Rugby:

This week saw our U13’s play St Teresa’s at Maroochydore, while the opposition U15 team unfortunately forfeited, leaving our 15’s with a bye. St Teresa’s showed a dominate performance in the first half against PLC, scoring 4 tries. The boys fought back in the second half, scoring 3 unanswered tries, and closing the gap to 5 points. Well done on the efforts of the boys for showing excellent grit and playing some exceptional football. Thanks again to the support of both staff and parents at the game.

Monday Night Netball:

Well done to all our PLC Netball teams who are progressing well after the mid semester break.  Currently we have 7 teams that have the potential to make the final top 4 teams with two more games to go. With highly competitive pools, the ladder is very close and the top spots are very much up for grabs. Thank you to all our committed players, coaches and parents for their time and energy given to our netball program.

 Please come and support our teams at their games this week
