CCC Open Girls Basketball Bronze Medallists!

Our Open Boys and Girls Basketball teams attended the CCC Basketball Championships in Penrith from the 14th - 16th June. Both teams went in under injury and illness clouds, requiring our students to rally hard. The boys were competitive but struggled against some of the bigger Basketball schools. The girls were challenged the whole way with only a bench of 2 players. They finished on top of their pool but were defeated in the cross over final against Mount Saint Josephs from Milperra. This means our girls received the Bronze Medal for placing third! Well done to all our students and a massive thank you to the coaches, Mr Steven Verbruggen, Mr Matthew Hiddlestone and Mr Bryce Sully who accompanied the students on the two night sport trip and coached them enthusiastically.

More success from our 13’s boys who competed in the Regional finals of the NSW Country Rugby League (CRL) Cup in Port Macquarie on Thursday 17 June. The boys started out against Macksville High school, defeating them 30-6. In the final, we played St Joseph’s from Port Macquarie and came out winners 18 - 8. Our boys now attend the CRL Northern State Final at the Cex Stadium on 28th July representing the North Coast Region. Congratulations to all the boys and coaches, Mr Kris Kent and Mr Michael Stubbs, on being crowned North Coast Region Champions!

Open Boys Football Team - Inter-Diocesan Champions!

Our Open Boys Football team took on McCarthy College as the Armidale Diocese Champions at Leisure Park on Tuesday 22 June. The College from Tamworth were a tough team to overcome but our boys did in extra time to win 2-1. They progress to the quarter finals where a Sydney team (TBD) will travel to us to determine who progresses to the semi finals in Sydney in September. Well done to all our boys and their dedicated coaches, Mr Rod Abbott and Mr Mark Coster.
