College Sport
Another dry week allowed multiple sporting events to proceed during week 5. On Tuesday, we had round 4 of MISA, and on Monday, the Mount Carmel Diocesan Cross Country team travelled to Nowra to compete against the top runners in the Wollongong Diocese. Congratulations to our students who performed exceptionally well in the Diocesan Cross Country, earning selection to the Wollongong team for the NSWCCC Championships on June 5. In week 6, we are hosting Freeman Catholic College in round 4 of the Bill Turner Trophy teams. Good luck to Miss Heath and the girls in their bid to reach the semi-finals of the regional competition.
On Monday, May 27, Mount Carmel participated in the Diocesan Cross Country Championships held at the Wilandra Cross Country Track. The course was notably challenging with its hilly terrain, but the weather was ideal for running, contributing to a day of impressive performances. Among the outstanding results, Zoe Bruce secured second place in the 16 years female category, showcasing her exceptional endurance and speed. In the 14 years boys category, Petar Spyropolous finished a commendable fifth, while Ethan Littlewood achieved fourth place in the 16 years male category. Additionally, Daniel Lill triumphed in the 17+ male multiclass category, earning first place. These remarkable achievements highlighted the dedication and skill of Mount Carmel's athletes.

Netball Years 11-12 PONT

VS MAG Win 36-5 |
The Entire Team | The girls came onto the court focused and ready to play. They worked hard for each other and moved the ball up and down the court effortlessly. Krystal and Sienna once again shot brilliantly and rebounded with confidence. Rebecca, Liesl and Isabella. A worked effectively as a defensive unit in the opposition’s circle with perfect timing and communication. Isabella N and Taylah were once again solid in the mid court constantly offering and being available when required. An all round great team effort - good job girls. |

Basketball Years 7-9 Girls HOBR
|
VS THAC Win 26-19 |
Carla Bosco | The junior girls basketball team secured another victory this week, triumphing over Thomas Hassal with a final score of 26-19. Carla was awarded MVP for her exceptional performance in both offence and defence, contributing crucial points that upheld the team's lead throughout the game. The team plans to use the bye next week to work on their skills, teamwork and to devise a strategic plan, so that they can continue their winning streak as they head into semi-finals. |

Basketball Years 7-9 Boys RODC
|
VS THAC Loss 57-41 |
Cooper Scott | The boys put in a great effort against a tough team. As we settled into the game and began to move the ball around we showed that we could contend with the top team in the comp. Mid way through the second half we had narrowed their lead to 5 points, but unfortunately ran out of steam in the last 10 minutes. The boys should be commended on their team spirit and great sportsmanship with which they played the game. |

Indoor Cricket Years 10-12 Girls OCOB
|
VS MCCC Win 64-36 |
Alisha Philip |
The girls have had three wins from three games so far this season and were hoping to keep the streak going. Losing the toss the girls were sent into bowl first. There was some incredible bowling from Alisha Philip who got four wickets from her spell. MCCC were able to keep St Pat’s to 36 runs with an outstanding catch on the last ball by Jessica McMillan. Having to chase a total for the first time the girls were unsure of the tactics at play. However they quickly found their feet and were able to post a solid total of 64 runs with some fantastic batting from Rhianna Gascoine. Well done to the girls for another great win. |
|
Frisbee Years 7-9 Mixed MARP |
VS MAG Win 14-9 |
Lenny D'Orazio & Olivia Amador | The MISA 7-9 frisbee team had a fantastic win against Magdalene with a final score of 14-9. They showed great tenacity and composure in spite of controversy on the field resulting in admirable team coordination. |
|
Softball Years 10-12 Boys KING |
VS JTCC Loss 6-5 |
Joshua Dennis |
After leading for most of the game and dominating play, the boys were unfortunately denied a win, losing the second innings 6-5 in a close match against John Therry Catholic College. Parker Cameron had another outstanding game with some lethal pitching and a fantastic home run. The player of the match was undoubtedly Joshua Dennis, who excelled as catcher, putting his body on the line several times to prevent John Therry from stealing bases. It was a frustrating end to a dominant performance. Fingers crossed for a win next week. |
|
Rugby League U16's ABRN |
VS STP Draw 16-16 |
Olivia Lau'i |
A great result against the St Pat’s team, coming away with a draw. It was another solid game from the girls today, finishing strong and with so much more to give. Olivia was fantastic in her offensive and defensive plays. She was unstoppable and made some great breaks to help the team score and send the St Pat’s girls cowering when she had possession. Tries were awarded to Nakira, Fua and Shante x2 who never fail to give 100% effort. Next week we will be fired up during our warm up and we will bring that to the game so we can improve on our results. Well done girls! |
|
Rugby League Year 10-12 Boys HARK |
VS SBCC Win 14-12 |
Nic Lalic & Vili Mapa |
We went into the game with little expectation with lots of injuries and absences. The leftover squad in typical Mount Carmel fashion, went out onto the field and aimed up to everything thrown at them with lots of heads up plays including a one on one strip from Preston Gallant. Our other experienced players did everything they could to keep the scoreboard ticking over with Brody Taateo having a hand in all of our 3 tries. Paul Mikaele kicked a conversion from the sideline that proved the difference in a tight 14-12 win. In amongst this our MVPs Vili Mapa and Nic Lalic stood their ground and kept pushing them back all the way to the end and made strong runs to lay the platform for opportunities to score. Nic also came away with a try of his own. Well done to the team and we look forward to having more players back next week. |
|
Football Years 11-12 Boys KAWR |
VS THAC Loss 2-1 |
Connor de Lepervanche | Filled with hope, the boys went out firing against a very strong and technical side in THAC. The boys went 1-0 up within 10 minutes of the match with a very well executed strike from Cooper Harrison from outside the box. The boys lack of fitness started to show as gaps in our defensive line started to emerge. THAC equalised with a deflected shot at goal before the break. The boys kept their shape much better in the second half however a soft penalty was awarded against us in the last two minutes of the match giving THAC the lead which won them the match. Congratulations to all the boys with their efforts this week, onto next week. |
