JTCC SPORT UPDATE - Week 3
Week 3 saw the threat of rain potentially impacting on our MISA sports again, but with a small rain shower at recess, the call was made for MISA to go ahead and modified year 7 & 8 sport was able to run. In the last few weeks we’ve had a number of students participating in Diocesan and NSWCCC selection events. Congratulations to a number of our students who represented JTCC with pride and integrity at these events, and those that were successful in selection to the next level. These students are outlined below.
A few general reminders:
- Students who missed out on MISA or DIO teams , there are many future opportunities to represent JTCC, keep an eye out on the Compass Newsfeed.
- Any students that would like to request to change groups for 9/10 REC - you need to see Mrs. Roberts at her desk. You must do this prior to Tuesday lunch time.
- 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.

10-12 BOYS LEAGUE D1 |
vs. MAC 26 - 4 WIN |
It was great to get back on the field for our first hit out of the season. We learnt early that plenty of drop ball is hard to recover from, but the boys managed to do it. A few JT debutants this year, with Jayden Hall crossing the try line in his first game for the school. We still have some room for improvement but some great signs for our first round. Well done! MVP: Jayden Hall |

10-12 GIRLS IND Cricket |
vs. MAS 114-67 |
A consistent performance across the board this week saw us comfortably beat MacArthur Anglican. A special mention to Zarli Lakeman and Maddie Skinner who hit the back net multiple times, compiling 35 towards our total. Grace Augustine bowled well, with economical figures of 1/3 off her two overs. We're looking forward to taking on Mount Carmel next week. MVP: Zarli Lakeman |

11-12 GIRLS NETBALL |
vs. MAG 15-20 LOSS |
The girls played a great game bringing the score back from a 6 goal deficit to even at half time through the shooting power of Kaitlin Kellett and Samara Varga and turnovers courtesy of Sokowa Parker and Ella Drayton. In the third quarter the girls pushed to try and gain a lead over Magdalene but in the last quarter Magdalene were too strong coming away with the win. MVP: Ella Drayton |

11-12 BOYS SOCCER |
vs. THAC Win - THAC forfeit |
Friendly match - A cloudy day at Eschol Park provided the conditions for an opening season game. The opposition had only 9 players and were punished early by Kynan Sparkes who opened the scoring. Substitute Lachlan Jennart scored on his first touch after a great cross from Ricardo Gomes. A clear foul on Ricardo provided Lachlan with an easy penalty, which he missed but scored with the follow up. Fourth goal of the game was scored by Luke Isakka after a cheeky turn to beat two players in the box and round the keeper for a tap in. The score finished 5-0 with Xavier registering his first goal for the season. JT played well but never really got out of third gear. MVP Mitchell Mackenzie |

10-12 GIRLS SOCCER |
VS BAC 5-1 LOSS |
A much improved effort from the girls this week. A few injuries have crept into our side and despite only playing with 9 players this week the girls were competitive against a strong Broughton side. With many of the girls playing their first competitive game of soccer, there were some promising signs for the rest of the season. Chelsea, Tess, Annalise and Alyssa were very solid and kept us in the game for most of the game. However, it is hard to go past Tenaya for MVP as she was able to capitilise on a through ball to score our first goal. Well done Girls. MVP: Tenaya Ferguson |

7-9 BOYS BASKETBALL |
vs. THAC 68 - 26 WIN |
Excellent first game with 9 players scoring. Defensive pressure resulted in 22 steals, providing extra opportunities to score. Great spirit and intensity. Thanks to the supporters who attended. MVP: Cohan Timmer |

7-9 GIRLS BASKETBALL |
vs. SBCC 38- 32 WIN |
The girls played really well today, their teamwork and passing was on full display. We started slowly with some poor defence as St Benedict’s blew us out 10-0 early into the game however, we lifted our defence and started to shoot well which got us into the game. We managed to level the game at 16-16. In the second half we were able to play some outstanding defence with some great shooting and we were able to stay in front for the rest of the game winning 38-32. All of the girls played really well and it was hard to pick out an individual for the MVP but Annelise Hall played very well on both sides of the floor. MVP: Annelise Hall |

7-9 BOYS HOCKEY |
vs. MAS 2 - 0 WIN |
After a solid first week the boys went into the second game with confidence. After a close start to the game John Therry started to dominate the game. Some solid skills displayed by Nick and Travis helped the team push forward and gain the advantage putting two goals past their keeper. Their goal keeper kept them in the game putting in several good saves keeping the final scoreline at 2-0. Well done to the boys. MVP: Nicholas Augustine |

NWN |
7-9 MIXED FRISBEE |
vs. OPAC 16 - 19 Loss |
Close game where we held the lead for much of the time. Poor execution and a couple of wrong decisions, as well as smart play from the opposition led to unnecessary turnovers and points against us. We showed significant improvement from last weeks game with the potential to improve further. MVP Sienna Marelic |
Southern Country Rugby League trials (Boys)
On Tuesday 3rd May, the students that were selected to represent the Diocese in rugby league travelled to Wagga Wagga for selection in the Southern Country team. We arrived late in the afternoon to train on McDonalds Park oval where NRL matches have been held this year. It was a great experience, with the u15’s taking on the u18’s in an opposed session. This was a good opportunity for team bonding and for the players to get to know each other and the way in which they play. On Wednesday, the boys woke up early for some bacon and eggs which unfortunately, was much healthier than their 1L ice cream they had for desert the night before.
We travelled to the ground, with the u15’s taking the field first. Cooper Tonna, Jerome Gargoles and Chaise Attard led from the front and set the tone early with their physicality and high energy which was infectious across the team.
The u18’s came up against a talented opposition, with many of our boys playing against older students. The John Therry student mostly filled the back line with the likes of Dechlan Gunning, Zac Morheb, Riley Oitmann and Noah McKenzie. As usual, the boys put in a great performance and most of them are fortunate enough to have another crack at it next year.
Congratulations to Jerome Gargoles (u15’s), Chaise Attard (u15’s) and Riley Oitmann (Opens) for being selected in the Southern Country team with a chance of being selected in the NSW CCC team.
As usual, every student represented John Therry with pride and integrity on and off the field. These boys should be commended for their manners, respect and efforts throughout the trip - it didn’t go unnoticed. Well done.
Mr. McGrath
Congratulations to Alexis Paulo who, along with Adam Steele, Kruz Takiari and Cooper Wells all traveled to Wagga Wagga to attend NSWCCC AFL U15 individual selection trials. All represented JTCC extremely well against some solid opposition, with the boys having to compete against an extremely dominant Riverina cohort. Alexis Paulo was our sole JTCC student to be successfully selected in the 22 woman NSWCCC squad to compete at NSW All Schools Carnival in Albury at the end of May.
JTCC had 7 students who were selected to attend the Wollongong Diocese Open Football Selections on Monday 9th May at Kembla Grange. All students represented the school with integrity and a high level of skill, experience and quality was on display today across both boys and girls trials. It was a high quality and a very tough selection trial for all involved. JTCC had 3 students successfully selected in the Open Boys Football team to represent Wollongong at the NSWCCC selection trials to be held across Wednesday 25th & Thursday 26th May @ Valentine Park. Congratulations to Jayden Cook, Kynan Sparkes and Xavier Martin.
Georgia Bastock and Annelise Hall represented JTCC at the NSWCCC 15’s individual netball selection trials. Both girls represented JT against an extremely competitive field. Annelise was successfully selected in the 15’s NSWCCC Netball Team to compete at NSW All Schools Carnival at Homebush on the 20th May. Good luck Annelise!
