Term 1 Volleyball report

2022 started extremely well for our volleyball players despite the disruptions of COVID. We had quite a few students trialling for NSWCCC and 7 students (5 boys and 2 girls) made the team of 19. We received a letter from Robert Rush, Director of Sport at CSNSW congratulating the school on a great achievement. He is sure that this is a record for one school to have 7 out of 19 players make the CCC team. Well done!!

Our Junior did just as well. The boys did not lose one game and in the final we played our arch enemy John Therry, who held the junior cup for the last 3 years. MCCC put a stop to that in a very well fought come from behind win in the final. With the sets even on one all, they were up 22-15 and we came back to beat them 25-23. What a great win, even with our setter out with illness.

The girls started off the MISA season with a couple losses, however after much determination and motivation to succeed, the girls got their first win against Thomas Hassall Anglican College and followed through with another win against Macarthur Anglican School. This resulted in the girls finishing in 4th place in their final match of the term. Well done girls!

All of this doesn’t just happen. These students are there at 7:30am every Tuesday and some other days to train. A Big thank you to Stefanie Valastro, Midreen Asuit, Bree Jones and Susan Turnbull for helping out in the mornings and coaching.

The Volleyball at MCCC is just getting stronger and stronger and I am sure we’ll have our names on the winners cups for a long time to come.
