In their debut match of the MISA round against John Terry Catholic College, the junior girls volleyball team faced initial nerves as they stepped onto the court for the first time as a cohesive unit. These jitters led to some early mistakes in the opening set. However, as the game progressed, the team found their rhythm and confidence, with MJ showcasing a remarkable winning streak of serves and Hanna proving to be an indispensable asset on the court. Despite their efforts, the team unfortunately fell short, losing all three games. Nevertheless, with a newfound understanding of their strengths and areas for improvement, they eagerly anticipate the second round to showcase their enhanced skills and team cohesion.

Samantha Stewart

The girls came into this week’s match with enthusiasm and a keen attitude. The girls won the toss and elected to bowl first and kept a strong St Pat’s team to under 100 runs, which the girls should be extremely proud of. Some outstanding bowling from Samantha Stewart saw Mt Carmel take some scalps early on on the innings.  The girls then went in to bat looking to chase the total of 88 runs. There were some standout batting performances, again from Samantha Stewart and special mention must go to Julianne Morell who hit the only boundary of the innings. Well done!.

With an uneasy start to the season, the girls hope to get a better result next week.

After a slow start to the game we were only up 15-14 at half time. Once the boys started to work better together, run the floor and put more pressure through our defence we were able to push the scoreline out to 43-26 at full time. To keep the opposition to only 12 points in the second half was a great way to start the MISA competition.

Great performance against THAC for the first round of the competition. The girls started off really strongly by putting up some solid points on the scoreboard. They were able to break out of their own half with lots of confidence and they walked off at half time with a few points in it. A lot of hunger and determination occurred in the second half, hustling for the ball at times which did impact conceding some points due to a high foul count. Nonetheless, they took the feedback on at half time and finished with a big buffer to seal the victory 26-22.

The boys all took the field keen and eager to play despite the rain and tough conditions. Our first innings was a challenging one as we were up against an experienced and skilled pitcher. When it was time to field the boys ‘found their feet’ and started to mesh well as a team. There were some impressive hits and we had a much better innings getting 4 home. The rain become too much and the home plate was too slippery. After a discussion with both coaches and the umpire it was decided to abandon the game to avoid any injuries. I’m looking forward to seeing the boys in action again next week now that they have had their first week at MISA Softball.
