SPORT REPORT

JTCC SPORT UPDATE - Term 4 Week 7.

We are entering our last MISA game of the season with John Therry in a strong position. We have had a strong term with John Therry making 4 grand finals in the search for those elusive premierships. We wish our 4 grand finalist teams all the best for their grand final in Week 8. 

Good luck to the following teams who are in a grand final

  • 7-9 Boys AFL Team (Geribo)
  • 7-9 Boys Indoor Cricket (Chapman)
  • 7-9 Girls Softball (Joy)
  • 10-11 Mixed Frisbee (Cook)

On behalf of the sport faculty, I wish to thank all students and staff for their contribution to MISA sport so far this year. John Therry will go into the last week of the season with a chance to win the overall MISA trophy for 2023.

Win 8-7 

Jordan Truckle

For the first time this term, we were able to field a full team. The boys were desperate for a win after losing to Magdalene in the earlier rounds but seemed to be evenly matched. Jordan was a terrific addition, banking a few tries on debut and helped calm the nerves. The game went down to the final play, where our defence held on to claim the victory

Sullivan O’Dwyer

The backs defended really well today, after a strong start from Mt Carmel. We ended up holding them to just the one goal. The combination between our mids and forwards worked well again today, compiling 81 points. Our MVP for the day, Sully, was outstanding, creating most of our chances, with his accurate kicks and hand balls, and scoring 5 goals himself. We look forward to the final in a couple of weeks time.

Nevaeh Metcalfe

Another very close Loss in the final round of the season. The girls fought back hard from 13-0 down early in the first half to equal the game and going into half time only 3 points down. The second half was a tough fight and although we had our opportunities to close out the game, unfortunately we're unable to secure the win.

Cody Meisenhofen

An all around dominant performance for the JTCC 10-11 Boys Volleyball team. Winning the first set 25-12 then the second set 25-14, the boys never looked like they would lose. Cody Meisenhofen’s spiking and serving left the other team too afraid to return the ball with the amount of heat on it and alongside Lachlan Phiousodarith’s setting, they became an unstoppable force. Great job to the whole team.

Serafina Logai-Lusiano

The girls had practiced their skills throughout the week and this was on display at the start of the match.

However we narrowly lost an exciting first set 25-23 with many great rallies between opponents. This was disappointing for the girls that had the lead for the majority of this set. A few awesome blocks at the net by Fisiilila Angianga in the second set gave the girls confidence that they would come through with a win. This was not to be as the heat and lack of concentration was against them. It was a close exciting match that we should have been victorious. Maybe next week!

Lily Atkins

An unfortunate turn of events for our girls as we took on Mount Carmel Catholic College for the reverse fixture. After narrowly beating the opposition in our last visit, we came in with high morale despite a lack of squad depth. It was a tight first innings with both teams ending the round 5-5, however the top half of the second innings saw us close off MCCC to 3 runs thanks to some brilliant pitching from Lily Atkins striking out three batters for the turnover. Although we went into the bottom half of the innings with a slight advantage, our opponents bested us with some fantastic fielding and pitching from their players. Despite some good hits, our batters couldnt make it past first base before they sealed the win with a 3rd tap out. Although we lost the game, the girls showed composture and respect for the opposition. An opportunity to learn and improve.

Can you feel it? The is a vibe and the JTCC Opens frisbee team are consumed by it. They are talking the talk and walking the walk. They are trying new skills and formations to develop their game sense. JTCC are on a roll. 15-2 at the half, 31-8 at the full.

Great efforts by all with the following students getting touchdowns.

Grace 6, Annelise 5, Jude 3, Angus 3, Ayla 1 and Garang 1.

Play of the day - Grace O'Reilly with a 10m sprint and a two metre dive with a endzone grab by the fingertips.

LOSS

Will Shearer

A very disappointing finish to what was a successful season. A few troops down once again, saw us fall short of a victory. The boys were lacking energy and enthusiasm which allowed for MCCC to capitalise on every play. Fatigue played a major factor, with no reserves for most of the match, whilst the weather did us no favours. However, it’s a shame to see the boys to miss out on the Grand final given the ability of the team. We will be back again next year to bring the trophy home!

A huge congratulations to the girls! Our first win of the season sees us move into the playoff for third place next week. We played the best game all season and I am so proud of the girls. They have shown great determination and grit this season, and to finally come away with a win at the crucial end of the season is a wonderful achievement to the girls. Ava, Nevaeh, Tahlia and Madi A and Tanisha controlled the midfield, defending hard and moving the ball to our forwards. A huge effort from Amelia, Jorja, Courtney, Atong and Ariana in the back, with strong tackling all game. Mia, Hannah, Maddie B and Layla were consistently strong in the forwards and worked hard to gain possession. A massive improvement from the whole team, and hopefully we can continue this winning momentum into next week. Well done girls!

Calvin George

Narrow loss in what was always going to be a difficult match without our Captain. William Chanhdara stepped in as a capable replacement. Our movement, enthusiasm and strong teamwork caused them many problems and we were unlucky not to convert a few more chances. A respectable finish to the season for a team that has shown great improvement throughout.

Mary-Agnes Fatialofa

The girls were up against an undefeated Thomas Hassell in the semi-final today but were convinced they had an opportunity to upset the favourites. This was evident in the first set with the JT girls working together to execute excellent rallies, set up winning points at the net and even block the defense spikes. They were unlucky to lose this very close first set. Throughout the second set the girls remained confident however a few poor serves and returns let the opposition to an easier victory than expected.

The team played exceptionally well today and are looking forward to playing off for third next week in the minor final.

Thanks to Elizabeth Soun and Ashlee Hunter for assisting today with the team and for scoring as we were down three players.

Nicholas Augustine 

JT won the toss in our semi final against MAS and decided to bowl first. We bowled some really good line and length which was backed up by our excellent fielding. MAS were kept to just 52 runs.  With the bat we started strong, but then our middle pairs struggled to get going, leaving 20 runs for the final pair. The boys managed the game beautifully as we went ahead on the second last ball, before safely defending the last ball of the game. A great win by JT.

Mary Camilleri

JTCC Softball girls were once again up against the reigning leaders St Patrick’s College who were yet to switch out in a set of innings. Having lost 10-3 to them the last time we faced off, we knew beating them would not be an easy task especially given the absence of star offensive player Alice Stephenson. Despite some decent efforts to even the game, the score sat 5-0 at the end of the first innings. It looked like it was going to be an annihilation with STP keeping us at a blank but our girls adapted phenomenally with some great pitching from Lily Atkins. At the end of the top half, we held off STP to a single run but the high was short- lived given the formidable fielding from STP that ended our match with a 6-0 loss. Mary Camilleri proved to be a silver lining in the cloud however, demonstrating excellent leadership and skill in multiple moments of the game. Although we take another L, we move forward being the first and only team to end STP’s 10 run streak.

Garang Bol

A delayed trip to the venue only gave the team 4 minutes Before the gane started, and the team was a little frazzled. A lacklustre pregame attitude saw the JTCC frisbee team on the defensive more often than previous games, with Oran Park going point for point with our efforts.

Halftime talk saw us address our strengths which an athletic defensive presence and more sideways attacking in the final third of the field.

JTCC shot out to a big lead and it stayed that way.

Assists: 

3 - Angus 3, Garang. 

2 - Diego 2, Jude

1 -  Riley, Darcy, Ben, Preston 

Touchdowns:

7- Annelise

A much needed effort in the second half will need to be carried into next week's final against Mt Carmel.

Go JT!

A few reminders regarding signing your son/daughter out of school during sport time:

  • Please phone/visit the school office to ensure your son/daughter has been signed out correctly. 
  • Older brothers/sisters cannot sign your child out of school. 

If students are not being signed out correctly, it makes it incredibly difficult for staff when they are marking the roll. Especially as students may be travelling off site, it is imperative that rolls are being accurately taken and completed.

  • Students are expected to behave appropriately and show respect to their classmates and teachers during sport.
  • Students are expected to wear the John Therry sports uniform to sport (White socks and athletic joggers).

  • Students who are injured and have a note from a parent/guardian are able to complete homework/assessments during Sport time (Sports Detention/Injury)
