Rugby

12’s V Scots College Sydney – After a terrific night of learning about life in the country the Scots team took on the mighty KWS 12’s. An early try by the two blues had the crowd very excited. Play ebbed and flowed with tries from both teams seeing Scots up 12-10 at the break. The second half saw Scots score a number of tries as we tried valiantly in defence as we continually turned over possession. The final try was scored by KWS demonstrating the boys’ determination to play to the final whistle. As always these games are played in tremendous spirt. A huge thank you to the families who looked after the boys from Scots. They were most appreciative.

12’s Rugby – 7’s Tournament – We returned to Killara for the IPSHA 7’s tournament having won 3 from 3 on our last visit. Playing 3 of the stronger sides this time we played a mixture of outstanding running rugby coupled with rather ordinary play. We put it down to travel and the dusty oval!! Despite this we came away with a 5-6 loss to Newington, 4-6 to Coogee and a thrilling 6-6 with St Andrews after being down 5-1. The boys scored some memorable tries and certainly enjoy the 7’s concept.

Next games:

Wednesday 8 August against Emus, Sally Kennett Oval at 4.15 pm
Saturday 18 August against Tudor House, Moss Vale at 9 am

U11 Firebirds – Week 2: First game after the holidays we were defeated 8-2 by team Milthorpe. Matilda and Emily scored the two goals of the game. Mia and Alice’s ball handling skills have improved. Firebirds put 100% into the game. Ava, Charlotte and Aimee had height on their side and were able to get the ball away from Milthorpe. Lilly played the ball well and made tricky passes. Luckily with only a few drops of rain our centres Lilly and Bridget managed to continue a fast pace game. Milthorpe found that Firebirds like the high ball throwing and caught us out a few times but a fun game was had by all. As the Captain of the day I would like to thank my team mates for the 100% effort they brought to the game. Brig on next Saturday!! Also, thanks for the parents, without you we wouldn’t be playing netball.

In the first quarter we were down 1 nil. Then at the start of the second quarter the other team scored another goal. Fighting back hard we changed the play. With our shooters getting great feeds from the mid field combined with the strong defence, we came out on top 6 to 2. Walking away with our third win of the season.

U12 Falcons – Week 2: We started off with a strong lead with Emma Northam and Neve Jansen scoring 4 goals in the first quarter. Our defenders kept the opposition team from getting any goals this quarter. We stayed strong in the 2nd quarter with our shooters scoring 3 more goals giving us a total of 7 goals. We kept our lead in the 3rd quarter despite the opposition beginning to catch up. In the 4 quarter our shooters scored 5 more goals leaving us with our overall score of 18 with the opposition on 7. The whole team played very well together and this was our best performance of the season so far.

Kookaburras – Week3: This week was one of our best games even though the Molong team were too strong and we lost. All the team tried really hard and played both defence and attack with all their effort. Finally, all the encouragement from Mrs Key is paying off!

Scorpions –Week 3: This week we had a great game against Moloney we managed to run the ball and pass with some great runs down the side by Lucy and with Phoebe and Angelina stopping the ball and sending it our direction so that Hugo could score twice and myself once. Thanks Stella for a great job in goal. Score 3/1 our way.
