Intermediate Cricket State Final

The Year 9/10 Cricket team travelled out to Bendigo to take on Bendigo South East College in the State Quarter Finals. We were met with very hot conditions and the opposition boasted some very good players.

In the first innings Bendigo made 4/151 with their opening batsmen making a century and nearly carried his bat. Josh Aronson, Alex Johnson and Darcy Skinner all managed to grab a wicket. Julian Marshall was also able to get an economical return of 0/19 off his 4 overs.

We fought hard to reach the impressive total but fell short at 6/129. Daniel Gregory was the star with the bat with a 49 falling one run short of his half century. He was also well supported by Darcy Skinner with a quick fire 27 and Josh Aronson with a 26.

Yr 8 Boys Futsal

On November 11, two Yr 8 teams competed in the Divisional Futsal competition at Reservoir High School.  Both teams displayed amazing skills and team work throughout the day and moved easily through their pools, defeating all other schools.  This qualified us to have a Northcote A vs Northcote B Final.  In a very closely contested match, Northcote A came away with the win defeating Northcote B 3-1. A special mention to Nick Gevaux for his great goal keeping.  Thank you to Mr Barrett for coaching the teams.

Yr 7 & 8 Girls State Hockey

On Monday 13 November, the year 7&8 girls competed at the state hockey championships. Although the results didn’t go our way, everyone demonstrated optimism and enthusiasm. Despite the hot weather, all the girls gave it their all. I’m sure we’ll be back next year fighting for the title of state champions.

Congratulations to our Yr 7 Girls Futsal team who displayed great skills and speed throughout the Divisional Competition on November 14. The girls easily won all of their matches qualifying them to play in the NMR finals which is to be played on November 30. Thanks you to Ms Jacobs for selecting and coaching the teams prior to the competition.

Yr 7 Boys Futsal

On November 16, we had two Yr 7 Boys teams compete in the Divisional Futsal competition at Reservoir High School.  Northcote A finished on top of their pool after defeating EPIC, Reservoir A and William Ruthven, their only loss was against Thornbury A.  

Northcote B moved through their pool undefeated with no goals scored against them.  Finishing on top of their pools qualified the both teams to play in the semi final where Northcote B came up against William Ruthven. Our boys put up a good fight but they just weren’t strong enough to come away with the win.

In the other semi final Northcote A defeated St Johns 6 -1.  The win qualified them to play off in the grand final against William Ruthven.

In the Grand final, William Ruthven came out strong and confident but our boys squashed any hopes of success by displaying their skills and great teamwork. They defeated them 4-1.  Thanks to our student coaches George Maj and Olivia Hanrahan.
