Age Champions
Allschools Oztag
On the weekend I had the privilege of heading to the Sunshine Coast with 15 of our girls to compete in the Queensland Allschools Oztag carnival. This is a huge statewide carnival that runs over 3 days. The girls did an outstanding job of coming together to compete against some very tough teams. They only lost two matches which was against the overall 1st and 2nd place teams. They did a great job and fought hard but were unfortunately knocked out in the finals. Thank you to the girls and the parents for a great weekend!
