Year 8 Footy Report
On Friday the 20th of July, the CSC Year 7 & 8 boys’ footy team made the journey to Marist College at Maiden Gully to compete in the Year 8 Sandhurst zone footy carnival. Unfortunately we only had 17 players with some players unable to play through injury or, even more unfortunately, pulling out of the team without letting the selectors know.
Despite giving our all we were overwhelmed and well beaten in all three of our games. Best players on the day were: Austin Peace, Mitch Smolak, Dan Chaplin and Xavior Noy. All the boys really had a red hot go and a crack.
Game 1.
Crusoe SC 8-8-52 d CSC 1-3-9
Game 2.
Marist Catholic College 11-9.75 d CSC 0-0-0 (ouch)
Game 3.
Catherine McCauley Catholic College d CSC 1-3-9
Thank you to all the boys who committed and came along, Harley Muscat for coaching us, Beau Brackely for umpiring and Mr Lourey and Mr Edwards for taking us.

Outstanding Result Piper!
Piper Albrecht of year 11 continues to preform at a top level and we thought we would share his latest achievements. Maybe we will see him in the tour one day!
He won the State Championships in cyclo-cross last weekend in Beechworth. He is also State Champion in MTBA cross country (which he won in February) and National Champion in the MTBA Marathon which he won in Townsville in April.
Senior Boys Netball
Bendigo Senior Vs Castlemaine
A nervous Castlemaine team came up against a confident Bendigo Senior side on the 20th July held here at school. Castlemaine came out strong in the first quarter despite their nerves, and managed to carry the momentum throughout the game. Despite a late come back from Bendigo Senior, Castlemaine finished the game on top with a three point lead.
On completion of the game the boys had not only won the ‘Calder Cup’ for the second time in history, but they advanced through to the Loddon Mallee Regional finals against Kyabram College in Echuca.
The regional finals started off with a strong Kyabram run and despite the hard work and determination of the Castlemaine team, Kyabram came through with a convincing win. The Castlemaine boys left Echuca disappointed but in high spirits. Thanks to coaches Rachelle McLean and Brianna Pedretti and Bonnie McGubbin for umpiring.

Year 7 Girls
The Year 7/8 basketball teams took a bus from Castlemaine to the Bendigo stadium. The team included Marni Frye, Issy Fiddes, Alisha Murley, Emma Giddings, Siana Nunan, Shania Kitchingman, Eve Parker and Ashleigh Dunn.
The year seven girls started off strong with wins against East Loddon and Weeroona. The third game was a loss to Catherine McAuley College. This was enough to get us through to the semi final against Girton. Unfortunately we lost there but they were the overall winners on the day. Thankyou to Mr Frye for coaching us on the day.

Year 8 Girls
On Wednesday 1st August the year 8 girls went to Bendigo to play in the Sandhurst Basketball competition. Our first game was against Eaglehawk. We only had four players so some of the year sevens played as well. It was a good game but we lost by one point. We then played Catherine McAuley College and we lost by a lot. Our final game against Weeroona was probably our best. We won by a lot and we all played really well. It was a fun day out. We thank Abbie and Rachael for coaching us on the day.
