MISA- Finals, Term 3

Sport	Result	MVP	Short Report
Indoor Cricket 10-12 Boys Chapman	WON 80-59 VS MCCC	Bailey White	JT played MCCC in the playoff for 3rd place. We fielded much better than in recent weeks which helped restrict the opposition to 59 runs.a big shout out to Bailey White for his 3 wickets in an over. Our batting partnerships were consistent and we cruised past the total for a comfortable win. JT win: 80-59 MVP: Bailey White
AFL 10-12 Boys Geribo	Lost 41-21 vs MAS	Miguel Narvaez	A heartbreaking finale to a stellar season for the senior boys AFL team. The last MISA games for our year 12s Brendan and Denniss unfortunately wasn’t to be, with MAS proving too good in the last dance. MAS started strong, winning possession and kicking some early goals to take the lead. Some sloppy play along with some tough calls against us just took the game out of reach, with some late goals to no avail. Goal scorers this week consisted of Riley, Ethan and Denniss.
Soccer 7-9 Girls Joy	1-1 Draw vs St Pats	Candice Stapleton	A strong finish to one of the most eventful seasons of MISA soccer for our girls. We took on St Patrick’s College (SPC) for our 3rd place match. Due to rule changes, we merely needed to come out with a draw in order to secure 3rd place as our initial games were dominant in comparison. 15 minutes into the game, a controversial penalty gave SPC the lead as we trailed behind 1-0. The game became increasingly dependent on the defensive output of our outfield players given the absence of our 1st choice goalkeeper Darcie Bennett (Year 9), who has been brilliant this year between the posts, currently out due to injury. Despite this, JTCC girls were exceptional in winning the ball back with a particularly revitalised performance by Candice Stapleton (Year 7) who made more successful tackles / interceptions than any other player. Although we were making stellar opportunities, our conversion rate was lacking. This was the case until Savannah-May Phommaxay (Year 7) got off the mark with her first goal for the team coming at a crucial time. The rest of the game was just a matter of shutting down opposition chances and running down the clock. At the final whistle, we came out with a shared point which ultimately won us the 3rd place spot in the ladder. Great work this season from the girls as we wind down another promising term of MISA Soccer.
Netball 9-10 Girls Bulger	Won 22-5 vs St Pats	Jorja Smith and Tahlia Sutton	A well deserved win for the JT MISA Netball Team. They performed exceptionally well in some difficult windy conditions. The maintained a competitive fast pace for the duration of the game that secured them a significant lead. Congratulation all! It has been a privilege to coach such a talented group of Netball players. Third place is a good result you should be proud.

Grand Final Win against MCCC 22-0

What a unique season! For the first time, John Therry entered into a competition with just one other team in the first division (Mount Carmel) where we played a State of Origin series. Given there were only 3 games, we were required to train for most of the term. We were able to work on our skill sets and develop other aspects of our game. We won the first game and lost by a significant margin in the second. The boys stewed on this and showed up to training to ensure this didn't happen again. We started the first half strong with Kale and Sullivan taking some tough carries out of our half to get our sets started. Benji and Moni led the way by their enthusiasm and the rest followed. Despite the position changes, each member of the team fulfilled their role through their workload and communication, resulting in JT taking home the chocolates. Well done on a great season boys!
