Basketball
As you will be aware, last Friday night marked the end of the regular season rounds of basketball. It has been great to see all teams compete throughout the season and all teams improved greatly over the past 10-12 weeks of competition. Results rarely tell an accurate story of how teams play, and this week was certainly a testament to that with very few of our teams recording wins, however, all fought well and are still making improvements at this stage of the season.
Our Junior C Girls, Intermediate B Boys, Intermediate F Boys and Intermediate C Boys were the only teams to record wins this week, but there were some standout performances from the Junior E Boys who have improved greatly all season; Junior D Boys and Intermediate F Boys (team 2) who never gave up; and the Intermediate C Girls for their teamwork. It was a great end to the season for the Intermediate C Boys who recorded a solid win this week.
A big thank you to all the players who played with commitment all season, the coaches for their dedication and perseverance and the parents who helped with scoring and transporting children to games all season.
Congratulations to the Intermediate A Girls, Junior C Girls, Intermediate F Boys and Intermediate B Boys teams who have made it into the semi-finals this week! We wish them all the very best and look forward to seeing how they perform on Friday. It will be essential for all to be at training and teams are still expected to supply a scorer for semi-final matches.
SCISSA Rugby 7’s
Congratulations to all players who continued to play with high competitiveness and sportsmanship across our fixtures last night. Out of the 5 teams we had entered in the competition, 4 teams have now made it to the Division 1 semi-finals (placing in the top 4 of all their respective age groups) and will compete for 1st place next Wednesday. Congratulations to our U13 Girls, U13 Boys, U14 Boys and U16 Girls for this amazing feat. A special mention to the U13 Girls who were undefeated the entire season, with the remainder of the aforementioned teams only losing 1 game all season. Our U16 Boys just missed out on placing in the top 4, however, will have the opportunity to compete in the division 2 finals. You are invited to come along to the Sunshine Coast stadium precinct next Wednesday from 4.00pm to support all our teams.
