Senior Girls Diocesan Report

The Senior Girls Basketball team attended the Diocesan Basketball competition held at Beaton Park, Wollongong. It was an early start and the girls were very excited, nervous and pumped for their first game. The girls lost their first game against Holy Spirit. With the nerves out of the way they were victorious in their next games against St Joseph’s, St John’s and John Terry. In the finals we played St Patrick’s College which has been our MISA rival team for the past few years. It was a close game but our girls were the better team on the day. Although tired, they communicated, backed one another, and never gave up to come away with the win and third place overall in the competition. Congratulations to all the girls and the student helpers who learnt the art of scoring on the job. We had a wonderful day and the sleep on the way back home was well deserved.
