Game 1 v. Wheelers Hill SC
Brentwood 8.10.58 to WHSC 0.0.0
Goals: Emily McLaren 4, Ellie Stratikopoulos 2, Olivia Durbridge 1, Lisa Peacock 1.

Senior Girls’ Basketball
An outstanding effort by the Brentwood Senior Girls’ Basketball team saw them win the Flag on the 7th of May. The girls only had five players, but won all three of their games against Wheelers Hill and John Monash Teams A and B.
Looking forward to seeing what they can do at the EMR in August.
Well done, girls!

All Schools Cross Country
Last weekend we had a team of 4 students who competed at the All Schools cross country relay championships held at Jells Park. The “All Schools” competition included schools from the government system to the most elite private schools in Victoria. So the competition was really tough. Seb Eitzen, Josh Jensen, Luke Molinaro and Spencer Storan each completed a 3km leg for the relay and won the Bronze medal (6 seconds off the Silver medal!) in the 16 years age group. A huge achievement and we are very proud of them!
