Indoor Cricket Years 10-12 Boys OCOB |
vs MAS Loss 120-23 |
Owen Webb |
The boys came into the match without some strong year 12 players who were unfortunately absent due to trial exams. There was some quick recruiting happening pre game but the team was able to field 7 players for the match. The boys won the toss and elected to bat. There was some fast paced bowling from MAS which made it hard to score many runs. Owen Webb was able to break through and score some boundaries to get some runs on the board. After a difficult batting innings MCCC went into bowl and were able to contain MAS to 120 runs. A tough loss but next week should see a resurgence in our performance. |

AFL Years 10-12 Boys MARP |
vs MAG Win 53-16 |
Rydan Chom | Phenomenal performance from all the boys this week. We controlled the game right around the park. Jerome had their attack in his pocket, Monty and Josh dominated the ruck, Zak and Brody played the flank perfectly, but the stand out of the day was Rydan Chom. He caught everything we could kick to him and scored more goals than we could count. Absolutely brilliant. The boys had a lot of fun out there and didn’t shy away from a bit of biff. Preston got in their heads, and copped a couple of late shots because of it. Mount Carmel didn’t back down though, with Mateo, Seirasa, and Mitchell keeping Magdalene in line. The sound of Mitchell’s footsteps scared a Magdalene player so much that he kicked an own goal from 30 metres out. Overall a fantastic performance, thanks boys. |

AFL Years 10-12 Girls ABRN |
vs STP Loss 54-21 |
Liesl Hopoate |
A tough game for our girls today but with Gemma and Bella in the mids putting pressure on the opposition, we were able to put some points on the board. Liesl’s experience with rugby league was invaluable and she was our main point scorer of the game. My forwards were aggressive and my backs didn’t give up. Improvement with our kicking and catching will be our game plan for next week. Great work girls. |

Rugby League U15's Boys HARK |
VS MAG Loss 22-6 |
Ashton McMillan & Hunter Burton |
After a start to forget where the opposition scored two tries in 3 minutes to put us on the back foot, with some defensive position changes we fought hard to steady the ship and had our chances but we could not put the polish on the end of our sets. With a few bounces going against us we were not able to get on the board and unfortunately on the back of giving a seven tackle set we were scored on again. We came out in the second half and defended better as a team and while attacking the line we put in a great attacking kick but couldn’t capitalise and after a dropped ball the opposition ran away for a 100m try. We did not drop out heads and once again kept the pressure on to the final whistle. The effort finally paid off and we had Caleb put his head through the line and get the final try of the match. We have training next Tuesday and I look forward to being able to work with the team to make further improvements. |

Netball Years 7-8 Girls PONT |
vs JTCC Win 11-3 |
Maliya Pupke-Hona |
All of the girls put together an impressive team performance. Every third of the court was strong, skilful and consistent. Our defensive end was unstoppable with Maliya and Eva pressuring every single pass that came near them. Ella did not stop in the centre court always offering and reoffering as well as feeding into the shooters with ease. Lose and Penny worked brilliantly as a shooting pair getting rebounds and shooting at a high percentage. Emma, Sherlyn and Annalise were a great asset in the centre third and Georgia and Avah did not let a ball pass them in defence. Well done girls. Looking forward to watching you grow as a team again next week. |

Netball Years 9-10 Girls BELT |
vs JTCC Loss 13-6 |
Isabella Nakasenh |
Another unfortunate loss this week, however there was a vast improvement in the girls’ game against John Therry. We were able to maintain possession for most of the game, with many intercepts being taken in every third of the court. The final result reflects the sheer grit and determination of all the girls in how close the score was compared to last week. Our MVP this week is Isabella Nakasenh, a true team |

Charlee Yule & Oliviya Carr |
Great performance by the girls to win 6-2 against Magdalene. There was great skill and attacking plays displayed by all players but congratulations to Charlee for coming away with 3 goals. Additionally, Oliviya displayed great defensive efforts throughout the whole game to keep scoring opportunities to a minimum. Looking forward to next week! |

Football Years 7-8 Boys KING |
Vs MAG Loss 5-3 |
Izral Marmont | A tough first game for the boys after having a bye in round 1. The boys came out strong and went ahead early but conceded shortly after. It was a tough day in defence with the pace of Magdalene causing big issues for our defence. We managed to take the lead 3 times but mistakes at the back cost the boys going down 3-5. |

Football Years 9-10 Boys BERB |
vs MAG Win 3-2 |
Vincent Brancati | What a game! The boys came out fired up after not capitalising on our performance last week. There was such a high level of energy and intensity and you could immediately tell the boys were hungry for a win. Despite going down 1-0 to what some could only describe as a strange and elusive goal, a 1-1 scoreline was the halftime result after a stunning shot from Baxter Bastoli outside the box. The second half started much like the first, and with persistence and grit the team had a well worked move through the middle of the park after pressing high and winning the ball. Sebastian Ratajczak converted well with a placed shot at the bottom right corner of the goal. However, with about 2 mins left of the match, we gave away a silly free kick near the box and coupled with poor defending left the goal wide open and the ball to float into the back of the net. I honestly thought the game was done and dusted. If it's one thing I learned today, it's never to write these boys off, because they had some fire in their bellies and did whatever they could to use the remaining time to get a goal, and they did. After Vincent Brancati received a well placed through ball into the wide areas, many players made excellent forward runs into the box and in the end it was Chad Locke who managed to get a header onto the ball to win the match in the dying moments. Certainly a well-deserved win, but I sincerely hope this kind of result continues with less drama in the scoring department. Well done boys, onto next week ? |
