Sports Report

North West Tennis Trials

Harry Purvis travelled to Tamworth on Monday 26th July to participate in the North West Tennis Trials.

Harry played 7 matches in total during the day, each match was first to 4 and he only lost one game the whole day.

Consequently, Harry was successful in being selected as the number 1 player in the North West team to play at the State Championships to be held in Wagga Wagga later in the year.  Consequently, all CHSSA sport that has been scheduled has been postponed until further notice. 

Congratulations Harry on this achievement.

League Tag

On Wednesday the 23rd of June, a group of 13 students in years 7-10 came together and made an open’s team to travel to Inverell and compete in a League Tag Gala day against Glen Innes, Macintyre and Tenterfield High Schools. A shaky first game playing Tenterfield, the game ending in a 4-2 score, Tenterfield way. 

After discussing and thinking how to improve they played against Macintyre High. 

With the help of communication and coming together as a team, we finished the game with a 5-2 lead. 

To finish off the day we had a friendly game against Glen Innes. While the fun is all around, Glen takes a 3-1 win. 

It was a great day of sport and the girls are looking forward to playing some more footy.  

Congratulations to Tahli Smith who was nominated “Players Player”. 

Thanks also to Eunice Blair and Mrs Ryan for organising the day.

Primary Touch Football

On Monday the 26th of July, both Primary boys and girls touch football teams travelled to Glen Innes to compete in the PSSA knockout against Glen Innes Public School.

The boys played first and the game was a fast paced game with Guyra making some simple mistakes. At the end of the first half the score was 6 - 1 to Glen Innes. In the second half, Guyra was not able to get in front of Glen Innes but were able to improve on their mistakes that they made in the first half by not turning the ball over as often. Tynan scored another runaway try and at fulltime the score was 11 - 2 to Glen Innes.

The girls started and showed that they were very strong in defence and attack. Gwenisha Landsborough scored a runaway try just before the end of the first half. At half time the score was 2 - 1 to Glen Innes. The girls came out hungry to win the second half and Gwenisha and Rose Kliendienst both scored runaway tries. The girls defended well and held out Glen Innes from scoring until the last minute. At the end of the second half the scores were tied and meant that the girls would go into overtime where they were to play drop-off. Every 2 minutes a player was taken off until it was three against three. Gwenisha, Hayley Williams and Savannah Lansley-Irving were the last three left on the field and played a solid 10 minutes of defence and attack, until Savannah ran the full length of the field to score, winning the game.

Well done to both teams who showed great sportsmanship. 

A BIG thank you to Adrian Cameron for driving the students on the new bus to Glen Innes, Miss Fletcher for coaching, Glen Innes Public School, both teachers and students and the Referees.
