Week 4

Round 4 of the Independent School Softball competition took place this past Saturday with two of our Pymble teams competing. 

We started off bright and early Saturday morning with our Senior Firsts team taking on Brigidine 1 here at Pymble. Once again, it was an intense game against Brigidine, but our Senior Firsts team managed to seal another victory, winning 6 to 1. They had some great defensive plays from Gabriella Nutman (Year 10) at shortstop, who had an amazing catch, and Varada Vinay (Year 10) in right field, who threw out a runner at second base. They also had a great offensive display, with a cracking hit from Emily Mitchell (Year 12) which kicked off the third inning.  

Then we had our Pymble 4 team play against Loreto Normanhurst 3 later in the day. The girls played a tough game but showed great improvement from previous weeks and continued to fight hard with every pitch. They had some standout performances from Aurora Burton (Year 07), who pitched a great game as well as displaying great fielding skills, and Christina Lee (Year 08), did a great job of transferring skills learnt from training into the game, specifically in the batter’s box. 

Both our Pymble 2 and Pymble 3 teams had a bye this weekend. 

Team of the week

Our team of the week goes to our Senior First team as they had a high-level performance against Brigidine 1. 

Representative Team Selections

We would like to congratulate Gabriella Nutman (Year 10) on her selection into the NSWCIS team, as well as her selection into the U15 Women’s Australian team that will compete in the World Cup later this year in Italy.  

Next week we will see all four of our Pymble teams competing, with three of our Pymble teams playing at home and our Senior First team on the road.
