JTCC SPORT UPDATE - Week 5
There were ominous clouds brewing all day, but we managed to go ahead with only a short shower of rain just before the end of the day. MISA round 2 went ahead for sports scheduled indoors, with mixed results again for our teams. Overall positive feedback from the coaches, with improvements shown by all teams since last week. Remember, students who missed out on MISA or , there are many future opportunities to represent JTCC, keep an eye out on the Sport Bulletin Board in the A-block corridor and on the Compass Newsfeed.
The behaviour and participation from the majority was great, with everyone embracing the directive for this year to ‘be like Barty’. A reminder that consent for all sporting events must be given via the Parent Portal on Compass. Please ring the school if you have issues logging in or accessing Events.

Today the match was a close game, with St. Pats eventually ran away with the win. It was an improvement since last week and the girls are even more determined to win next week. We had some excellent batting partnerships with Ella and Maddi (36), Mia and Laura (38) and Ava and Elyse (33) all contributing heavily. With more accurate bowling, we will win next week. A special mention to Kyra who took a spectacular one-handed catch off her own bowling. MVP: Maddison Burke (23 runs and 2/-5) |
