Around the Grounds
Welcome to Week 7 of Sport
With the improved weather, there has been plenty of sporting action for MCCC. The final week of Term 3 MISA sport will see the 7–8 Girls Netball team competing in the Grand Final on Tuesday afternoon. The 9–10 Girls Netball team will contest the 3rd place playoff, as will the 10–12 Boys AFL team. For the remaining MISA teams, results will be decided on a first-past-the-post basis due to the weather disruptions earlier in the term.
The Diocesan Athletics Championships were held on Friday, 26 August, at the Campbelltown Athletics Track under rainy and gloomy conditions. However, the weather did not dampen the spirits of our athletes, who competed with determination and showcased their strong competitive drive throughout the day.
Congratulations to the following athletes who will represent MCCC at NSWCCC Athletics Championship on Monday 15 September (Week 9).

Softball 10-12 Girls HOBR |
Win 9-4 vs SBCC |
Lauren Lo | The MISA Softball Senior Girls team took on St Benedict’s Catholic College this week and came away with an impressive 9-4 victory. The girls played incredibly, with every player showing strong batting and fielding skills that truly showcased their talent. Their efforts even earned multiple compliments from the umpire, which was fantastic to hear. This week’s MVP went to Lauren Lo for an outstanding one-handed catch followed by a quick tag that saw two opponents out! |

AFL 10-12 Girls ABRN |
Win 22-12 vs JTCC |
Makeliah Langi | This was our first game of the season due to the wet weather so the girls were keen to get out on the field and get their boots dusted. Makeilah was amazing from the start and was relentless in defence and attack. Tahlia and Miyah were also standouts and kept the pressure on the John Terry team that helped MCCC take the victory this week. Great game girls. Let’s hope for more sunshine our way next week when we meet our next rival |
|
AFL 10-12 Boys TACR |
Win 59-12 vs BAC |
Samson Brcic Zak Leighton & Lenny D'orazio |
The AFL boys showcased outstanding skill and determination in their recent clash against BAC, coming away with an impressive 59–12 victory. From the outset, the team demonstrated excellent linking play, moving the ball cleanly from defence to attack with precision and confidence. Brilliant marks across the ground set the tone for a dominant performance, while relentless teamwork ensured every player contributed to the result. The boys’ grit and effort, both in contest and in defence, kept BAC under constant pressure and limited their scoring opportunities. |

Netball 7-8 Girls PONT |
Loss 29-3 vs MAG |
Ella Persson Shyvonne Bulamu |
The girls were up against an experienced and structured Magdalene side. Despite being down on the scoreboard the girls gave it their all and challenged every pass and came forward for the ball. Ella and Shyvonne were a power house down the defence end getting rebounds, intercepts and crucial tips on the ball. A game that the girls learnt a lot from that will benefit them in their next challenge against St Pats. Proud of the girls! |
|
Netball 9-10 Gilrs BELT |
Loss 30-7 vs MAG |
Sherilyn Ghimire | Round five against Magdalene was a tough game yet the team played with amazing spirit and determination. They never gave up and bounced back each quarter with great teamwork, especially in the defence and shooting circle. Proud to say Sherlyn is the MVP as she showcased great shooting in the circle. Well done girls for an awesome portrayal of resilience and effort!! |
|
Rugby League U15's CAML |
Win 46-6 vs THAC |
Kobe Hutchinson Caleb Matamua Mike Mikaele |
After another wet week the boys were itching to get back on the field this week and redeem themselves after a disappointing second half against Magdalene. All 18 boys didn’t disappoint this week and were outstanding in their dominant victory over THAC. With some very impressive carries from our 2 bookends, Caleb & Mike, Kobe and Braxton were able to take advantage and put a number of players away for long range runaway tries. The team was very disciplined this week, completing at 100% in the first half and conceding zero penalties - a major improvement from our last game. The boys are already looking forward to next week as they come up against a fierce opponent in JTCC. |
|
Football 7-9 Girls HEAS |
Draw 5-5 vs JTCC |
Charlie Sinclair | The match against JT ended in an exciting 5-5 draw, with both teams displaying plenty of attacking flair. Selena was outstanding up front, showing impressive skill and shot execution. At the other end, Samantha produced a series of brilliant saves in goal, ensuring her side held on for the thrilling result. Look forward to next week |
|
Football 7-8 Boys SULJ |
Loss 3-0 Vs JTCC |
Liam Tax | The boys struggled with their performance this week. The very wet and bog-like conditions from the recent rain made it challenging for all players, especially with ball control and overall flow of the game. Unfortunately, individual errors cost MCCC. JTCC were clinical and pounced on the Mount Carmel errors, punishing us each time a defensive error was made. There were some decent individual performances, but unfortunately the overall team performance this week lacked a cutting edge and we struggled with the pace and skill of the JTCC boys. |
|
Football 9-10 Boys BERB |
Win 2-0 vs JTCC |
Vincent Brancati | A much better performance from the team given the calibre of players. It’s the first game we have scored in, and it was even better because of the way that we did so. Honestly, it was like a different roster of players showed up to play. Everyone played their role extremely well and managed to exploit key areas of the opposition to dominate the game. It’s a shame we won’t have any more games to try and catch-up on points. Good effort to get the points over JT. |
|
Indoor Cricket 10-12 Boys OCOB
|
Loss 90-8 vs BAC |
The Whole Team | The boys needed a win to solidify their position in the semi finals. The BAC team batted well and posted a solid total of 90 runs. MCCC batted well but unfortunately were unable to get the elusive win. Congratulations to the boys for a solid season. Let’s regroup and regather for an even stronger championship run next year. |
