SCS Conference 4 Representative Sport Report Weeks 6 and 7

Week 6:

Touch Football:

Week 6, saw Mary MacKillop Catholic College go up against Freeman Catholic College. Our Juniors who continue to grow from strength to strength achieved a 3-3 draw in tough conditions. Unfortunately, our Intermediates who continue to try their hardest did not get the result that they were looking for but need to be applauded on showing up each week undeterred by previous results. Our Seniors under the watchful eyes of Mr Scott “Seibold” O’Brien have won two weeks in a row, beating Freeman 3 tries to 2 … Rumour has it that Manly is looking for a new coach, are you available Mr O’Brien?
