Co-curricular - Senior Sport
Week 3 Update
The first round of the ISA Summer competitions began last Saturday with the First XI Cricket side playing on Breen Oval against St Stanislaus’ College. With a young, new look First XI side, Mr Simpson would be happy with his team’s performance, recording a convincing win.
In Basketball, the First V put together an impressive team performance in their first outing. In a fast-paced opening period, both teams played with a lot of energy. At the final siren it was SPC who would come away with the victory at Oxford Falls, beating St Pius X College, 91 – 63. We hope to see the momentum carry on into this Saturday’s fixture home game in the College gymnasium against Central Coast Grammar; tip off at 1:00 PM.
The First IX Baseball side took to the field and recorded an impressive 16-0 run victory. This dominant display from the Blue, Black, Gold sees the First IX record their fourth win in a row, with the only loss coming at the hands of Five Dock who the boys play this weekend.
Well done to all other teams and good luck for Round 2 of the ISA competitions, as well as the continued NDJCA and RHBL competitions.
Summer Sport Expectations
I wish to emphasise a couple of key points regarding the College’s sporting expectations for all students:
- Attendance at all Games is Compulsory.
Any boy who is unable to play due to injury will attend his team’s Saturday fixture in a supportive role as a way of fulfilling his Co-curricular commitment. If a student fails to attend a Saturday fixture, upon his return to school, he must provide the Head of Sport or MIC with a medical certificate explaining his absence from the fixture.
- A request to miss a training session or leave early from training should rarely occur. Should the need arise, an email should be forwarded to the Head of Sport or relevant MIC requesting permission well in advance.
- All injuries a boy receives at training and/or on game days must be reported to the Team Coach. Boys who require medication or any medical equipment are reminded that they are responsible for bringing it with them to all trials, training sessions and weekend fixtures.
- All boys involved in a Summer sport are to wear the correct playing attire for fixtures. Coaches have been instructed not to play any students wearing incorrect uniform.
- Students who choose to support their peers are to be dressed in only College attire - the College sports uniform consisting of the Supporter’s shirt, black crested shorts, white socks and sandshoes (College tracksuit in colder weather). The only cap to be worn is the College cap.
