Year 7 – 12 Sport

Rugby

Wednesday night saw both our teams hit it out with Matthew Flinders. Our U13 played in a tight contest where the score line was constantly moving between the two teams throughout the game. The boys went down by a single try and should be proud of their efforts and continued improvement throughout the season. The U15 boys continued their streak of an undefeated season so far, defeating Flinders by two points in a very tight contest. The boys continued to build on their offensive efforts and should be proud of rising to the occasion to get the job done. I look forward to our two fixtures next week against Victory College on Monday and Sienna College on Wednesday.

Monday Night Netball

Congratulations to all PLC Netball teams on their strong performances to finish out the rounds of the regular season.

We have an astounding 7 teams who have made the top 4 in their divisions and will compete in semi-finals next week.

A special mention goes to our Senior A Girls who had to play back-to-back games on Monday. Unfortunately, the results didn’t go their way to get into finals, but they should be extremely proud of their efforts in a very strong division. Thanks to all our Year 12s for their commitment across the season and their contributions to PLC Netball across their schooling.

We would love to get plenty of support out for our players next Monday, particularly in PLC colours. Please see the game schedule below:

Vicki Wilson Netball

 Congratulations to all players who represented PLC at the recent Vicki Wilson Cup and Shield Championships on Friday the 17th May at the Fisherman’s Road Netball Courts. All our teams competed admirably in this tough competition and it was clear their hard work over the school season has paid off. A special mention needs to go to the Senior Girls Team who made the Championship Division Grand Final. They went down in a nail biter in the ultimate match, this is an exceptional result for these players. Thank you to all players and staff who committed their time to prepare for this event.

Trish Buckley Volleyball

On Friday night, our two Year 9 Volleyball teams competed in the penultimate round of Trish Buckley Volleyball. The Year 9 Girls were sitting lower on the table to start the night and were expecting to be finished up early. They didn’t get the memo about this as they went on a winning spree, claiming victory in their next 2 games. This put them into 3rd spot in their pool and thus earning them a spot in the playoffs that night. This meant they had to play 4 games in the same night! Well done to the girls and Coach Katie for their awesome efforts. Our Year 9 Boys had one game for the night and started out strong in the first set. While they didn’t walk away with the win, they were showing plenty of improvement in key areas. Thank you to players and coaches Mr Rob Belchamber and Katie Graves for their fantastic efforts over the last 3 Friday nights.
