Sport News

As we prepare for our final weekend of AIC sport for the year this weekend a reminder to all of the need to finish well. It is important that we maintain our effort, our commitment and our discipline. Each weekend we are representatives of the college, hundreds of “postcards” out in the community where for many people who see us at sport, it is their only interaction with Marist College Ashgrove and will paint a picture of the college for them. Lets make sure that is a positive one! Good luck to the seniors who play your last game of sport for the College, enjoy the occasion and I hope you take away a strong set of memories and experiences.

Last weekend we hosted Villanova College. Overall, it was a strong day for Marist, though it was a mixed bag in the firsts. The 1st V went down 100-42 against a Villanova side that have not lost an AIC fixture in over 5 years. In rugby league we lost 16-14 in a brave performance, affected by injuries. The 1st VI tennis won on games countback after tying 4-4 in matches. Results across the board were strong again with many good performances from teams across the sports and year levels.

My thanks are extended to Ms Samantha Davids and Mr Kierran Moseley who organized a ceremony to celebrate our Indigenous community and the wonderful gifts and talents they bring to our college. Thank you to both rugby league and basketball first teams for accommodating this as a part of your preparation to play, and representatives of Villanova College for attending and supporting this initiative. Both of our teams then played in our Indigenous design jerseys, which represent each of the nations from which our Indigenous students come.

It has been another terrific term with the following teams go into their last matches undefeated so far:

Basketball: 8B, 8C

Rugby League: 9A, 8B

Tennis: 10B, 8B, 6A, 6B, 5A, 5B

Our track and field team are heavy into their preparation for the AIC Championships. After a big week of Met North the AIC lead-up meets continue with a number of impressive performances across the program as we get closer to the AIC championships. Our Track and Field camp is next week which is something the whole squad looks forward to as we fine tune our preparations, leading into holiday training and mini meets against other schools during the holiday period. My sincere thanks to all involved in Track and Field for the time and energy you commit to helping our boys achieve their best, none more so than Head Coach, Mr Rob Martin, who dedicates himself so much to the team.

AFL Umpires Course

Last week a number of Marist students completed the AFL umpires course with AFL Queensland. This dedication to contributing to the service of their sport is to be admired. The boys will gain experience in the QGSSSA and CaSSSA competitions in Term 4 and then will be available to support the AIC season in Term 1.

Why We Play Sport In Schools

It is important to recognise the reasons why schools play sport. Sport in schools plays a vital role in the holistic development of our boys. Beyond the obvious physical benefits, such as improved fitness, strength, and coordination, participating in sports fosters critical life skills and values that extend well beyond the classroom.

One of the primary values of sports in schools is the promotion of teamwork and cooperation. Students learn to work together towards a common goal, developing a sense of camaraderie and understanding the importance of each individual's contribution to the team's success. This experience teaches them to communicate effectively, respect others' opinions, and resolve conflicts constructively.

Sports also instil discipline and time management skills. Regular practice schedules require students to balance their academic responsibilities with their athletic commitments, fostering a sense of responsibility and time management. These skills are crucial as they prepare students for the demands of adult life, where balancing various aspects of life becomes essential.

Moreover, sports in schools promote resilience and perseverance. Athletes learn to cope with both success and failure, understanding that setbacks are a part of the journey. This resilience helps them build a strong character, enabling them to face challenges in life with a positive mindset.

In addition, participation in sports often enhances students' self-esteem and confidence. Achieving personal or team goals, whether through winning a game or improving personal performance, provides a sense of accomplishment that boosts self-worth. This confidence can translate into better performance in academics and other areas of life.

Finally, sports play a critical role in fostering a sense of belonging and school spirit. Through competitions and sports events, students develop a sense of pride in their school, contributing to a positive school culture and community.

It is important to recognise that there is no reference to winning in there. We want to win, staff invest in organising, managing and coaching to see the boys thrive and grow, and a part of seeing them grow and succeed is enjoying seeing them win and do well, but, it is not our focus. It is the boys focus for sure, and we want to win, but we do not compromise the developmental benefits of playing sport to chase wins.

Holiday Camps

Don’t forget our pre-season holiday camps for AFL and Cricket in the upcoming school holidays. These events will give the participants a great experience, learn new skills and prepare the boys for the upcoming AIC trials in Term 4.

If you played these sports in 2025 you will find the registration link in your Events and Payment section in Parent Lounge/Orbit App. If you did not play in 2025 please email lennnond@marash.qld.edu.au and I will invite you.

Rugby League

Mr Lachlan Gough (Rugby League Coordinator)

Marist College Ashgrove rugby league enjoyed a competitive weekend of fixtures against Villanova, highlighted by strong performances across the program. The 1st XIII match was a thrilling contest on McMahon Oval, with both sides trading momentum throughout. Despite a determined effort, Marist were edged out 14–16 in a nail-biting finish. The 2nd XIII responded impressively, running in a 38–22 victory built on enterprising attack and resilient defence.

Our Year 10 and 9 teams were particularly dominant, with the 10A side prevailing 28–10 and the 10Bs posting a convincing 26–6 win over Padua. The 9A team continued the momentum with a 26–12 victory. The younger age groups also showcased the depth of talent, with the 8A team producing a standout 54–10 result and the 8Bs backing it up with a 38–6 triumph.

At the junior level, results were mixed but competitive. The 7A boys fought bravely in an 8–10 loss, while the 7Bs held on for a 14–10 win. In Year 6, the A side recorded a strong 24–8 victory, though the B team went down 12–16. The 5A and 5B matches were both tight affairs, with Marist showing courage in narrow defeats.

Overall, the round reflected spirited play, teamwork, and resilience across all grades.

Our program is built on a foundation of three key pillars:

Character Development: We believe that sports have the power to instil valuable life skills. Through rugby league, we aim to teach our students qualities such as teamwork, discipline, respect, perseverance, and sportsmanship. These values extend beyond the playing field and into all aspects of their lives.

Skill and Technique: Our dedicated coaching staff are committed to honing the rugby league skills of each participant. We provide quality coaching and opportunities to refine and perfect the techniques needed to excel in this dynamic sport. Whether your child is new to rugby league or an experienced player, we cater to all skill levels, ensuring that each student progresses at their own pace.

Competitive Spirit: We foster a healthy sense of competition, encouraging our students to strive for excellence while respecting the opposition. This program provides opportunities for our young athletes to test their abilities in friendly matches, school competitions, and external tournaments, nurturing a sense of pride and camaraderie in representing Marist College, Ashgrove.

This weekend is our final round in for the 2025 season where we lost local rival Padua College here in Ashgrove. We are looking forward to a competitive day and a big crowd to cheer on the 1st XIII at 1:15pm on McMahon Oval. Good luck to all players, especially the Year 12 boys playing their last games

Basketball

Ms Samantha Davids (Basketball Coordinator)

Last week our teams entered another weekend of a rollercoaster ride with many of our teams having moments of brilliance giving them victories, while a lot of our teams suffered crushing defeats.  Either way every game gives our players an opportunity to show resilience, build on their strengths and continue to develop in areas of need.

Knowing that Villanova College is one of the stronger AIC Basketball schools in the competition we were all out to start strong, and finish hard no matter what the score was and many of our teams did that with humility on the weekend.  Our Primary teams came away with no wins but the feedback from the Villanova staff was that they were the strongest competition they had played this season.

On Saturday we celebrated Indigenous round with our first teams and Villanova. We were lead with a welcome to country by Reuben Simpson one of our first nations year 11 students and Wakka Wakka Man. Then our young men performed some traditional dances from their local area accompanied by Antwone on the didgeridoo. The ceremony was also an opportunity to display the recent winning artwork from the Naidoc Jersey Competition.

The ceremony was a reminder that we are lucky to have such talent at our college and that we respect the land on which we play and recognise the wonderful contribution Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander People make to the sports we play at Marist College Ashgrove.

We thank Kierran Moseley and Taleatha Wright-Morgan (Local traditional performer and dance teacher) and the boys for their efforts in bringing together a special occasion to acknowledge and respect members of our community.

Saturday brought some rain and also some pain on the court for some of our teams suffering big losses. Until our 10Bs who came to win by 1 point, followed by the 11A’s and Frank Heenan’s buzzer-beating three-pointer, sending the crowd into a frenzy.  Which lead the way for victory for our 3rds and 2nds.  Our 2nds coming through with a 2-point lead. 

While the season so far has had its share of setbacks, the team’s ability to bounce back and deliver in high- pressure moments have been inspiring. These epic wins proved what’s possible when preparation meets passion.  With continued development and commitment to training this week our last round of games vs Padua at home looks promising.

Round 6 11A v Villanova

Jack Gibson - Coach

It was a tale of two halves for the Marist 11As against Villa. The boys started nervously, conceding an 8–0 run inside the opening two minutes, which forced an early timeout. From there, they settled into the contest but struggled to find rhythm, hanging around without closing the gap. By the end of the third quarter, Marist trailed by about 15 points and looked in trouble.

A tactical shift came in the fourth, with the introduction of a full-court press led by Ollie Peregrina, Matt Stephens, and Frank Heenan. The trio caused chaos for the Villa guards, forcing turnovers and turning steals into quick baskets. The momentum swung sharply, and Marist cut the deficit to just two points with 30 seconds to play.

The decisive moment came when Frank Heenan, brimming with confidence, pulled up from deep and splashed home a clutch three-pointer to give Marist a one-point lead. The boys held strong in the final seconds to complete a remarkable comeback, sealing the win and moving to a 5–1 record on the season, their only loss coming to top-of-the-table Iona in the opening round.

Round 6 1st V vs Villanova

Mr James Lymer - Head Coach

Building on last week’s strong performance, we approached this week’s round with the undefeated Villanova team knowing it would be a true measure of our growth and resilience ahead of CBSQ. With two of our point guards sidelined due to injury, our focus was clear: play with force on the defensive end, value the ball in the backcourt, and stay disciplined in our offensive principles. While we showed promising signs early in the game and again in the third quarter, consistency in these key areas proved to be our Achilles heel. Facing one of the strongest backcourts in the AIC, Villanova’s full-court pressure challenged our ability to execute both our actions and offensive concepts in the front court. Despite the disappointing result, the team continues to learn and grow from each experience. With one final home game against Padua College to close out the AIC season, the group remains determined to bounce back, finish on a high and carry these valuable lessons into the next phase of competition. We look forward to seeing you fill the Hive this weekend.

Jacob Cook (Captain’s Report)

In a challenging matchup, Villa dominated us with a final score of 100-42. Despite the lopsided scoreline, the game provided a valuable opportunity for our younger players in the squad to gain crucial court time and showcase their potential.

Many of the younger boys stepped up, displaying resilience and skill against a talented Villa side. Their performance was a bright spot in the game, offering a glimpse of the team’s future potential. This experience allowed the entire squad to witness firsthand the level of competition we will face in the CBSQ Division One, serving as a critical learning moment.

While the score reflects a tough day, the focus now shifts to regrouping and building on this experience.

Marist Track and Field | AIC Practice Meet #2

Another list of fantastic efforts were seen across our second practice meet with many personal bests and improved performances throughout the squad. Some incredible performances from -

• Spencer Hoddy had two excellent personal bests with big distances in both shot put and discus.
• 800m in 12 years saw some great performances from Riley Freer and Owen Ambrose. This was backed up with fast times from Ben Flanagan in 15 years with a fast time.

Tennis

Andrew Ward - Director of Tennis

Final week AIC tennis season

As we enter the last week of training for this term, I want to take a moment to thank everyone who has been part of this year’s campaign.

To our students: thank you for making the early mornings and late afternoons ones to remember with your energy, effort, and commitment. To our parents: thank you for the countless drop-offs, pick-ups, and for always getting your sons to training on time. Your support is invaluable.

Finally, to my fantastic coaching team: your dedication never goes unnoticed. You brave the cold mornings, stay late into the night, and give your best while most people are already home at dinner. Beyond teaching tennis, you are often mentors, listeners, and role models—helping our boys not only grow as players but also navigate the challenges of their teenage years.

Tennis is a sport for life. It teaches resilience, independence, and self-discovery. On court, there is no hiding—no teammates to step in, no coaching to guide you once play begins. It’s you against your opponent, point by point. At its heart, tennis is a physical game of chess, demanding focus, patience, and strategy.

Thank you all for making this season such a memorable one.

Let’s finish with a bang this week v Padua College.

AIC Round 6 vs Villanova College

 What a weekend of tennis against Villa! Our matches with them are always memorable, and over the past four seasons we’ve consistently come out on top—not only in the Firsts but right across the program. This year was no different, with Marist recording 12 wins and just 4 losses across the school.

Several ties were pushed to the wire, with four matches going to countback. True to our spirit, we fought for every point and came away with three of those four nail-biters. It’s a reminder that in tennis every game matters, and we never give up.

There were solid wins to our 10A team and 7B team, while many of the other matches could have gone either way. Of course, we’d love to win them all—but when we play to our best ability, we’ve already achieved something special.

“It doesn’t get any tighter—Year 8 A and B both winning by just one game, with the B team claiming a crucial top-of-the-table victory.”

Again our Primary teams are showing the way with all 4 teams winning and keeping a perfect season alive for the last round.

Our undefeated teams after six rounds are 5A, 5B, 6A, 6B, 8B, and 10B. The chance to secure premierships is right in front of us—let’s finish strong and bring them home this Saturday, boys!

Captain’s Report – Vs Villanova College

by Hamish Davidson

Close Victory Over Villa

This week we faced Villanova College in what turned out to be a nail-biting contest. The day opened with both schools taking one doubles match each, leaving the score locked at 1–1.

The singles followed, and again the battle was even, with each side claiming two matches apiece. With the scoreboard tied at 3–3, everything came down to the final two doubles rubbers.

The first was a tight affair, with Villa edging us out 6–3 to sneak ahead. That left the pressure on the last match—and our boys delivered in style, cruising to a 6–1 win. In the end, the overall result came down to games, and we claimed the victory by the slimmest of margins.

A special mention also goes to our 2nd and 3rd IV teams, who both recorded excellent wins against a strong and determined Villa outfit who came ready to take points. Well done to all players on stepping up when it mattered.

We now turn our focus to this weekend’s clash with Padua for the final round of the season.
