Primary Diocesan Cricket Trials

On Monday 19th July Joshua Slack-Smith, George Kirkby, Roger Vickery, Will McCormick, Alexandra Reardon and Stephanie Antees travelled to Tamworth to trial for the Armidale Diocesan Cricket Team. They trialed against students from schools around the Diocese, leaving the selectors with a tough decision of choosing 12 students from almost 70! Well done to all students who trialed, you did a fantastic job. 

 

Congratulations to Joshua Slack-Smith, Alexandra Reardon and Stephanie Antees who will travel to Lismore to represent the Armidale Diocese at the Polding Trials. 

Primary Diocesan Athletics Carnival will be held on the Friday 13th August in Tamworth. Please return notes and required payment to the office by Wednesday 4th August or pay on QKR. Secondary Diocesan Athletics Carnival that was scheduled for the Wednesday 11th August has been postponed. A date will be announced soon.
