JTCC SPORT UPDATE - Term 3 Week 7

With the regular season of our MISA competition coming to a close, next week will see the last MISA games for the term. We have been fortunate enough to to be treated to another perfect term weather wise. We have two teams competing in a grand final, with our coaches hopeful of bringing home the trophy. 

With Term 3 coming to a close, I on behalf of the sport faculty would like to acknowledge and thank the 2023 Year 12 cohort for their contributions to sport at John Therry. We have been blessed with some fantastic athletes and their enthusiasm and commitment to sport will be missed. I hope you have enjoyed your time representing John Therry and I wish you all the best for your future endeavours. 

We wish the following teams good luck for their grand final next week. 

  • 10-12 Boys AFL (Mr Geribo). 
  • U15s Boys Rugby League (Mr McGrath & Mr Tran)

A special mention to the U15s Boys League team who have spent most of their term training as part of their State of Origin Series. They will play their deciding game three on Tuesday against Mt Carmel.

We also have teams competing for a third place playoff:

  • 10-12 Boys Indoor Cricket (Mr Chapman)
  • 9-10 Netball (Mr Bulger)

Short Report

Indoor Cricket


10-12 Boys


Chapman

Lost 98-63 vs MAS

Luke Isakka

JT bowled first in our match against MAS. While our bowling was very good, our fielding left a lot to be desired, missing a dozen crucial chances. Despite this, we restricted them to under a hundred runs and had a reasonable chance at victory. Our first batting pair of Luke and Mason got 37 runs from the first three over, however, MAS bowling was very tidy and they backed this up in the field.


Score: 98-63 MAS

AFL


10-12 Boys


Geribo

Won 127-6

Vs THAC


Benjamin Mostyn

Basically a training match against a weak THAC side which saw the ball shared around today. Our main focus this match was to minimise marks given up to the opposition, however with such a blowout game, we steered away from it. Today saw Benny’s first goal which was one of the highlights of the day, as well as Ethan and Diego kicking a few of their own. Goal scorers this week consisted of Coby (5), Ethan, Benny, Diego (3), Darcy (2), Riley (1) and Denniss (4). Final score JT 20.7 (127) - (

Vs MTCC

Emilio Miranda and Cohen Timmer

The last game of the season against our nemesis Mt Carmel. With only 1 available sub, and limited warm-up time, the boys were keen for their last season game. The boys started well combining well all over the park. With a quick loss of possession, Mt Carmel were on the attack, and a quick shot soon had us down on the scoresheet. JTCC had numerous opportunities on goal but failed to capitalise. 

A quick breakdown of the game is all that was needed as JT came out totally dominating the game. Great team football on display, and we soon were leading 2-1, with a very impressed opposition coach stating, "How the hack are you guys coming last".

The best performance was left for the last game, as we now wait for other results to determine if we play next week in the semi's.

MVP's - Emilio Miranda for his efforts in attack and Cohan Timmer for his efforts in defence.

7-8 Boys


Williamson

Lost 4-3 vs

Bryson McIntyre

A topsy turvy game today against an evenly matched opponent. Some defensive lapses in the first half saw us three goals down near halftime. 

An inspired response, with grit and determination, led to one goal from Bryson before halftime and two from Cooper after the break. We were back even with 10 minutes to go and all the momentum. Unfortunately a late tussle for the ball resulted in a loss of possession and a seventh goal in the game to them. 

The boys are to be commended for levelling the score and look headed for a disappointing fifth verse sixth play-off next week.

Alice Stephenson

The JT girls were on the back foot right from the start as Mt. Carmel scored twice in the first couple of minutes of the game. This surprised JT but they then spent the most of this game defending their own half. However, a great goal by Alice came late in the first half to be 3-1 at half time.

Since the girls coach - Mr Joy was absent, Mr Cook gave them a pep talk at half time (via speaker phone) to rev them up however the strong defensive and skills of the Mt. Carmel girls were difficult to break. Many of our goalkeeper Darcie's saves were impressive.

Prior to this game the girls were undefeated in the comp. They will have the privilege to play this team in the semi or final when they have their coach on the sidelines to hopefully assist them win.

19-19

Annelise Hall and Elyse Stonebridge

An action packed game against Magdalene today. John Therry needed the win to secure third place heading into the semi finals. The girls showed great determination, the game was fast and tough. John Therry demonstrated great composure, skill and teamwork. I was impressed by the teams ability to control their pace of play, quick and efficient when opportunities presented, while other times composed and controlled, maximising on turnovers and the hard work of the defensive end. It is a pleasure to coach a team like this with such experience and high level of skill. A very exciting game to watch. Congratulations on the draw John Therry, a sound result.

Sophie Regan & Rylee Louden

. The final game for Year 7 and 8 girls was against Magdalene. The team had a good first quarter thay saw them with equal scores. However, by the remaining quarters the score slowly got away from them. The girls were positive throughout the game besides the loss, and enjoyed playing their last game as a team.

Luke Isakka

JT played BAC in the MISA cricket semi final. We won the toss and elected to bowl first. While our bowlers did their job with the ball, our poor fielding again let us down, missing multiple catches and run outs. With the bat we had some good partnerships, however, we couldn’t quite get the job done.

Diego Martin

A must win semi final against MCCC saw our toughest game of the season. JT started slow, allowing easy marks and not winning possession, which saw us go down 14-0 early. The injection of Angus saw some spark as we clawed our way back to a 2 point deficit at halftime. Ethan, Diego and Preston played outstanding games, going hard into every contest without a worry for their bodies. JT picked it up in the second half, playing more confidently and freely. Goal scorers this week consisted of Ethan, Riley (1 each), and Denniss (4). Final score JT 6.3 (39) - MCCC 2.5 (17)

Macarthur Anglican School

MVP: Cohan Timmer

The boys continue to improve as their season progresses with another dominating 2 - 0 performance. The boys have “bought into their new formation and can easily outplay their opposition with the overload across all areas of the park. Good contributions today by Lucas Faila (Yr 7), Issac Russell, Cohan Timmer, Emerson Yevenes, Emilio Miranda and Robbie Blakely.

Our possession of the ball allowed us to create numerous scoring opportunities which we failed to convert. I look forward to coaching the boys in the future and thank the boys for their efforts through a long season of Diocesan, Bill Turner and MISA competitions.

A tight first half conflicted with a wide open second half where we made the most of our chances with five different goal scorers. Well done to Davonne, Maahir, Cooper M, Floilan and Jackson on some great finishing. Especially Jackson's penalty which was the last kick of the game and the season. The boys are to be commended for their effort throughout the season. Better completions and less numbers in the squad may well have led to more success.

Magdalene

Matilda Lamaro

After a disheartening loss to Mount Carmel last week, the girls went into today’s knockout fixture against Magdalene with poor morale. Magdalene scored what could be only described as a “scrappy” goal to get the lead on us. It was evident that the nature of the first goal definitely took a toll on the JTCC girls as they looked a shadow of their usual selves. Work rate had taken a tumble and miscommunication on the pitch became more and more frequent. 


Some great saves from goalkeeper Darcie Bennett kept the scoresheet static until they found their way through again in the second half to make it 2-0. Despite a terrific start to the campaign, the girls left the match at the final whistle disappointed knowing it was a winnable game. Credit to Matilda Lamaro (year 7) who was the silver lining of the otherwise lack-lustre performance, dropping deep from attack to apply pressure and constantly working for the ball and creating chances to a point where she had to be subbed off due to a poor tackle from one of the opposing midfielders. One to look back on and hopefully use as motivation to bounce back in our final game for securing third place.

A strong game against Mt Annan Christian College today. Team work has improved significantly over the past two games as players are more comfortable together. Even though we had a substantial lead John Therry sustained their effort  with great sportsmanship. All players demonstrated their versatility today, playing a variety of different positions on the court. It is a privilege to work with such a talented group.

Sienna Marelic

The girls played an amazing game today, their strongest yet against Mt Carmel. Throughout this short seasons the team became much more fluent in their game play, and were able to make more seamless plays to get the ball to the goal end. Both shooters worked so well as a team during this game that saw a huge win. The defence end took every opportunity to get the ball back for our team to score. Well done!!
