Welcome back to sport for Term 4!

We have an exciting term ahead, with multiple events happening in the first few weeks. On Wednesday, the Junior Boys Mount Carmel Cricket team competed in Wollongong, which made for a fantastic day. We also wrapped up the MISA trials, and all teams have now been selected to represent the college, as we aim to secure the MISA Championship for the 3rd consecutive year.

Looking ahead, we have several upcoming events. Diocesan Basketball takes place on Monday, and the Diocesan AFL Championships have been rescheduled for the 28th of October. Good luck to all teams involved! We’re excited to see how they perform in the coming weeks.

MISA Competitions for Term 4:

Diocesan Cricket Championships

The Mount Carmel Catholic College junior boys' cricket team travelled to Fairy Meadow to compete in the Super 8’s Cricket Championships. The weather was perfect for cricket, with some cloud cover and the sun emerging later in the day.The boys started strong, delivering a solid performance against John Therry and winning by 2 runs, thanks to disciplined bowling that restricted them to 59 for 4. We successfully chased the total with two balls to spare.The day became more challenging with three consecutive losses to Edmund Rice, Magdalene, and Corpus Christi. We struggled with both bat and ball, making it difficult to string together two solid innings. However, our bowlers managed to take wickets throughout the day, and the team secured 3rd place in their pool, aided by a strong wicket-to-run ratio. This result gave Mount Carmel the chance to play for 5th place against Holy Spirit Catholic College, known for their sporting excellence. The boys rose to the challenge, comfortably winning the game with a total of 79 runs. Strong bowling performances by Jevish and Ronon played a key role in the day's success, securing an improved result compared to 2023.
