MISA - Round 6/Semi Finals 10 June

Sport Result MVP Short Report

Basketball

Years 7-9 Girls

HOBR

Loss 27-16

vs TH

Natalie Fik

The MCCC Junior Girls took on Thomas Hassall in a challenging semi-final showdown. Thomas Hassall proved to be a tough opponent, with several strong shooters who consistently gained the upper hand. Despite the 16–27 loss, the girls showed great spirit and teamwork throughout. MVP was awarded to Natalie Fik for her relentless determination and defensive effort.  

Basketball

Years 7-9 Boys

RODC

 

Win 70-26

vs BAC

Christos Glinellis

It was a comfortable win against Broughton to take us into the finals. The boys played calm, confident basketball with a great movement of the ball on offense and good pressure on defence. We are looking forward to what will no doubt be a fierce contest next week against JTC who we tied against in the first round.

 

Ultimate Frisbee

7-9 Mixed

KAWR

Win 11-8

vs BAC

Lillian Jackson

Another challenging day with windy conditions proved to be the recipe for success. The team continued their good form taking a win in today’s match. The windy conditions were taken advantage of early with both teams scoring for 2 points before we took advantage in scoring against the breeze which proved to be the winning moment of the match. It has been great to see the team improve each week and hopefully we can continue the good form. 

Indoor Cricket

10-12 Girls

SULJ

Win 76-58

vs SPC

Tamia Taie The girls batted first and played very well, scoring 76 runs in their first innings. They played safely and sensibly, losing only 1 wicket in eight overs. Instead of being overly aggressive, they chose to let many of the ‘loose’ balls run through as no balls, which contributed to the scoreline moving along steadily and swiftly. In the second innings when MCCC were bowling, Saint Pat’s got off to a good start, however an excellent bowling display from Tamia Taie (as well as some sharp wicket keeping from Aisha Phillips) saw her secure 4 wickets in her over which brought the Saint Pat’s score down drastically. From here, Saint Pat’s never really recovered and our MCCC girls managed to hold on for a comfortable victory. First one of the season! Sorry Bernie.

Netball

Years 11-12 Girls

PONT

Win 38-10

vs JT

Layah Tupou 

&

Evagaline De Guzman

Today the girls secured an important, yet comfortable win against John Therry. The all played their role on the court and spent time refining skills that will be required for the upcoming finals matches. A solid effort for both Laylah and Eva D who played hard in the mid court and defensive circle despite being unwell. Looking forward to next week. Let’s come home strong! 

Hockey

Years 7-9 Boys

ELID

 

Loss 1-0

vs BAC

Oscar Necic

The boys played really well against a much more experienced BAC team who is leading the competition. Our defence repelled the opposition's barrage of short corners. Oscar was a dominant figure in the backline and organised the team ensuring no easy goals were conceded. Unfortunately, we were unable to convert our many one or one opportunities or our short corners. The whole team should be proud of their efforts and are hopeful of winning the 3rd place playoff next week.

Rugby Leage

Open Boys

CAML

Win 8-4

vs MAG

Mitchell Carney

&

Leon Teiotu

After a tough loss in their OzTag Semi Final in Term 1, the Opens Boys were keen to square the ledger and get a win over the cross town rivals, Magdalene. After a shock error off the kickoff which led to points, the boys spent plenty of time inside their opponents 20m zone, eventually coming away with points, and a neat conversion by Paul Mikaele to lead 6 - 4. In what was a very gritty game in very windy conditions, the boys started the second half with plenty of energy and went back to what worked, tough carries through the middle third of the field, bending the Magdalene defense set after set. The boys eventually turned their possession and field position into points, by taking a gift 2 point penalty goal with 5 minutes remaining. 

The boys were able to hold off a competitive Magdalene, running out winners 8 - 4. The boys will now turn their attention to the Grand Final on Tuesday 17 June against John Therry, a competitive team who we previously defeated during the regular season. 

Football

10-12 Girls

HEAS

Win 1-0

vs SPC

Charlee Yule The team delivered a great performance, showing outstanding determination despite only playing with eight players. The girls displayed incredible resilience in defence, holding St Pats out despite facing numerous shots on target. Congratulations on winning 1-0. Look forward to next week.

Football

11-12 Boys

BERB

Win 3-2

vs OPAC

Koby Walters

Despite challenging windy conditions that made ball possession difficult, the boys started the game strong, sneaking in an early goal to give us a valuable advantage. The team worked hard to defend well and moved the ball confidently, maintaining a solid structure that saw us take a 1-0 lead into halftime.

The second half presented a new challenge as we played into the wind. OPAC adjusted their game plan and were able to spread our defenders and attackers a little too easily. However, with a perfectly weighted through ball, David made an immediate impact, scoring with his first touch of the game after being subbed on. Soon after, a great breakaway run saw Koby Walters slot home his second goal of the match, extending our lead.

With a comfortable margin, the team shifted into defence mode, but unfortunately, a lapse in concentration allowed OPAC to score two quick, soft goals—one of which came from the penalty spot.

Despite the late pressure, the boys held on to secure a well-deserved win. The victory earned us a place in the finals, where we will now compete for third place. Well done to all the players on a gritty and determined performance!

Softball

10-12 Boys

HAGJ

Loss 13-1

vs MAC

Peter Spyropoulos

Matthew Thomas

Jaiden Miles

What an experience! (And that was just the bus ride to the venue) These boys were able to find a team at 12:45pm, as they did not want to forfeit. A big thank you to those boys who joined at the last minute. The energy was “crazy” and the boys were very hyped. Some great pitching by Peter & Matthew in the last innings helped to silence the Macarthur Anglican batting team. Jaiden brought his experience to the team and his reflexes as Catcher were on point, not to mention his batting. Thank you for the great experience boys. It was a pleasure to take you in Mr Hagan’s absence.
