Co-Curricular - Senior Sport 

Another busy weekend of summer sport saw St Patrick's College students representing the College across Basketball, Cricket, Baseball, Golf and Touch Football. With some impressive victories, closely contested fixtures and plenty of competitive spirit on display, there were several highlights to celebrate.

Basketball provided some of the weekend's standout performances, with the First V delivering an impressive 89–67 victory over St Pius X College on home court. The 15 As and 17 As also enjoyed victories over St Pius X, winning 36–28 and 35–22 respectively, while the Open C team secured a 29–21 win. Elsewhere, the 14 Cs edged out St Stanislaus' College 39–37 in a thrilling contest, while the 17 Bs recorded an equally close 18–16 victory over St Augustine's College. Congratulations to all teams on their efforts.

In Touch Football, our Junior teams produced some excellent results. Junior A recorded a convincing 8–3 victory over Chevalier College, while Junior B followed with a 6–2 win against the same opposition. Junior C also enjoyed success, defeating St Pius X College 10–6 in one of their two fixtures. It was pleasing to see the Junior program continuing to develop and compete strongly.

Cricket saw the 14 Gold team produce a particularly exciting result, narrowly defeating WECC after posting 159/7 and restricting their opponents to 156/5. A fantastic effort in a closely contested match! The First XI and Second XI faced challenging fixtures against St Pius X College, while our remaining Cricket teams continued their summer sport campaigns.

Our Baseball and Golf teams also faced strong opposition over the weekend. Although results did not go our way, the boys' willingness to compete and represent the College remains an important part of their sporting development.

As we settle further into the summer sport season, a reminder to all students of the importance of attending scheduled training sessions and Saturday fixtures. Consistent attendance, preparation and commitment to teammates are essential to the success of our sporting programs.

Thank you once again to our coaches, staff and families for their continued support of College Sport. Congratulations to all boys who represented St Patrick's over the weekend, and we look forward to another exciting round of fixtures this Saturday!
