During last week, First XVIII player Mitchell Dettman from Year 10 played in the NSW All Schools Boys 15 Years and Under AFL Championships representing CIS. The other associations involved were Combined High School (CHS) and Combined Catholic Colleges (CCC). For the first time ever, CIS won the premiership with Mitchell Dettman as the leading CIS goal scorer with four goals across the two days. Well done!
Last Saturday, our First XVIII were up against the top-of-the-ladder team, Newington. A team full of Swans Academy and representative players, our goal was to worry about our own game and not the scoreline. Although the scoreline does not read very well, in actual fact, we were very proud of our efforts. To score three goals and compete the way we did, putting together passages of play that were Division 1 standard, our boys should be very proud of their efforts. This was the final round of the in-season competition. Next week is the first of four weeks of finals. First up, we play against 4th place, Cranbrook. If we lose this game, we get relegated to Division 2 and play the remaining three weeks against their top teams. The match is being held on a Friday night which the boys are looking forward to. Good luck!!
Shore Intermediates are enjoying their time down in Division 2 with another comprehensive victory. With a slow start to the match, the boys came out firing in the second quarter to take the lead and extend with a 26-point victory. Goals were shared around with many players getting on the scoreboard.
Our Junior Division 2 team are going from strength to strength with another dominant display. This moves them to equal top of the ladder with four wins and two losses alongside Waverley and Trinity. However, Shore sits on top with their stronger percent win calculation. Thomas Hamilton kicked his way to another five goals, now moving him to the equal leader with Aidan Kurtis as the Golden Boot with 15 goals.
Unfortunately for the Junior Division 3 team, Redlands ended up with less than the minimum required to start an official match, forcing them to forfeit and give our boys the automatic win. Our coaching staff and boys were great in offering our players to them to even up the teams and play a friendly scratch match. The Redland players they had were quite strong and were able to provide a very competitive match for our boys.
This weekend is the King’s Birthday long weekend, so no games are on. The following week, as mentioned, First XVIII are playing a Friday night match, along with the Intermediate’s also playing a Friday night game. Enjoy the weekend off, and be ready to go for round seven.
Success is not for the chosen, but for those who choose.
