NSW CCC Rugby League

Congratulations to Elsie Gray (Year 11 Student) who had the privilege to play in Sydney Catholic Schools first Under 18s Women’s Rugby League team in history. The two-day program from the 17-18 May consisted of a training day at NSW Blues Centre of Excellence and a game of playing at St Mary’s Stadium. The training day on Wednesday consisted of a tour of the Blues training facility and a talk from Women’s Rugby League advocate Ruan Sims. Ruan was an inspiration to the young girls, continually repeating the question “Why Not?” In relation to women in rugby league. Thursday consisted of 3 games against Metropolitan, Country Southern and Country Northern. It was an extremely tough competition for the Sydney team, not getting a win on the day. Elsie played in her usual positions of Centre and Second Rower. A NSWCCC team was announced at the end of the day, chosen from the 4 teams. Elsie was unsuccessful but is looking forward to trying again next year.

Awesome achievement!

NSW All School Mixed Touch Challenge

On Tuesday 23 May, six MSCW students: Holly Lloyd, Ellie Barnett, Leah Russell, Amelie Fehir, Brianna Kelly and Georgia Southcombe combined with six Holy Cross students to participate in the NSW All School Mixed Touch Challenge. 

The Championship occurred at Doyle Park, Parramatta where the team fought hard in 4 round games, winning 3 games and drawing 1. This led the team into the semi-final where MSCW knew it would be a challenging game coming from high-scoring round games. Fighting till the last minute the team went down losing in the semi-final 4-2 to Balgowlah High School who then went on to win the competition. The Holy Cross/Marist Sisters team consisted of only 3 year 12 players meaning all other players were year 11 and younger allowing them to return next year to win the premiership!
