Polding Touch Football Trials

 

On Tuesday this week The Polding Touch Football trials were held in Parkes, NSW. I had the pleasure of attending these trials as the girls Manager. The trials were very competitive and the sportsmanship was wonderful. We had one student, Lucy Bible participate as a member of the Armidale Diocesan Team. Unfortunately she didn't progress to the Polding team but played fantastically with wonderful effort and enthusiasm. She should be proud of her efforts.

Polding Swimming Carnival

On Thursday 30th March, Daniel Ivannikov competed in the Polding Swimming Carnival at Homebush Aquatic Centre in Sydney.  Daniel improved his personal best time and is looking forward to training to improve his times for next year. Congratulations Daniel.
