The girls versed Cammeraygal High School, who were a competitive and skilled bunch of young men to say the least! It was Sofia Vella\u2019s first ever game and she gave 100%, never giving up, holding her head high and showing some impressive skill! Olivia Aloisio was on board one and after a half an hour she gloriously beat her opponent, a great start to the season. Beth Devine and Megan Lam had the boys sweating with frustration, though did not manage to pull off the win this week.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Our Senior Team versed St Aloysius. Elaina Balassis, Sasha Devajana, Elizabeth Smart and Phoebe Siminsky all brought their expertise and enthusiasm.\u00a0 After a drawn out forty minute game Sasha gracefully took a win home for our girls!
