Athlete Development Program

The group is looking at working hard over the winter months building up core strength. There will be some new students invited into the program over the next couple of weeks. We were waiting to see how some students performed at the Athletics Carnival before making a decision; however the weather put an end to that idea.

Football Results

Senior Boys – Melton def Bacchus Marsh 11-9 to 0-2 but lost to Staughton 4-3 to 9-9.

Senior Girls – Melton def Kurunjang 9-5 to 1-0 and def Staughton 6-7 to 0-0 to go to the next level.

Volleyball results – Western Metropolitan Finals

Game 1 – def Rosehill 20-3, 20-14,

Game 2 – drew with Maribyrnong 20-13, 25-27

Game 3 – def Copperfield – 21-19, 2-12 to qualify for the Region final on countback

Region Final – def Braybrook 20-9, 20-16

Off to State final now on May 19 in Dandenong.

Squash results

The senior and intermediate girls squash teams have qualified directly to the State final. Unfortunately there were not enough entries for Squash Vic to run a junior girls competition (an event where we would have started as favourite to win).

Athletics

Unfortunately the Athletics Carnival was washed out. We made an early call to postpone as the forecast was very poor. It did rain more in Keilor than here on that day. It was nearly impossible to find an available venue in May to redo the carnival. We are still looking at what will happen and when about another carnival.
