STATE SOCCER CUP
On the long weekend in June, I played in an annual soccer tournament called the Boy’s STATE CUP held at the C.Ex Stadium, Coffs Harbour. My team represented Inverell, Armidale, Gunnedah and Tamworth as the Northern Inland Football under 11’s team. We came up against some hard competition and our best result was a draw with the tournament winners [Newcastle Select]. Two things that I really enjoyed was getting ready in the new change rooms with my team and walking onto the field with the officials.
Ben Cini was also selected to play for the under 12’s and his team fought hard to be runners up. I thought this was an awesome experience and I’m already training for next year!!
These are some pictures of me and my team and also the International C.Ex Stadium Coffs!

DIOCESAN RUGBY TRIALS
Congratulations to the team that competed in the Diocesan Rugby Trials last Friday. The St Nicholas School team won the day and will now travel to Sydney to compete in the Catholic Primary Schools Rugby Knockout on Monday, 5th August 2019.
Well done to Archie Gavin, Ben Sawyer and Toby Robinson who were selected in the Armidale Diocesan team to compete at the Polding Carnival this Monday in Forbes.
CODE OF CONDUCT
As the winter sports for the year are all beginning, this is a timely reminder for players, coaches and parents of the code of conduct expected at St Nicholas.
Those parents who have very kindly volunteered to coach a team are to be listened to and all instructions to be followed by players both at training and when competing. Should you have an issue with your child's coach please speak to them privately without your children being present. Show respect for your coaches and their decisions.
Parents should not interfere or enter the playing field during a game as the on field officials should be left to adjudicate. If parents have concerns they should approach the coach at a break and not the children.
Should a player, coach or parent not respect this code of conduct while representing St Nicholas it may prevent their inclusion in teams in the future as this is not the image that we wish to portray in the wider community.
