off of one of our central defenders, but with 7 minutes to play and in the lead, we needed to be able to hang on. A change of attitude to focus on the positives and be willing to work for each other is needed to save the season. |

Soccer 7-9 Girls Troy |
1-0 |
Darcie Bennett Lillian Wicks |
The 7-9 girls soccer team is a great mix of talent and personality. These young ladies are confident, but not cocky, and love their soccer. Wonderful leadership skills were shown by Darcie, Alice and Jorja, who guided the team to a hard fought 1-0 victory over MAG. JTCC’s defense was outstanding - the backs worked well with Darcie in goals to stop MAG from converting their chances. We went into the halftime break at 0-0. The girls decided to change formation and the strategy worked. Thanks to a super assist from Ava, Jorja kicked the winning goal over the goalies head and into the back of the nets. Great communication and teamwork today, ladies. The game was played clean, hard and with good spirit. Well done! |

Netball 9-10 Girls Bulger |
Lost 26-7 |
Mia Drayton |
We knew we would have a difficult game against Mt Carmel today but the JT Team put up a great fight. The half time score was a low 9-3 reflecting the quality and fast pace of the game. Both teams working hard to force errors, take intercepts and secure rebounds. The ball was moved quickly from end to end. It was still either team's game. Unfortunately the second half saw Mt Carmel take a convincing lead. I was very proud of our efforts, the enthusiasm, energy and encouragement shown by all was lovely to watch. A sincere thank you to Ella Carstens, Courtney Doyle, Hannah Epple and Maddison Burke of Year 9, joining the team in place of our Year 10 students who were absent at Camp. Each new team member gave everything they could to try and take the win, their sportsmanship was encouraging and their competitiveness helped to drive our energy levels. A really enjoyable game to watch, despite the final score. |

Emma Nortey |
It was a fun afternoon in the sun with the Netball girls today. They were keen and enthusiastic to show off their skills on the court and come away with a win. Mt.Carmel however were late to arrive so only three quarters of the game were played. The JT girls played extremely well for the first two quarters with excellent movement around the court and most shots taken being successful. It was only in the last 10 minutes of the game they began to tire and intercepts by the other team were common. A little disappointing the girls lost as I wanted to win for Miss Pedder while she was at camp. Thanks so much to Yr 12 student Kaitlin Kellett for refereeing after sitting her Trial exam. |

Indoor Cricket 10-12 Boys Chapman |
Won 104-51 Vs MCCC |
Max Whelan |
JT won the toss and elected to bowl first against MCCC. Our bowlers put MC under huge pressure, however, we didn’t back them up in the field. Despite this, we kept two skins under 10 runs and one solid partnership got the opportunity to 51. Max Whelan with a notable performance getting a hatrick. JT started strong with the bat and then played conservatively cruising to a 50+ run win. |
|
AFL 10-12 Boys Geribo |
Won 53-20 vs MAS |
Marshall Sheehan |
A physical game of AFL saw another dominating win for the senior boys against MAS. A silky midfield consisting of Coby, Noah, Angus and Riley had the ball flowing freely to allow some easy looks up front. A terrifying defensive presence of Marshall, Zac, Miguel and Ben racked up disposals, as well as restricting MAS to 20 points. Goal scorers this week consisted of Coby, Riley, Angus and Denniss (2 each). |

AFL 10-12 Girls Neaves |
Loss 27-0 |
Maddie Skinner |
Another week where unfortunately the team played short due to injury and illness. Once again our defence was strong, however we lacked the ability to maintain possession and get the ball to our forwards. It was great to see the girls take more marks and have better movement of the ball through the midfield. Communication is also getting better with the girls understanding positioning more each game. I know a win is just around the corner. |

Rugby League U15s Boys Tran/McGrath |
loss 18-0 |
Moni Jnr |
A very disappointing result given the training the boys have had over the last few weeks. We lacked enthusiasm and direction today which saw us lost and confused around the park. Our marker work needs refining as does our ability to put our plays into action come next week. This makes it 1-1 in the series and I have no doubt they we are able to make these improvements in time for our next game |

Soccer 9-10 Boys Cook |
0 - 0 Draw Macarthur Anglican School |
Coahn Timmer |
As the season draws to a close, once again the 9/10 Boys MISA team found themselves short on numbers again due to player sickness and injury. Special thanks to Lucas Faila for filling in the backline and well done, as he did a pretty good job against his opposition. A much better effort by the team this week, in a different formation that highlights our strengths. Some great combination play out from the back allowed numerous midfield play against a skilful opposition. We had numerous chances in the final third, corners free kicks and some open play, but we were unable to capitalise on our chances. The scored remained as a scoreless draw, but we get our first point of the year. Our last game of the season against Mt Carmel next wee, fingers crossed we can get the job done and secure one win for the season. MVP: Cohan Timmer - did what he was asked, to the best of his ability and was dominant force in the backline/ |

Soccer 7-8 Boys Williamson |
Won 3-1 vs BAC |
Maher Boonzaier |
Well done to the junior boys on their first win of the season. It has taken longer than expected and is hopefully a kick starter to some more promising results. Our first half featured a continuation of missed opportunities, but three quick goals in the second half secured a comfortable win. Congratulations to the goal scorers. Two from our MVP and one from Davonne Plaatjies. |

Soccer 7-9 Girls Joy |
Won 1-0 |
Lillian Wicks |
Another day, another clean sheet win for our girls. After a monumental win over tough opponents Magdalene Catholic College last week, JTCC girls took on Macarthur Anglican School (MAS) in a very important fixture. The pressure of the game was handled lightly by the team with a strong start to the game from minute one. Despite some good link up plays, we couldn’t break through on goal. It wasn’t until the second half when young emerging talent, Matilda Lamaro (Year 7), slotted a tidy finish from a tight angle that we were able to take the lead. It seemed as though we had underestimated our opponents with some good chances created by MAS, however, some phenomenal defending kept our defence on lock. A near-immaculate performance in central defence by Lillian Wicks in particular who deserves recognition for her crucial tackles in multiple 2v1 situations where we were exploited. In the end, we came through with a 1-0 win which maintains our unbeaten streak in the MISA comp and carries the JTCC girls team to the top of Division 1. Huge progress from the girls this year! |

Ava Hilton Georgia Bastock |
A fantastic game today for the John Therry Intermediate Netball Team. It was nice to finally have a fukk team and see the girls work together. They were definitely a force on the court today, all players so versatile in their positions on the court, I could confidently ask each one of the team to play in any position and they would try their best and do it well. They implemented great strategies in defence and attack, their communication was impressive. They maintained their intensity for the duration of the game no matter how far in front they were. I was very proud of their teamwork and sportsmanship. A lovely afternoon, Congratulations on your win. |

Netball 7-8 Girls Pedder |
34-6 Loss |
The girls played a good game, and tried their best to keep up with a strong team. The girls played a strong third quarter where they saw most of their goals. The aim of todays game was to develop working as a team, and talking to each other on the court to more easily get the ball to the goal circle. |

MISA GOLF 2023
On Wednesday 16th August, John Therry sent five students to Camden Lakeside to compete at the 2023 MISA Golf Championships. Mr Cook and I had the privilege of convening the day and we had 32 eager students ready to test their golfing abilities on a tough Camden Lakeside course. The tournament was split into a Cup (Handicap) and Plate (Scratch) event and we had competitors in both events. Despite not playing at his absolute best, Kobey demonstrated why he is a single handicapper with some great shots throughout the day. Luke, Luke, Xavier and Diego competed in the plate event and despite a slow start, managed to show some good golfing skills and knowledge throughout the day. Unfortunately our students did not finish in the top 3 in their divisions, but they had a great day and it was good to see some eager golfers at John Therry.
