Sports Report

ACS Gary McSweeney Memorial Cup and Rugby Union Trials

 

On Friday 30th May, three Stage 3 boys travelled to Tamworth to take part in the ACS Gary McSweeney Memorial Cup and Rugby Union Trials. The boys played in a team consisting of students from across the diocese and were excited to finish the day undefeated. It was a memorable experience filled with sportsmanship, teamwork and amazing skills.

 

Well done to Toby Nairn and Harry Crossing, who were both selected for the “Possible and Probables” and congratulations to Darby Cameron who was selected for the ACS team! Darby will now advance to the Polding Trials in Forbes at the end of the month.
