10-12 Boys Softball |
Mr Bodeker |
6-5 Win |
We went into our first softball game prepared and ready to play. The first inning was tight and Magdalene got 4 runs, whilst John Therry scored a maximum of 6 runs. In the second innings the game was even closer with Magdalene hitting 1 more run but John Therry unable to reply. Thankfully the first innings set up our performance and the game finished 6-5 in our favour. Well done boys! MVP: Damien Thomas |
|
10-12 Girls Indoor Cricket |
Mr Geribo |
100-92 Win |
We started out with a wicket on the very first ball before taking our feet off the pedal. However we did again turn things around and finished with an improved bowling session. When in bat the team did very well and managed to hang on for a close win. MVP: Tara Hodson |
|
Soccer Boys 11-12 |
Mr Williamson |
2-2 Draw |
Squandered a 2-0 advantage to escape with a draw. Did well with only 10 players and would have held on if not for an injury to Harrison Smith. Dubious late penalty allowed them to share the points. A good first effort. MVP: Baxter Sparkes |
|
10-12 Soccer Girls |
Mr Holmes |
8-0 Loss |
The girls worked hard in their new team with many learning a new sport. Olivia Sloan and Emily Smidt worked hard and led by example. Great effort. MVP: Tahlia Woolley |
|
Netball Girls 11-12 |
Mrs Pellegrino |
42-10 Loss |
A slow start to the season with Magdalene dominating the court throughout. The 4th quarter saw John Therry step it up, putting more pressure on in defence. Training sessions to focus on game tactics and play are required. MVP: Jade Watt. |
|
Mixed Frisbee 7-9 |
Mr Wakeling |
21-4 Win |
A fantastic start to the game gave us a good lead. However loss in concentration saw us lead by 2 points at half time. A much better defensive effort in the second half saw us run away with some great team efforts. MVP: Sarah Ward |
|
7-9 Basketball Boys |
Mr Conway |
43-22 Win |
The first game of any season can bring with it a sense of nerves and anticipation that can become overwhelming. The carefully crafted plans and systems developed in preseason can become lost as the teams enter the fray of battle. Thankfully this was not the case for the mighty men of JT as they systematically tore apart the fodder that Magdalene offered up to sacrifice. The new Mercy rule came into effect with an agreed final score of 43 - 23 not truely showcasing the domination of the JT team. All players had equal time and while the second half had an All -Star game feel as the boys had fun and set each other up for shots they were always respectful to their opposition. MVP: Adrian Narvaris |
|
7-9 Basketball Girls |
Miss Randall |
34-11 Win |
First game of the season and it is evident that there is great potential in this years group. Overall there was good defensive pressure by the girls; however continued training is needed in offence. MVP: Allanda Lumagui and Laysharna Tusiupu |
|
7-9 Hockey Boys |
Mr Webb |
1-0 Win |
A good win by the boys hockey team going up 1 goal to nil. Thomas Augustine was dominant throughout the middle setting the tone for the game. Showed great spirit to hold onto their lead. MVP: Thomas Augustine and Jordan Fayad |
|
Opens Rugby League |
Mr Tran + Mr McGrath |
24-16 Win |
Extremely tough performance from all 11 players. With 10 players unavailable a number of students stepped up and worked for one another to grind out a gritty win. MVP: Zachary West. |
SPORT NEWS TERM 2- WEEK 2
A great start to MISA term 2 with John Therry picking up 7 out of a possible 10 victories. Coaches are all keen to improve on week one’s performances and are organising coaching sessions to continue to improve results.
Our junior sports 7-10 also began their first round today with Year 7 partaking in cricket at Thomas Acres, Year 8 completing school sport (supported by external coaches), Year 9 rotating through internal and external sports and Year 10 completing a sport of their choice. More information can be found at the sport page regarding sport throughout the term.
On a negative note a number of students today were also in detention unfortunately due to permissions notes not being returned for Year 10 sport. Hopefully this is rectified for next week.
BREAKING NEWS
BILL TURNER BOYS:
Well done to the boys Bill Turner team who defeated St Gregs (Mr Cook's team) in a penalty shootout, Xavier Martin scoring our final penalty with Kayd Sumners making the save. Good luck in the next round, the team will now play the winner of Liverpool boys and John Edmundson.
Coach: Mr Dermot Holmes (awaiting full match report)
BILL TURNER GIRLS:
We arrived at Lynwood ready to compete against what we knew would be a strong Freeman side. The game kicked off and we were under pressure immediately, relying on Montanna Taff to thwart Freeman's attempts on goal, often with the assistance of goalkeeper Zarlie Lakeman's cool touch under pressure. We managed to get into the game and create some chances of our own through Ella Fisher, which often stemmed from Shane, Allanda or Sophie's pressure in the middle of the park. Neither side could capitalise on first half opportunities as we headed into halftime at 0-0.
Freeman came out firing in the second half after a shot from the edge of the area rebounded off a save to the feet of Freeman's striker. Disappointingly, our heads dropped having conceded and Freeman were able to capitalise, scoring their second soon after. We were able to regroup and get ourselves back in the match but it wasn't enough as Freeman scored their third goal late as we looked to push forward and make an impact on the scoreboard. Well done to all the girls on their efforts but Freeman were the deserved winners on the day, progressing through to the third round of the knockout competition.
Report: Mr Brenton Geribo
Further, 3 of our Boys representing the CCC at Wagga made the team for the next level. This means they will represent Southern Country at the next game in just over two weeks. This gives the boys an opportunity to make the NSW team.
- Callum Van Diesen
- Emmanneul Fatialofa
- Ray Redmond
Finally- Good luck to Nathan Doggett who will represent NSW at the All School Swimming tournament, held at Homebush. Nathan will compete in the 100m freestyle.
DIOCESE SPORT
A busy start to term two for Diocese sport with three male and female soccer teams representing the school in Week 1. Whilst many students also backed up their soccer performance by running at the Diocese Cross Country in Nowra.
Overall we had some very positive results at all tournaments.
Diocese Soccer- Soccer highlights include our senior boys, and intermediate teams, who both made the grand final unfortunately going down to Edmund Rice in narrow defeats. Patrick Picot, Baxter Sparks and Olivia Sloan were selected in the Opens Diocese soccer teams and will represent the Diocese at Valentine Sports Park later in the term. We wish our students the best of luck!
Both the boys and girls teams were a credit to the school in terms of behaviour and spirit shown. Thank you to all coaches for taking teams.
Diocese Cross Country- Another early start 6:00am for the trip down to Nowra to compete at the cross country. Again our behaviour and spirit was excellent throughout the day and we had some strong performances verses tough competition.
The following students will go on to represent the Diocese at the next level CCC. Well done and best of luck.
Bridget Shearer - 6th
Paul Salmond- 3rd
Olivia Southby- 4th
