ACS Girls Cricket 

Last week 35 girls from Years 7-11 came together for the ACS Girls Cricket Gala Day held at Albert Park. It was a wonderful day of sport, where our students got to showcase their skill and teamwork. 

Our 3 teams played three exciting pool matches before the two top teams progressed to the final. It was a successful day for all our teams, with Overnewton A and B both finishing on top of their groups after some excellent performances. This meant it was an all Overnewton grand final where Overnewton A claimed victory off the very last ball and becoming back-to-back champions. 

Congratulations to all players for their effort and teamwork, you represented the College brilliantly and made the day a huge success. 

Regional Softball and Hotshots 

Congratulations to the Boys RED and the Girls BLUE Softball teams on a terrific performance at the School Sport Victoria Regional Softball Championships in Geelong last week.  This is the first time 5/6 Sport softball teams have progressed through the SSV pathway to qualify for the Regional Finals.  Both teams shared a positive experience playing in a round robin tournament but unfortunately were not successful progressing through to the SSV State Finals.  

Congratulations also to the 5/6 Girls RED Hot Shots Tennis team on an outstanding performance at the recent Western Metropolitan Hot Shots Tennis Championships. It was a combined team effort, winning 3 out of their 5 matches to finish 5th overall in a highly competitive tournament. Well done to all players for their effort, sportsmanship, and teamwork!
