Wiburd Shield Cricket

Calrossy took on a strong Carinya team the Wiburd Shield last week. Calrossy won the toss and elected to bat, losing an early wicket in clear conditions. Max Judd steadied the ship with a stoic 29 alongside Harrison Hamilton who scored 24. Charlie Pickens took control with a solid 28 that saw Calrossy steady at 3 for 96. The next few overs were a disaster as Calrossy dropped to 6 for 114 and then shortly after 8 for 121. Hudson Clunus and A Davidson hung on for a 30-run partnership to bring the score to 155 before the loss of the last two wickets leaving Calrossy with 162 to defend. A poor showing in the field and an experienced Carinya top 3 saw wickets hard to come by as Carinya coasted to the target with only 3 wickets down. A tough loss for a young Calrossy team who will no doubt be back for more in next year’s tournament. 

HRIS Basketball 

Calrossy 5/6 Basketball team travelled to Newcastle for the HRIS Primary Basketball Gala Day. The team was excellent in a very competitive tournament. The boys won two of their 5 matches to place equal 9th. Thanks to Mr Chambers and Mr Chambers for accompanying the team.

ISHE 

Calrossy students were once again exceptional at the Inter Schools Horse Extravaganza (ISHE) earlier this month. ISHE is arguably the most prestigious schools horse event in Australia. With record numbers in 2023, it remains the largest school horse sports event in the Southern Hemisphere and is attended by schools from all over the country. Calrossy fielded an amazing 45 riders from the Junior School through to a Yr 12 rider.

The standout performances came from Reese Spencer-Ruddy, who placed 1st and 2nd in the 2* One Day Event. This event involves three phases, including dressage, cross country, and show jumping with heights at an extraordinary 1.15m. Kate Brand continued her outstanding performance in Horse Sports, winning Champion Lightweight Hack in the Show Riding Discipline, as well as winning her Rider Class. Pippa Cullen was awarded the Champion Heavyweight Hack, and also in the Show Riding discipline, she won the Champion Hunter Galloway as well as taking home the 50cm ODE. Matilda Alderton placed first in the 50cm Combined Training, and also won her Rider Class. Olivia Gostelow won the Overall 110cm Champion and the Overall Senior Show Jumping Champion.

Calrossy had students qualify riders into each of the three supreme classes of the Show Horse discipline, with Kate Brand and Matilda Alderton riding off for Supreme Rider. Pippa Cullen and Kate Brand rode off for Supreme Hack, and Pippa Cullen rode off for Supreme Hunter Hack.

We extend our thanks to the many parents that supported their own students and the wider Calrossy and Tamworth Community. We also thank Team Manager Mrs Kath de Jong
