ISA Round 4
Round 4 saw a great number of wins for Oxley. Firstly, congratulations to the Netball Firsts who have come away with another incredible win against Redlands (50-32), well done girls. The Football Firsts Boys could not come unnoticed, despite large amounts of rain the boys were able to defeat SAS (4-1), well done boys. Our Hockey Firsts team had an outstanding win against Barker which was incredible to see as Oxley has not won against the Barker Firsts for a long time. Our Hockey Seconds finished strong with a tie against Blue Mountains Grammar School (2-2). The Football Seconds Boys also came home with a tie (0-0) after a difficult game against St Paul’s Grammar. Unfortunately, after many great games during the first parts of the season our Football Firsts Girls have come out with their first loss this season against BMGS (1-3), however we must recognise their constant ability to show Oxley spirit. Tennis Firsts had a great start to the season, playing their second game after being washed out for the first couple of weeks. They played SACS and unfortunately lost (3.5-4.5).
It is also necessary to mention that we had one team unable to play this round due to loss of players, Rugby Firsts.
Well done everyone who participated in sport this round; you should all be very proud of how you played as a team. Let’s keep striving to achieve the Oxley values. Keep up the great work!
ISA Round 5
Round 5 saw some severe weather conditions, affecting many sports however we must celebrate the teams that were able to overcome this challenge and play.
Hockey Firsts had a great game against our all-time rivals Chevalier College and came home with a close game, winning (4-3), establishing their place on the ladder. Well done, girls! The Tennis Firsts had a great win for their third game back, beating Redlands (8-0). The Football Firsts Girls also has a great win against Barker, defeating them (3-2). The Football Firsts Boys had an unfortunate but close loss (2-3) against SPC and are currently third on the ladder.
There were however a number of games cancelled this round, including both the Netball Firsts and Seconds and the Rugby Firsts.
Congratulations to all competing teams this round; you should be very proud of how far Oxley sport has come.
