Around the Grounds
In the latest edition of our school sports newsletter, we are recapping an eventful week that was marked by significant games in MISA, as well as a trophy win in MISA Golf. Our 9/10 MISA girls' netball team concluded the season in second place, while our 7/9 girls' soccer team secured first place with an impressive victory throughout the week. We are also sending our best wishes to our two Senior AFL teams, the 7-8 Boys' football team and the 9/10 boys' football team as they are heading into their semi-finals during week 7.
As we look ahead, we have an exciting week in Week 8 with a Staff vs Year 12 competition scheduled. This event aims to bid farewell to the Year 12 cohort with some 'friendly' sport for ultimate bragging rights. We anticipate this will be a fantastic community-building occasion, and all students are encouraged to come and spectate.
Baxter Bastoli - Year 9
On Wednesday, August 16, the MISA Golf Championships were held at Camden Lakeside Golf Course. Three Mount Carmel students represented the College in an attempt to compete against some of the best golfers from schools across the Macarthur region. We are thrilled to announce that Baxter Bastoli was crowned the Junior MISA Golf Plate Champion. He had an exceptional day on the course, surpassing his fellow competitors and securing the trophy. We are incredibly proud of his achievement.

Bouncing back from a series of challenging losses, the team rallied with excellent batting and fielding, specifically addressing the simple errors that had previously cost us.

Karthik Kumar |
The boys came on strong, led by Jake Darr who won the toss and chose to bat first. Each pair delivered a fantastic batting performance, hitting a plethora of beautiful boundaries. The total score of 74 runs stood out, especially considering the strong bowling effort from BAC. The boys entered the field with enthusiasm to prove themselves and showcased a remarkable display of fielding, including some extraordinary catches. Jake Darr's two incredible catches stood out, and Abdul Khan and Karthik Kumar demonstrated their prowess with their two-over bowling performances. Congratulations to the boys for securing a significant victory. As the semi-finals approach, let's hope for another strong result in the upcoming week. |

Beth Martin | The girls exhibited a well-rounded game today against JT. Abundant skills and quality finishing were on display, leading to an impressive 6-1 victory, firmly positioning MCCC at the pinnacle of the table. Congratulations, girls! Let's eagerly anticipate the finals. |
|
Soccer 7-8 Boys Mr King Finished 4th overall |
VS JTCC Win 4-3 |
Isaiah Nakasenh |
A pivotal game for the boys this week, as a win was imperative to secure a spot in the finals. The boys delivered an exceptional performance, particularly in the first half against JT. They appeared poised to dominate, showcasing excellent possession and an impressive hat-trick from Isaiah Nakasenh. After establishing a commanding 3-0 lead, the boys eased off the pressure, leading to three quick goals from the opposition, levelling the score. Despite numerous opportunities for Vincent Brancati and Keeden Robinson to score, it wasn't until the final minute that the deadlock was finally broken. Isaiah Nakasenh's fourth goal sealed the victory. A determined and gutsy win for the boys today—well done! |
|
Soccer 9-10 Boys Mr Berkley Finished 3rd overall |
VS JTCC Loss 2-1 |
David Abraham |
A game that demanded victory to secure the top spot was on the line. The team seemed to be on track for that outcome after leading 1-0 at halftime with a relatively dominant performance. However, in the second half, JT's team adopted an aggressive high-press strategy, displaying a great deal of determination to shift the momentum. This posed challenges for MCCC in terms of clearing their lines, and throughout the entire half, we struggled to maintain possession. We managed only a few chances through counter-attack plays. Eventually, JT managed to score twice, one of which was contentiously offside, and the other resulted from a simple defensive breakdown. Despite this outcome, MCCC still managed to finish near the top of the table, earning a spot in the semi-finals next week. |

AFL 10-12 Girls Mrs Abra Finihsed 3rd Overall |
VS MAS Loss 16-10 |
Timara Semaia |
Coming off a bye is always challenging when we've been working well and in good form. Unfortunately, today our team appeared rather flat, and the advantage of playing at home was not in our favour. We arrived late at the venue, and the girls had to step off the bus and onto the field. Additionally, many of our girls were still grappling with illness, so we truly needed an energy boost for the game against MAC. Credit goes to MAC for maintaining consistent defence and applying relentless pressure on our girls. MCCC faced difficulties with our kicks, and it turned out to be one of those games that offer valuable lessons for learning and moving forward. Congratulations to Timara Semaia, our highest scorer and MVP of the game. Looking ahead, we are set to face MAC once again in the semi-finals next week, with the chance to meet THAC in the final. Embracing the role of underdogs, we will come out swinging from the gates. The girls are well aware of what it takes to win, so MAC better be prepared for next week! |
