BASKETBALL SEMESTER 2
The new season of Basketball began on Thursday 7 August. Most teams are already fully registered and are therefore eligible to play their first game. This Semester we have purchased beautiful new reversible basketball singlets. These singlets will be given out to most of the teams this Semester. Due to an influx of players there will be some junior teams who will still wear the current singlets.
PSSA RUGBY
Well done to Max Collett who was in Newcastle last week competing with the Polding rugby squad at the PSSA Rugby Carnival. The team came equal third at the carnival which unfortunately ended early due to bad weather.
