Traditionally we send three teams but unfortunately due to a change in date we were unable to send our junior team as it clashed with the Year 7 camp. Overall, the level of competition and sportsmanship displayed at the event were excellent. The girls thoroughly enjoyed themselves and learnt a lot about the game of touch in the process.

Both teams had very successful days with the senior team finishing in second place overall after only losing one game all day. Unfortunately, the girls went down in a very close game to eventual champions Holy Spirit 1-0. The girls should be extremely proud of the way they played and the team work they displayed throughout the day.

The 15 years team were also extremely successful and finished in third place overall. The girls started off very well and recorded a number of strong wins against some very skilled teams. Unfortunately a couple of lapses in concentration at key points throughout games saw them lose and draw a couple of games that they probably could have won. On a positive note, this did not deter the girls and they went on to finish the day on a high defeating St Benedict’s 5-0 in their final game.

All girls should be very proud of their efforts and were by far the strongest performing Macarthur school in the competition.

Special mention should go to Sarah P (Year 9), Amy S (Year 11) and Julia P (Year 11) who gained selection in the Wollongong Diocesan Representative team to contest the NSWCCC Championships in Penrith.

I would like to extend a big thank you to Miss Buckler who offered to assist on the day at very short notice and also to our amazing group of supporting parents who braved tough conditions to support all the girls throughout the day.
