Bill Turner Football
On Friday 29 March the boys' Under 15 Football players competed in Round 1 of the Bill Turner Cup Football against Carinya Christian School of Tamworth. In a great game of Football, the boys came away with a 3-1 victory. It was a really solid team effort with each player contributing to the success of the team. Their passing and ball control was very good and the boys were well in control of the game against a committed opponent. A big thank you to Mr Ronny Rindo who has been training and coaching the players. We now look forward to the Round 2 game, which will be played on Monday, 13 May.
The team included; Brayden Boonstra, Kilian Apen, Eoin Shepherd, William Albertson, Jack Stanton, Brady Painter, Augustin Monet, Connor Budden, Louis Johnson, Benjamin O’Connor, Ethan Ross, Achille Monet, Seamus Shepherd, Edward Williams and Frederick Williams

NSW Northern Rugby League trials
On Wednesday 3 April, Clay Frendin and Nicholas Taggart represented the Armidale/Lismore Diocese at the Northern Open’s Rugby League trials at Smithtown. Clay played well in the limited opportunities he had, and was very unlucky to miss out on higher selection. Clay’s dedication to training and fitness will mean that he will have a big future in the game. Nicholas played really well in the trials, and was heavily involved. His strong performance resulted in his selection in the Northern NSW Opens team to compete in the NSW CCC Rugby League Championships later in the term. Congratulations to both players who represented McCarthy Catholic College with pride at this high level.
Bill Turner Shield
On Monday 8 April, the Under 15 Bill Turner Shield girls' Football team travelled to Oxley High School to compete against Oxley. Many girls who were not regular players stepped in and acquitted themselves well. Oxley High School had an experienced team and were run away winners, but our girls can be proud of the manner in which they played and the sportsmanship that they showed.
Again thank you to Mr Ronny Rindo for volunteering his time in coaching the team. The team included; Lauren Daye, Jazmyn Pearson, Erin Allan, Clare Cavallaro, Clementine Monet, Tayla Johnson, Abigail Burr, Emma Percy, Matilda Barton and Mackensey Kerr.
