CHS Opens Girls Netball Knockout
A team of Cowra High students competed in Orange. Our girls played against Blayney first up and narrowly lost. Our second and third games were very convincing wins against Orange High (2) and Canobolas High School. We also had 4 girls trial for Western, Alannah Knight, Bree Moodie, Zara McKenzie and Lucy Pattingale. Congratulations to all the girls for their conduct and sportsmanship. A big thankyou to Lillee Felton who umpired for our team on the day also.
CHS Open Girls Cricket Knockout
Our Open Cricket team put on a great display of sportsmanship and skill against Wellington High School on Monday 4 March. Our girls scored an impressive 71 runs in the first innings. Unfortunately, Wellington were very quick to chase our score and were victorious over our team. The teacher from Wellington congratulated our girls on their excellent conduct and sportsmanship, always supporting each over in the field, so well done Cowra High School!
A big thank you to Lewis McFarland and Darcy Callaghan for assisting with umpiring and scoring on the day.
