Sporting success

Year 7 Boys Cricket team

Interschool sport has started

This week saw the beginning of our Sporting Year with Cricket being played at Donath Reserve in Keon Park.  Our first teams to participate in the Divisional Competition were our Year 7 Boys teams.  With a large number of boys wanting to represent NHS we had enough players to enter 2 teams into the Competition.  Our NHS A team finished off the day as outright winners, defeating Northcote B and Thornbury. This now qualifies them to play in the Regionals which are to be played in Term 4. 

 

We would like to thank our student coaches, Ted Wearn -Jarvis, Alex Johnston and Thomas Downes-Hunt. We would also like to send out a big thank you to Mr Price. At of the end of Term 1 Mr Price will be retiring from Northcote High School. He will be missed greatly by school community as a whole. It was great for the boys to have a win as this could possibly be his last team that he will be coach at NHS.

 

Our Year 7 Girls automatically move through to the Regionals in Term 4, due to having no other teams in our Division entered.

 

Our Year 8 Boys team also had success at our Divisional competition.  They easily defeated an undermanned Reservoir side and then went on to win in a close match against Thornbury. The 2 wins making them outright winners for the day and qualified them for the Regional Comp in Term 4. Thank you to Mr Flight and Luke Williams for coaching the team.

 

Our Year 8 Girls team had a very close match against Thornbury but unfortunately,  the girls just couldn’t quite catch Thornbury to only lose by 4 runs.  Thank you to our student coaches, Rory Bennie and Jaimie Spangher.
