College Sport
Around the Grounds
Welcome to Week 3 of Sport. It has been a very wet start to the term, with several sporting events impacted by the weather. The Diocesan Tennis Championships were postponed, and MISA Round 2 was affected due to poor field conditions across the Campbelltown area. Despite these challenges, we continue to move forward, with events rescheduled to their backup dates to ensure students still have these sporting opportunities.
This term is a busy one, with several key events and trials coming up. Students are strongly encouraged to keep an eye on Compass for any Expressions of Interest to ensure they don’t miss out on selections.
11 August; MISA Golf
14 August; Diocesan Tennis Championships
22 August; Diocesan Athletics Championships
3 September; Diocesan Volleyball Championships
17 September; Boys Cricket Championships
18 September; Girls Cricket Championships

AFL Years 10-12 Boys TACR |
Loss 21-15 vs MAG |
Whole Team | The Boys started off their season against a strong Magdalene side. With an inexperienced side they struggled in key moments to convert their kicks into majors. Lots to learn |
|
Netball 7-8 Girls PONT |
Win 26-7 vs THAC |
Lose Feiloakhitohi |
What a way to start the season! The girls all meshed well together and worked as a unit to get the ball up and down the court. There was plenty of effort as the girls defended every pass and chased every ball. Lose had a great game with consistent effort and execution in the shooting circle. I’m looking forward to seeing what this team can do this season - great start girls! |
|
Netball 9-10 Girls BELT |
Loss 30-10 vs THAC |
Emily Cooper |
It was a tough day on the court today. The girls came out strong in the first quarter, keeping the score to a margin of 1. Our defensive end was strong, getting many intercepts and working well to keep the ball out of the circle. Emily had a fantastic game, providing support up and down the whole court as our centre. I'm looking forward to seeing what this team can do this season, especially as they gel more as a team! |

|
Football 7-9 Girls HEAS |
Win 7-0 vs THAC |
Selena Mifsud | Our team secured a dominant 7-0 victory, showcasing relentless attacking plays that kept the game largely in the opponent's half, requiring minimal defensive efforts. Selena was the standout player with an incredible five-goal performance, demonstrating exceptional footwork and control in possession, while Lyla and Rosemary each added a goal to cap off the win. It was an outstanding team effort, and we look forward to carrying this momentum into next week’s match. |

Football 9-10 Boys BERB |
Draw vs THAC |
Dylan Jacobs |
A disappointing result given the domination the boys displayed during the match, but nonetheless a lot of positives to progress in future weeks. Despite the 0-0 draw and a slow start, the MCCC boys came out second half demonstrating plenty of skill and teamwork. Fingers crossed our next match we can capitalise on the opportunities in and around the box. Head up gents, onto next week. |
|
Football 7-8 Boys SULJ |
Loss 2-1 vs THAC |
Ronan Cosgrove |
The boys went down 2-1 in what was a tightly contested affair. MCCC were extremely dominant for the first 10 minutes but were unable to capitalise on any of the early chances that were created. At halftime the score was 0-0 with all still to play for. Unfortunately, two defensive lapses at the back allowed THAC to go 2-0 up in the first 10 minutes of the second half. MCCC went all out attacking for the last ten minutes of the match but were not really able to trouble the THAC goalkeeper. In the last two minutes, Lachlan Scrine cut in from the left-hand side and got taken down in the box, which resulted in an MCCC penalty. Maxim Szilagyi smashed the ball home which was virtually the last kick of the game. Some excellent individual performances from Ryan Stanmore, Kristo Keri and especially Ronan Cosgrove who excelled in the LWB position with some great offensive and defensive displays. |

Netball Years 7-8 Girls PONT |
Win 30-8 vs JTCC |
Isabella Barrett |
The girls put on an impressive display of netball. There was solid defense throughout the entire court, our shooters were on fire, rebounds were obtained and passes hit the target. A really promising start to the season. Issy was awarded our MVP for chasing every “messy” pass, always being an attacking option and pressuring every ball - well done. Bring on Round 3! |
|
Netball Years 9-10 Girls BELT |
Draw 6-6 vs JTCC |
Maliya Pupuke-Hona |
What a game! The girls played a fantastic defensive game today, taking many intercepts and keeping the shooters out of the circle. There were a few costly turnovers that kept the score low, however the girls never gave up and we were able to finish the game with a draw. Special shout out to Maliya who was our MVP for her defense in the circle and maintaining pressure for every pass. |
|
Indoor Cricket 10-12 Boys OCOB |
Loss 61-36 vs MAS |
Brenden Dias |
The boys were keen to get onto the pitch after a bye last week. Losing the toss MAS sent MCCC into bat. There was some solid batting from Jivesh and Brayden but some wickets at crucial moments reduced our score to 36 runs. MAS batted very well to get a total of 61 runs and the win. A sound performance for the first game, let’s hope we can improve on this result next week. |
