Year 9 Lightning Cup Sports Day with St Patrick's College
Last Wednesday our Year 9 classes participated in a Lightning Cup Sports Day with St Patrick’s College. Students participated or assisted with a sport, using game play, strategy and tactics that they have been exploring in HPE class.
The basketball team, competing at the Unigym, were faced with a tough challenge against a strong St Pats unit. The team battled hard and played with good spirits right to the end, but were defeated 71 – 36. Top scorers were Ruby Erin and Cleo Bortkiewicz.
Two games of netball were played in divisions at the Hobart Netball and Sports Centre. With soccer cancelled due to the rain, the soccer team also travelled to Creek Road to participate in futsal and cheer on the netballers.
The division one group had a very strong start, leading 21 - 4 at half time. The division two group were finding the going tough, with many students trying netball for the first time, and trailing 0 – 22 at half time. With fantastic team spirit and sportsmanship, some division one players swapped teams to help out the division two team. The confidence of the players lifted and the game play steadily improved. Some soccer players joined in with the division one team and surprised themselves with their netball ability. The division one team finished with a 36 – 20 win and the division two team a 34 - 10 loss.
