All Schools Basketball
Well done on the efforts so far this season. The Senior teams are almost half-way through their season, so there are only a few games left to play.
There were some great games last Friday with our Senior B Girls recording another win. This puts them in 2nd place on the ladder and on track for finals in week 8.
The Senior B Boys played their best team game of the season and, despite a loss this week, there are positive signs for this team as they prepare for their CBSQ tournament at the end of the term. We wish them all the best in their preparations and thank the players and Mr Burdon for the hours of work they have already put into the preparation. The Senior E boys suffered their first loss of the season with an under-manned team. They will be looking to bounce back this week in their game against the top-seeded GSLC and make a push for finals as well.
The Senior C Girls had a doubleheader and, after losing their opening match, dug deep to claim their first win of the season! It was a great game, and the girls did exceptionally well. Their motivation was: trying to get a win for their coach (who has been unwell for the past two weeks). Well done girls – you have another double-header this week. The Senior D Girls have been playing well all season and needed the well-earned break last week with the bye. They will be fresh and ready to come back again this week in their 4.00pm game at Maroochydore Stadium against Suncoast.
Secondary Schools Indoor Netball
Our Years 7-12 netball season came to a close this week with 3 PLC representative teams competing in the Secondary Schools Indoor Netball Tournament on Tuesday and Wednesday. Well done to our Years 7/8, Years 9/10 and Years 11/12 girls teams for their strong efforts across the 2-day tournament. This event was a great finish to a big year of netball, and it was wonderful to have the teams wearing our new representative colours.
On Tuesday, our teams had great success and they won all their games across the day. It is a testament to how hard the players have been working to develop such strong cohesion during matches.
All teams had a fantastic last day of the tournament, with each team earning a place in the Grand Final for their divisions. The Year 7/8 team competed strongly in their final match, finishing Runners Up in their division. This team showed great skill across the tournament and will no doubt continue to succeed next year. Congratulations to the Year 9/10 and Year 11/12 teams for winning their Grand Final matches, and bringing home the championship trophies. These teams demonstrated considerable tenacity and skill against some quality competition and their victory in the final games was off the back of their strong efforts earlier in the tournament.
It has been a fantastic team effort across 2 days from all players and coaches. Thank you to Michelle Dufty, Mel Pietrala, Jayde Noble, and Caity O Keefe for their tireless efforts in preparing for this carnival.
SCISSA Touch Football Results
Our Junior touch football teams had their first round of games on Wednesday night. The Junior Girls teams stepped up to compete in a double header for the round. They lost narrowly (1 point) in their first game before building to a strong 7-4 victory in their second game. The Junior Boys will have to wait another week for their first proper match after low numbers from the opposition meant they had to forfeit.
The Intermediate Boys faced tough opposition at Matthew Flinders, and while they didn’t get the results they wanted, it was a good experience for the boys to learn from. Their commitment to the game, even when the scoreboard was against them was commendable.
The Senior Girls were down a number of players in their fixture but they rose to the challenge and competed fiercely against the St Andrews team. While the 1st half reflected the 4-1 scoreline, the girls fought back to a 2-2 draw in the second half. A fantastic effort!
SSCRU Girls Rugby Results
Our U14 Girls continue to show improvement with every game and their hard work at early morning training on Mondays is clearly paying off. While they couldn’t cross the line in the first game, they put on 2 tries in the second game. The U16 Girls competed strongly in their first match against James Nash, only going down by one conversion. They followed this up with a hard-fought victory against Good Samaritan in their second match, finishing the game 22-17.
