College Sport
What a week for Mount Carmel! A lot of sports activities took place over the past week, and there's much more on the horizon. Our Girls Bill Turner Trophy team had some success, and our competitors performed well at the NSWCCC Cross Country event. The rain stayed away, allowing Round 4 of MISA to occur with some very solid results. Our Year's Boys 10-12 Cricket team and 10-12 Boys Rugby League team remains undefeated. We look forward to more success as we approach the finals.
NSWCCC Cross Country
On Wednesday, June 5 Mount Carmel had three students compete as part of the Diocesan Of Wollongong Cross Country team. We had very impressive results with both Ethan Littlewood and Daniel Lill making it to NSW All Schools later this year. We were also very unlucky with both Petar Spyropolous and Zoe Bruce finishing 11th only one place outside of the cut to represent the NSWCCC team. Well done to these amazing runners and we look forward to hearing how they go at their upcoming events.
Bill Turner Trophy
On Monday, June 2, the Mount Carmel Bill Turner Trophy team took on the strong Freeman Catholic College team. The girls were fighting for a place in the Sydney South-West area final after winning their first four rounds. They started strong but went down 1-0 in the first half. The girls fought back to equalise, only to fall behind again. With just minutes to go, they managed to score and bring the game to 2-2, taking it to extra time. Outstanding defensive work kept the game level, leading to a penalty shootout. The girls held their nerve and scored all five penalties, while Freeman missed one, sending our team through to the area final. Well done! We are very proud of such an amazing achievement and wish them all the best in the final.

Hockey 7-9 Boys ELID

VS SBCC Win 1-0 |
Diego Martinez | Our team was dominant in a 1-0 win against St. Benedict's. Although, we only had 11 players the team worked as a unit and were aggressive in defence with relentless pressing and forcing the opposition into mistakes. The boy's were rewarded when Diego made a great run down the wing to assist Brayden Croke to score a well deserved goal. The team has improved throughout the season and has already secured their place in the Division 1 Grand Final. Congratulations to every member of the team. |

Indoor Cricket Years 10-12 Girls OCOB

VS MAS Win 60-50 |
Jorja Lewis |
The MCCC girls came into today’s matchup keen to keep the winning streak going and make it five from five wins. The opponent was an extremely skilled Macarthur Anglican team who were on equal points on the the top of the ladder. The girls were sent into bat first and were confronted with a barrage of exceptional bowling from the MAS side and were kept to a total of 60 runs. There was some excellent batting from Jorja Lewis and Mikaela Simpson. It would take some outstanding bowling and fielding from MCCC to keep the opponent to under 60 runs. Alisha Philip opened the attack and got some important quick wickets to put the pressure on MAS immediately. There was some fantastic fielding by Jorja Lewis close to the wicket and some great bowling by each member of the team. MCCC were able to keep MAS to 50 runs and secured another win. Congratulation to the girls on another great win. |

Frisbee Years 7-9 Mixed MARP |
VS JTCC Loss 10-5 |
A first loss for our mixed frisbee team up against a well drilled John Therry side. Our team started slow, letting in 8 points in the first half. Missing a few key players the Mount Carmel side managed to crawl back winning the second half but unable to close the significant gap. Well done to John Therry. | |

Softball Years 10-12 Boys KING |
VS BAC Loss 6-1 |
This week, the team faced many challenges with numerous players absent, necessitating replacements. Unfortunately, they were simply outmatched and unable to compete with Broughton Anglican College, who showcased some very strong hitters throughout the game. Harry Peeters, stepping in as catcher, is to be commended on his performance, contributing to several run outs at first base. Although the team has started the competition with three losses, they are continuously learning and improving each. | |

Rugby League U16's ABRN |
VS MAG Loss 11-3 |
Olivia Lau’i | Magdalene proved to be too good for our girls today. They ran through, around and straight past our girls. Our defence was non existent, so it is back to the basics of tackling, holding our line and communication. A loss can be a positive as it can highlight our weakness so we can improve. Next week we will come back with a new game plan. |

Rugby League Year 10-12 Boys HARK |
VS THAC Win 26-0 |
Barukh Semaia & Liam Searle |
We had a slow start to the game but once we settled in we started to score tries. The boys all worked hard for each other and began to play to the conditions in attack. While it was good to see us scoring tries it was more important that we were able to keep the opposition to nil. MVPs for today were Barukh Semaia for his efforts in keeping the attack direct and Liam Searle for tireless defence in the middle to go with some strong runs and quick play the balls. |

Football Years 11-12 Boys KAWR |
VS JTCC Loss 4-0 |
Abdul Khan |
The boys played with great intent to not concede early this week. The boys kept a very skilled side on JT scoreless at the halftime interval however JT broke the deadlock shortly after halftime and they boys went on committing numbers forward to chase the game which ultimately led to more goals conceded. Congratulations to all the boys involved. Onto next week. |

Football Years 10-12 Girls HEAS |
VS JTCC Win 3-0 |
Lara Underwood |
The girls had a great 3-0 win today with only 9 players against John Terry. The girls displayed great composure in front of goals and a strong defence to not concede with only 9 players. |
