BISSA Cross Country 2019
On Monday 13 May 2019, 22 students left school at 7:00 am and travelled to Narrandera Racecourse to compete in the BISSA Cross Country carnival. The weather was perfect for a day out and a run with comfortable temperatures and plenty of sunshine.
They all competed to the best of their ability striving for personal best. We had many students finish in the top 10, and ten students qualified to go on to CIS Cross Country in Sydney.

Sun Country Cup Report
On Tuesday 7 May, Moama Anglican Grammar Year 11 & 12 AFL boys trekked over to the Moama Oval to go to war against Rochester Secondary College and Echuca College in a day of brutal football. The first game was against Rochester Secondary, who proved to be a formidable opponent, as they kicked 6 goals to Moama Anglican Grammar’s 1 point. After a half-time rev up from Coach Cadd, students came out hard with the inside mids Hayden James and Nick Farr-Jones starring through the mid-field. Some great forward pressure from Brenton Urbaniak resulted in Moama Anglican Grammar’s only goal for the match.
The second game was against Moama Anglican Grammar’s fierce rivals, Echuca College. The boys came out strong, kicking 1 goal in the first half, from skipper Hayden James on the left from 40m. The second half saw the boys continue to fight hard to win the game.
Thank you to Mr Greg Cadd for coaching and organising the boys and Mr Alan Aylward for umpiring the day.
