Term 4 Sport

It's been a busy few weeks for sport at St. Josephs! Below are a few achievements our students have had throughout the second half of the term.

Golf

Archie Heffernan, Harry McDonald and Lachlan Walters all qualified for Regional Golf. Lachlan was away on holiday and unable to play unfortunately, but we are confident he will play some more good golf for St. Joseph's next year.

Archie and Harry played exceptional golf all day, seeing them both finish with good scores. Well done boys. Especially well done and congratulations to Archie Heffernan who qualified for States, this coming Friday which will be played at the Gisborne Golf Club. Well done and good luck Archie!

Basketball

Earlier this term our mixed basketball team travelled to Werribee for regional basketball. The team played very well together all day, and narrowly missed out on qualifying for the next level. Well done to our mixed team.

Our Year 6 boys and girls basketball teams had the amazing opportunity to play state competition at MSAC in Melbourne on 14th and 15th November. The level of play was of a very high standard. Our students played some excellent basketball and represented the school well. Well done to both Year 6 teams.

Last week our Year 4 basketball teams both played off in the State finals held at Dandenong basketball stadium, and once again displayed excellent skills as well as some sportsmanship to be proud of. Both teams made it to the finals, with our boys bowing out in the elimination final against a quality basketball team. The girls team proved hard to stop, and went through the day undefeated to be State champions, congratulations girls, an amazing effort. Well done to Layla Monk on coaching the girl’s team. Well done to our Year 4 basketball teams.

Cricket

On Tuesday our girls Year 6 cricket team travelled via bus with the OLHC boys Year 6 team to Ballarat for Regional cricket. The girls played a total of four games, winning three and losing only one by 7 runs. The team the girls lost to was the eventual overall winner on the day. A superb effort by all involved. Well done girls.
