U15 Cricket Australia National Championship

Congratulations to Hayden Forner for his New South Wales representation at the Cricket Australia National Championship. The carnival consisted of six 50 over (one day) games where Hayden versed other states across the week. The carnival was held between the 20th and 27th in Ballarat, Victoria. Hayden was the wicket keeper in the team and middle order batsman. My NSW team unfortunately ended up coming 6th. Victoria Country won the tournament.

Hayden quoted “the quality of cricket was played at an exceptional level and I had an amazing experience playing against great cricketers”.

 

Well done Hayden on your excellent achievement.

 

2020 MCC Sporting Carnivals, BISSA Carnivals and CCC Representation

Due to the safety precautions taken to protect students from a COVID-19 possible outbreak, many sporting days and representation around the College and outside the College have been postponed until further notice. As a precaution, school sport for year 7 and 8 has been limited to all sport being held on school grounds. The same precaution has been taken for all PE lessons off school grounds. We have also postponed at this stage the MCC Cross Country. Mr Le Brocque and I will make a decision on the athletics carnival closer to the date.

There have also been many other carnivals and event cancellations from CEDWW and NSWCCC. Please see a list of all the postponed events below.
