Dear Parents and Guardians,
It always seems impossible until it’s done. Nelson Mandela.
It can be a hard slog at times in the sporting world and it’s easy to forget that a week is indeed a long time in sport. Last week the Football Club had a tough week against Barker in the 1sts and 2nds, this week we played the much-fancied Trinity team away. TGS 2 has been a bit of a sporting graveyard for us over the last few years as we have struggled to adjust to their synthetic pitches. This year, however, both 1sts and 2nds came away with fantastic wins to firmly kickstart our seasons. The 1sts and 2nds footballers have showed great resilience in the last two seasons and their ability to focus and work on a common goal after a loss is to be commended. We had some fantastic results all the way through the football program on Saturday and the whole program should be commended for their continued hard work.
Special mention this week to the 2nds Tennis and 2nds Volleyball for their great wins, the 6ths, 5ths and 4ths Rugby for getting it done on Newington main, the 10Bs Football for remaining undefeated, and lastly to the 16Bs Rugby… If you didn’t see it, you wouldn’t believe it.
The AFL 1st XVIII enjoyed their first fixture played on their new home ground, Dave Phillips South and will celebrate their Season Launch event at SWANS HQ this evening.
We look forward to celebrating the opening events for Rugby this Friday and Football later in the month.
This week sees the CAS competitions merge for Rugby, Football, Tennis and Volleyball as we all take on St Aloysius away. It should be a fantastic round of sport, and we look forward to the challenge.
