Secondary Diocesan Cricket

On Tuesday 5 December, our St Philomena's Secondary Cricket Team played against St Mary's Gunnedah in Moree. It was a tough match with some excellent cricketing skills displayed by both teams. St Mary's were too good on the day, scoring 120 runs off 20 overs. Jono Dawson was the best bowler for St Phillies with 2/5 and a catch! We appreciate St Mary's lending us some players, who contributed significantly to our batting and fielding efforts. Most importantly, the sportsmanship shown was excellent! Congratulations to both teams on a fantastic match.
