Knox Division Summer Sport Finals – Volleyball and Tennis

The Knox Division Summer Sport finals continued throughout week three. Tuesday, 20 October was the Volleyball finals in which our boys team had qualified. We won our three pool games against Kent Park, Mountain Gate and Scoresby to book a spot in the Division final, however sadly lost to Waverley Christian College to finish in 2nd place overall. Well done to the boys for showing outstanding sportsmanship all day and thanks to Monique for driving players and Mr P for coaching. Wednesday, 21 October saw the Softball finals where, both the boys and girls teams competed after winning the district competition last term. They had great days out on the field, with both teams making their respective grand finals but unfortunately finishing Runner’s Up. Thanks to Mrs Smith and Mrs Hayen for coaching.
