Cochrane Cup 2018
On Wednesday 6th June, forty secondary students travelled to Armidale to participate in Cochrane Cup in Netball and Rugby League.
The Rugby League boys had some tough opposition and played some hard football against the four other secondary schools in our diocese. A massive congratulations to Layne Raveneau for being selected to attend the U15’s Armidale Diocesan Rugby League trials early in 2019.
Three girls' teams also competed at the Lynches Road netball courts on that day.
The 9/10 girls won three of their five matches, playing some great netball in terrible conditions.
The 7/8 teams had some tough competition, with the A team coming away with one win.
Well done to the students who displayed great sportsmanship and represented St Philomenas with pride.
