10 - 12 Boys Rugby League Mr Strojny |
Won 52 - 0 vs BAC |
The boys played well in a physical game against a strong broughton team. The good period of the game was when captain Ben Mostyn had a kick for goal directly in front and missed by a mile. ( he should not take kicks in future) They all supported each other in attack and defending their line. The JTCC boys eventually ran out winners and demonstrated great teamwork and flashes of individual brilliance. |

U16s Girl Rugby League DIV 1 Mr Tran |
Lost 7 - 4 vs Mag A |
The girls were involved in a physical game against a strong Magdalene team. The good periods of the game were when they moved forward and tackled in numbers, as well as supporting each other in attack. Nevaeh was excellent when carrying the ball forward as well as making strong defensive decisions. |

U16s Girl Rugby League DIV 2 Mr Tran |
Lost 5 - 3 vs Mag B |
It was a very slow start to the game with multiple girls making their rugby league debut against a strong St Benedicts team. Maisie Dadd was a defensive leader in the middle dominating multiple tackles and Billie Hannan was impressive in both attack and defence. The girls will benefit from using this experience for future games. |
Billie Hannan |

11/12 Boys Soccer Mr Cook |
Won 2 - 1 vs BAC |
An energised group of young men took on the might of Broughton. JTCC possessed more skilful players and played accordingly. Great build up play and leadership by Preston Teran in the midfield allowed JTCC to keep control of the middle of the park. Cohan Timmer and Alessandro Bayon created multiple opportunities and Liam Wicks was quick to pounce on a through ball and put JTCC up early in the half. More great combination play allowed multiple shots on goal with Garang hitting the bar twice, with Jake, Liam, Thierry all missing sitters to extend our lead. We soon capitalised and led 2 - 0, before letting Broughton back in the game with a dubious goal. Strong defensive efforts by Riley Tonna, Elijah Soares, and Angus O’Dwyer kept Broughton at bay, but only because of three great 1v1 saves by Clayton Baguley in goals allowed JTCC to steal the win. Great game gents. |

10 - 12 Girls Soccer Ms Moon |
Lost 5 - 0 vs MAS |
Another unfortunate loss for our JT senior girls soccer team today against Macarthur Anglican. The girls fought hard in the first half keeping the score card to only 1-0 but we seemed to have lost our momentum in the second half where we conceded another 4 goals. Our MVP was Isabella Drake who played a pivotal role in our defence |

10 - 12 Girls Indoor Cricket Mr Chapman |
Lost 104 - 93 vs BAC |
John Therry took on BAC and we hit our highest score of the season. Lily and Bridget took great catches in the field and we showed great teamwork and sportsmanship throughout the game. There were a couple of tough calls against us, however, the girls fought really hard and took the game all the way to the final few balls. They can be proud of their efforts today. |

7 - 9 Boys Hockey Ms Troy |
Won 4 - 0 vs OPAC |
What a great day for a hockey game! The boys came out of the gate fast, scoring in the first 2mins. OPAC put up a good fight, but our forwards were too good and with our defense doing well to keep the majority of play out of our end. Our attack took advantage, pushing OPAC into their own third for most of the game. Josh P 2 goals, Josh C and Travis 1 goal each. Shout out to our SuperCoach, Kiara and referee, Keigan. An all-round team effort today! MVP: With an amazing save in goals - Kade Nightingale |
Kade Nightingale |

7 - 9 Mixed Frisbee Mr Bodeker |
Won 30 - 4 vs MAS |
Another comprehensive victory from our 7-9 Mixed Frisbee. JT started the game strong and after 5 minutes had already scored 5 touchdowns. With a focus on short, sharp passing the boys were able to move the frisbee up field and find the ladies who were wide open in the end zone. Nic and Nate were very solid in the midfield and combined well all game. With a tough match up next week, JT are primed for a big contest. |

10 - 12 Boys Softball Mr Hatton |
Won 6 - 5 vs MCCC |
A great win playing 1 man short. Some tremendous batting against a pitcher throwing 100 Km/h +. Bat on ball got us base hits and enough home while some good fielding held them to 5.. |
Dante Foweraker |
|
11/12 Girls Netball Ms Kelleher |
Lost 20 - 13 vs SPC |
A challenging game between JT and St Pats. Sadly we lost by 7 points but the girls did not give up and gave their all throughout all four quarters. By Tara R, student and team member. |

7 - 9 Boys Basketball Mr Jefferys |
Won 58-33 vs OPAC |
The boys basketball team secured a convincing victory, defeating OPAC with a final score of 58-33. The game showcased impressive offensive prowess but highlighted some defensive lapses. Unfortunately, the boys relaxed on defence in the second half which allowed OPAC to score 20 points in the second half after keeping them to 13 at the half. |

7 - 9 Girls Basketball Mr Winter |
Lost 44-16 vs SPC |
Regardless of the score this week, The girls have never looked better in terms of cohesion and teamwork. Some fancy assists to our lead scorers Sophie Regan and Sienna Larner were impressive. The girls have one more chance to show off their progress next week in the quarter finals. |
Sienna Larner |

10 - 12 Boys Rugby League Mr McGrath |
Won 30 -10 vs SBCC |
A dominant performance from JT this week, with the scoreline not showing a true reflection of the game. A lot of missed conversions kept the score down but the boys showed how competitive they can be against the other schools in the competition. A few missed opportunities on the edge also kept the score down for Bennies. Jordan Truckle was a complete stand out, showing brilliance in attack and defence in two positions. A big improvement from round 1 - well done boys |

U16s Girl Rugby League DIV 1 Mr Strojny |
Lost 32 - 20 vs SPC |
The girls came in strong today, with a focus on building confidence and strong contact. Despite being short handed, Sienna (MVP) was fierce and determined to take on their best, inspiring the girls to attack with confidence. Sienna stole the show, making multiple line breaks and demonstrating tireless determination. After a back and forth exchange, Pats eventually got ahead with an 8-5 win. A huge effort from the girls, taking on this challenge head on. |

U16s Girl Rugby League DIV 2 Mr Strojny |
Won 20 - 0 vs THAC |
The girls had an easy trial game today as THAC had to forfeit due to low numbers. |

11/12 Boys Soccer Mr Williamson |
Won 4-0 vs MCCC |
A slow start but a strong second half performance with all goals coming after the break. Some excellent finishing from Darcy Wilson, Cohan Timmer, Diego Martin and Thierry Ngorora. Solid defence again from Angus O’Dwyer and Clayton Baguley in goal. Looking forward to a playoff with Magdalene next week. |
Darcy Wilson |

10 - 12 Girls Soccer Ms Moon |
Lost 3-0 vs MCCC |
The senior girls put on a fantastic performance today against a very tough Mount Carmel side. Following a significant defeat earlier this term at Diocesan, expectations were tempered going into this week's game. Despite this our girls managed to limit the score to just 3, thanks to our strong and resilient defence. Moreover, there were some promising offensive opportunities this week, signalling the ongoing improvement with each round. Special mention goes to our captain and week 6 MVP, Jorja, who stepped into the goalkeeper position for Darcie and delivered a series of impressive saves, showcasing her athleticism despite her limited experience in the role. |

10 - 12 Girls Indoor Cricket Mr Geribo |
Won 70 - 59 vs MAG |
A fantastic performance saw our girls have their first win of the term against OPAC. The girls won the toss and bowled, with captain Laura leading from the front taking two great catches and two stumpings. Oran Park were restricted to 59 due to some accurate bowling and good fielding. Our batting performance matched our efforts with the ball with Maddi and Elyse (20) and Bridget and Ashlee (22) getting us off to a great start, setting up our innings and our first win of the season. Well done girls! |
Laura Augustine |

7 - 9 Boys Hockey Mr Holmes |
won 1-0 vs MAS |
With a man down it was a tight game. Josh Carlin dominated in the middle and help to keep the score a well fought nil-nil at the end of the half. Joshua Pike decided it would be best for him to enter the game despite a slight strain and sat in defence helping to keep the clean sheet. The excitement got the better of him as he moved to a more offensive role to help set up the winning goal scored by Travis Campbell ensuring the game finished 1-0 score in a lovely build. Kade did phenomenally in goals to ensure a clean sheet. Macarthur Anglican played an excellent game of hockey and should be commended for their efforts. We look forward to meeting them again in the final. |

7 - 9 Mixed Frisbee Mr Bodeker |
Won 10-5 vs MCCC |
A tough and highly competitive game which really tested our Frisbee Skills. John Therry started really strong and went into halftime with a 8-0 lead thanks to some outstanding team work and energy from Nick and Nate. Early touchdowns to Ebony, Ava, Alice and Matilda set the tone for our best half Of the season. Mt Carmel came out in the second half with 2 early touchdowns, however JT were able to compose themselves with a late touchdown to Ava to calm the nerves and hold on to our lead. Special mention to our MVP for the week William Shearer, Will was everywhere on the field and made a full length dive to stop MCCC from scoring a touchdown late in the second half. Well done team. |
William Shearer |

10 - 12 Boys Softball Mr Hatton |
Lost 8 - 5 vs SBCC |
Great start but some easy outs for us let St Benedict’s into the game. They capitalised well and got a good lead after 1 innings. With some great base running from Adam Steele JT levelled at 5 all but a good hit saw the opposition get 3 home and take the win. |
Adam Steele |

11/12 Girls Netball Ms Kelleher |
Won 29 - 11 vs MAG |
Some students returning from injury proved for an excellent game today, and our first win! Some excellent play and great connections down the court. Chloe filled in again as centre and proved a star with many intercepts and great feeds. Great win girls! |
