VS Mag

Loss 8-1

Jason Dennis

With dwindling numbers due to illness, injury and the all important HSC, the boys performed with improved skills and camaraderie. Our fielding efforts tremendously improved with a number of outstanding catches, however, our base running and batting is still something that needs developing and I’m sure the boys will pick up the finer details as the season progresses. It is fantastic to see the team show Mount Carmel spirit week in, week out.

Loss 36-21

Chelsea Baltazar

The game started at a furious pace, with the opposition scoring from a few fast breaks. We did not box out our opposition under the ring; they got some easy points. At the end of the first half, we were down 25 to 2, with Allana scoring our only points. The second half was a different game. We hassled the ball, scoring several turnovers. Chelsea, aka Tiger, was a defensive threat that forced several errors from the opposition. While Isabella, Beth, Ysabella, and Veronique refused to back down against their bigger opposition. Sophie was aggressive and picked up three fouls but put the opposition on the back foot. Eva, Lovina, and Chelsea combined teamwork to score lots of points. Queen of the rebounds, Gabriella found her grove and dominated under the key. We won the second half from 19 to 11. Look out next time we play this team, as we have found our swagger and are on track to win.

Mr O’Connell

VS MAG

Win 76-81

Rhianna Gascoine

The girls set a strong total of 81 runs batting first. Keeping Magdalene to low runs for the first four overs saw a confident Mount Carmel team prepared for a solid win. Magdalene put in their strongest batting pair who scored 38 runs in their two overs. The game came down to the final over, Rhianna had the pressure on her but managed to limit Magdalene to 81 runs with one ball remaining. Magdalene went for a run to get the win but miscommunicated and Mount Carmel was able to get a run out which saw a 76-81 win. Well done to the girls and Rhianna for performing under pressure.

Krystal Borello

When John Therry and Mount Carmel meet on the court, a battle ensues. Tensions were high as we started the game against our local rivals. We clashed point for point during the first quarter, but quickly gained momentum and controlled the final three. MVP is awarded to Krystal Borello this week for her demonstration of expert footwork and skillful goals. The nerves are building as we prepare for our toughest game of the season against St Pats next week, watch this space!

Hockey

7-9 Boys

Mr Rees

VS SBCC Loss 2-0

Jivesh Puri

The boys put on a solid defensive display this week and managed to park the bus for most of the match frustrating the skilled opposition that featured a number of proper hockey players. Jivesh was a revelation in goals, comfortably defending his line for most of the game while a couple of new members to the team looked threatening down the right with some nice one-two combinations. This group of boys are asking lots of technical questions about hockey skills this year and some have been practising outside of school so hopefully some wins are on the horizon.

John Sghaby 

The battle of battles. In a match of two halves, the boys put on an incredible first half performance which matched the powerhouse of John Therry Catholic College finishing with a half time score of 12-10. MCCC chased down each line break against a very speedy fullback however ultimately were unlucky with the brute power and strength of JTCC to go over the try line. The boys put in a valiant effort with big hit ups and a couple of line breaks of our own. Overall a great effort from the boys and plenty of positives to take out of the match. On to the next.

Jane Mikaele

With our new jerseys, MCCC stepped out onto the field today ready to take on JT.CC The team were prepared and confident as they put some hard hits on to the JTCC side. Jane Mikaele was our MVP and really showed everyone how to tackle with the right technique and no fear. Every week Maria puts her body on the line and gives it everything she has. Lauryna and Erica used their force to drive forward over JTCC’s try line and Tina showed more confidence working with Jane, to bring anyone down who came into her vicinity. Olivia also displayed confidence in her tackles. A great game and result for week two. The girls are working well as a team and with more experience every week, they will be a force to be reckoned with. A big thankyou to Jerome, Brody and Preston, our assistant coaches, for warming the girls up and teaching them some of the fundamentals of tackling, passing and fitness.

Loss 15-6

Baxter Bastoli

Good effort from the team today with 4 out and up against a big squad, both in height and numbers. Windy conditions meant the game would come down to who could score against the wind. We missed a couple of opportunities and got caught out on a couple of fantastic counter-attacks from Magdalene. Great effort from Baxter, leading the team at the back, and playing the whole game. We are looking to improve on our coordination in attack, and man-to-man marking in defence. Great effort from Chelsea who played injured and stayed competitive right up until the end of the game.

VS SPT

Loss

Great effort from both Year 9 and Year 10. Each team demonstrated some great and compelling arguments. Year 9 came through with the win which was well done to them! They worked hard to collaborate rebuttals that saw them the stronger team against their component school, St Patrick’s College. Year 10 unfortunately unlucky this week, but it was a very close call as described by the adjudicator. They too worked hard on collaboration within their team. Both teams deserve to be congratulated.
