Around the Grounds
It was a warm day for Round 6 of the IPSHA competition, with SCEGGS teams competing at venues across Sydney. There were some exciting and closely contested matches throughout the day. A special congratulations to the SCEGGS 7 Touch Football team, who secured their first win of the season! Despite playing in the middle of the day, the team showed wonderful grit and determination to finish with a three-try victory. Indi Cowper (Year 4) had an outstanding game, using her speed and agility to navigate the Meriden defence and find the try line on several occasions. Congratulations to the entire team on their continued improvement, effort and commitment.
A reminder that Saturday 12 September is the final round for Year 3 Netball, IPSHA Touch Football and IPSHA AFL. Trials for Year 3 Football (Soccer), IPSHA Tennis and IPSHA Basketball will take place in Weeks 9 and 10.
