Rowing

Riding on the (very sparkly) coattails of the hugely successful musical 'Chicago: Teen Edition', the intermission food stall raised an impressive $1400, which will go towards new equipment for The Hamilton and Alexandra College Rowing program.

Many thanks to our rowers and rowing parents for providing the delicious bites on offer and running the stall, and to all theatre-goers who supported us.

Both players were instrumental under the ring, making valuable contributions to the team's performance.

They showed great resilience, held their heads high and demonstrated that they will come back stronger from this experience. Players of the Day were Herbie Dyer and Jack Allen.

Div 2 – Snowy Owls

This week, we went head-to-head with the top-ranked Tigers in an exciting and closely contested match. After taking the lead in the first half, the Tigers fought back and the game finished in a thrilling 33–33 draw.

The team was delighted to welcome back key player Saskia Gould from injury. Saskia made an outstanding impact, scoring an impressive 20 points and driving the teams strong performance.

This week, the girls took on Saint Mary's Black in a hard-fought match, ultimately falling by 10 points. After a closely contested first half, the team remained competitive, but the game unfortunately slipped away in the second half. The girls showed great determination and worked tirelessly to create scoring opportunities and maintain pressure throughout the game. Ava Ryan was a standout, leading the team with 8 points. Her strong ball movement and determined drives to the basket resulted in several impressive lay-ups.

Div 4 College Men’s – Boobook Owls

Our College Boys basketball team also faced the top-ranked Tigers this week in a hard-fought contest, narrowly going down by just 5-points. Despite the result, the boys demonstrated determination and resilience throughout the game, working tirelessly to create scoring opportunities against a strong opposition.

Player of the Match honours went to Sam O'Sullivan, who led the team with 9-points. Sam was instrumental in driving to the basket on fast breaks, securing important rebounds, and consistently displaying excellent teamwork and commitment on the court.

Looking Ahead

Another fantastic week of basketball has wrapped up, with our College teams continuing to build momentum as finals approach. The commitment, teamwork and determination being shown across all teams is a wonderful reflection of the effort our players are putting into their season.

With finals on the horizon, we look forward to seeing our teams compete with confidence, support one another and give their very best right through to the end of the season.

Hockey

The College women went up against Dunkeld Blue in a tough game, losing 8-0. Despite missing a number of key players, the team worked hard and took on positions they hadn't played before. Grace Potter and Jessica Templeton had a great game, switching well from their usual forward positions back to defence. Hannah Young also had some amazing saves in the goals, which were truly commendable. We look forward to having our full team back this Friday to play against Coleraine.

The College Men played Rams on Sunday and drew 3-3. They had a strong performance for the most part of the game, with only a three-minute lapse before half-time to concede two costly goals. However, Cairo Cullinane had a super save in a short corner, early in the third quarter, which helped keep the men on level terms. Goal scorers for the game were Oscar Smith, Reuben Hays and Charlie Hawthorne (Captain). The men will go up against the Bulls at 4:30 this Sunday.
