Rugby:

Last night marked our last round of regular fixtures for both our girls’ teams. Our U14 Gold continue to show excellent improvement, growing in confidence each week – well done on these teams for a fantastic season! Our U14 Blue team, after last night’s fixtures have cemented a spot in second place for the competition, a fantastic effort! This has now given them the opportunity to compete in the division 1 semi-final, with a chance of making it to the grand final next week at Maroochydore Rugby Union Club. You are invited to come along and support the girls with their semi-final starting at 4:50pm next Wednesday night.

Basketball:

Our Senior Boys and Girls 2nd teams played in their division semi finals on Friday night. Our Senior Girls fought hard but went down in a tough game. Congratulations to our Senior Boys for winning their Final and securing their spot in the Grand Final. Their Grand Final will be held at USC Stadium at 5pm and we encourage our community to come along and cheer on our players.

In other news, our Intermediate Boys Representative team competed at the Junior Secondary CBSQ Wildcard last week. This tournament was a trial against other schools around Queensland to secure a spot in the main competition in October. Our boys went in as a mostly underage team and competed well across the two days. They came away with a 2-2 record and the experience will be invaluable for them in preparation for next year.

Touch Football Grand Finals

Well done to both our Intermediate A and Junior A Boys Touch Football teams for their performances in some tight Grand Finals matches.  The Junior A Boys were the first game up with an absolute cracker of a match, with the game winning try being scored in the last seconds of the game. Congratulations to the Junior Boys for being Grand Final Champions for 2024. Our Intermediate A Boys played out a similar game with both teams trading tries all the way to the end of the match. With a tied score line, the game had to go to a 4 person drop off and unfortunately we couldn’t gain back an early try scored off a quick start. Despite the loss, it has been a great season for the Intermediate Boys and they should be proud of their efforts. Thank you to all our touch coaches and players for another successful season.
