College Sport

Around the Grounds

A challenging week for many of our MISA grand final teams as all three finals Mount Carmel participated in ended in defeat. The games were highly competitive, with only a 2-point margin separating all three matches, including our Girls Volleyball, Boys Oztag team, and Mixed ultimate frisbee team. Despite these setbacks, we still have our Boys Volleyball team in action in week 9 against Oran Park, with a postponed match due to their unavailability in week 8. We extend our best wishes to them and hope to bring home at least one trophy this term.

In week 8, our College hosted trials for next year's Marist Basketball squad, which aims to defend our national title in Gold Coast. The team's announcement is scheduled for next week.

Shifting our focus to another exciting event, our upcoming sports assembly is scheduled for Week 9 on Friday 8 December. This assembly serves as a special occasion to express gratitude and admiration for the exceptional talents exhibited by our athletes at Mount Carmel. It provides an opportunity to recognize and applaud their unwavering dedication and outstanding performances throughout the year.

We eagerly anticipate celebrating the achievements of our MISA teams and athletes during these significant events and wish them continued success in their sporting endeavours.

VS JTCC

3rd Place Playoff

Win 94-75

The boys came into this 3rd/4th playoff keen to finish off the season with a convincing win. Electing to bowl first, the boys were on point with their line and length. 95%+ were on the pitch, this was one of the best bowling performances all season. MCCC were able to restrict the MAS total to 75 runs. MCCC had a significant total to chase and our first batting pair performed exceptionally well posting an extravagant 35 runs.

Final VS Mag

Loss 7-6

A fantastic game for the boys this week who were unlucky to take the silverware on this occasion, going down 7-6 in a nailbiter against Magdalene Catholic College. Despite some contentious referee decisions and facing back-to-back penalties that were challenging to say the least, speaks volumes about the resilience and character of the team that they were able to handle the pressure and defend against repeated sets. The efforts of Kayde Hughes and Paul Mikaele in making outstanding tags and disrupting Magdalene’s momentum on a number of occasions was impressive. Jeremiah Leota-Brown, Joshua Manson and Ashton McMillan were brilliant offensively, breaking the opposition’s line through well-executed set plays. Watching these boys improve in their skills and performance each week was an absolute delight and I couldn’t be more proud of the camaraderie shown throughout the term. A special note of appreciation for Dimitri Sheather’s contributions off the field, from collecting equipment, to setting up the playing field and providing support, underscores the importance of teamwork both on and off the pitch. Congratulations to all boys on a well-fought season and I look forward to coaching you all at some stage again in 2024.

 VS JTCC

3rd Place Playoff

Win 10-1

A great way to finish a hard season with a big win for third place against John Therry. The girls came out pumped up to help the school in their quest to hold onto the MISA championship trophy with every position earning vital points. The match started slow but got into the swing of things with 4 quick tries to no reply from John Therry. John Therry worked their way into the game and were dominating in the late stages of the first half. A half time talk with a few minor changes saw the girls put away 6 unanswered tires in the second half to secure a podium finish. Well done girls on a great season.

VS JTCC

Final

Loss 11-7

Incredible performance from the team. John Therry were out and out favourites, but Mount Carmel’s valiant effort kept them honest. If a couple of moments went our way it could have been a different story, but nonetheless it has been a fantastic experience coaching such a great group of students.

Our MVP’s go to Isabella Ashcroft and Isaac Ramos, our two captains. Isabella played out of her skin; she was everywhere! All term Isabella has led the team in her effort, chasing down the disc from end to end, whistle to whistle. Isaac Ramos controlled the play, showing calm on the disc and vision in attack. Another notable performance was Brody Taateo in defence; nothing got past him.  I could laud the contributions of many more players, but I have probably gone long enough. Thanks for the term team.

VS THAC

3rd Place Payoff

Loss 30-14

The boys took on a much-improved side in THAC which dominated field position for the majority of the match, keeping our boys very busy defensively. Some great work from Hayden Jones in defence helped keep the scores very even in the second half however we failed to create many scoring opportunities to challenge our opposition. Congratulations to all the boys involved for giving their best efforts in what was for many of them their first ever AFL experience. Onto next year!

 VS THAC

Final

Loss 2-1

 

Filled with anticipation, the senior girls' volleyball team eagerly approached the grand finals. The initial triumph in the first game showcased their strength, but facing the formidable Thomas Hassall team proved challenging as they matched our every move. Despite losing the second game, the tie-breaker unfolded as a nail-biting spectacle, with scores at 6-6, 11-11, and 14-14 at various points. Ultimately, our team fought valiantly but fell short, losing 16-14. Despite the outcome, the girls demonstrated exceptional skills and teamwork. Congratulations to the girls on a fantastic term of MISA volleyball - well done!
