The following week the girls did us proud with outstanding sportsmanship and competing always with a smile. Below is a report on all teams and a huge thanks to Miss Knezevic, Miss Pett and Miss Basazza for their tireless work with the students.

The intermediate division was a difficult competition, with our girls up against many representative players from other schools. Our team worked fantastically under pressure and were able to support each other and show great teamwork. We had some great shots including some great three pointers, but the girl’s just narrowly missed out on bringing home a win in their games.

The boys showed incredible sportsmanship and an amazing level of talent! They were able to use their skills and passion for the game to finish as undefeated champions of the competition. We look forward to seeing them compete in the next tournament!

We had a long day ahead of us with four games ahead of us with short breaks in between.
St Andrews won against St Columbus 22-2
St Andrews won against Delany 40-4
Semi Finals - St Andrews won against Gilroy 33-9
Grand Final - St Andrews won against St Marks 43-23
Year 7 and 8 worked together well and despite the long day, were full of energy and enthusiastic about their sport. Although they finished undefeated, the boys still remained humble and showed great sportsmanship throughout the whole day.
This is a great achievement and I congratulate the Junior Boys team for their efforts.

The Junior Girls team had not had the opportunity to play together before we rushed off the bus to compete in our first game at 8:30am. The girls were so enthusiastic and willing to learn and demonstrated this by participating in training drills in between their four games on the day. With training and great teamwork they finished the day in fourth place with a 20-6 win against St Marks. Congratulations Junior Girls!
