Downie Shield and Berg Shield - Cricket 

The Downie Shield is a state wide cricket tournament which sees schools from all over NSW compete. It was exciting to enter this competition for the first time this year. Our Open boys team played earlier this week and narrowly went down against Magdalene Catholic College in a tight game but are to be commended for their efforts until the very end of the game. 

 

Our Berg Shield team (Year 7 - Year 9) will play against St Dominic’s next week. We wish the boys the very best of luck next week. It is sure to be great game!
