Ryde Primary Interschool Sport Football Initiative

On Wednesday 10 August, 17 students from Year 8 to Year 10 represented the College at the Ryde Primary Interschool Sport Football Initiative at Morrison Bay.

There were six Sydney Catholic Primary Schools with both boys and girls competing. MSCW students assisted by refereeing, timekeeping and managing the grounds for the primary school students to play on. Cate Davis, Maddison Tannouse, Natalie Russo and Alyse Oppedisano helped with timekeeping the games and managing the fields. Matilda Gilbert, Hannah Sacco, Catherine Smart, Rosie Tozer, Alessia Rizzuto, Bonita Glassock, Claudia Lacalandra, Billie Letsios, Ella Rochester, Lucy Mutimer, Annaliese Klapdor, Lana Brusek and Renee Kwon refereed and coached the 15 minute games. While assisting, the girls had the opportunity to encourage and interact with the younger students. Their help was greatly appreciated.

The students acted as great role models for the younger students and represented MSCW with pride.

NSW Women’s Under 20s Touch Football

On 19-20 August, Year 12 student Mia Rodgers represented the NSW Women’s Under 20s Touch football Team at the State of Origin tournament in Coffs Harbour. Mia’s team came up against a strong QLD Women’s Under 20s side in a three-game series. The first game was a tight encounter, with NSW holding off QLD to win 9-7. This meant that if they won the second game, NSW would retain the shield. Fortunately, Mia’s team were able to claim victory in a fast-paced match 6-5, and win the overall series. Queensland then went on to win game 3 with a score of 7-5, making the series 2-1.

Massive congratulations to Mia on the win, and for a strong performance throughout the tournament. Awesome achievement!

SCS Under 16s Girls Rugby League

Congratulations Ellie Barnett and Elsie Gray who had the honour of being a part of the first ever Sydney Catholic Schools Under 16s Girls Rugby League team for the NSW CCC selections. After two training sessions, on Tuesday 16 August both attended the NSWRL Centre of Excellence in Homebush for a development day with the three other teams. They were lucky enough to have a tour of the centre and listen to a talk from two NRLW Parramatta Eels players, Simaima Taufa and Tess Staines.

After a day of development, on Wednesday 17 August everyone competed at St Mary’s Stadium. An early start began with a team photo, followed by their first game of the day against Metropolitan. It was a close game to start the day but Sydney was able to capture the win, the final score being 4-0. The second game was against Southern Country, the toughest competition of the day which was shown through the unfortunate score, 28-0. The third and final game was another close game against Northern Country, although the Country girls proved to be too strong again and took the win 8-4.

Ellie found herself in unfamiliar positions throughout the day, playing five-eight, and full-back in addition to her regular position half-back. Despite this, her skills proved her to be unstoppable anywhere. Elsie played in her familiar positions in second-row and centre, stopping hard competition while also playing in lock after injuries. After the 6 matches, the NSWCCC selectors that had watched on Tuesday and Wednesday announced a possible and probable team. Ellie’s skills were proven to be selected for this next stage, with Elsie missing out. Unfortunately, both girls ended up missing out on the final NSWCCC team.
