Intermediate Girl’s Netball

On Friday the 21st June two teams of year 9 and 10 girls competed at Waverley Netball Centre in the Monash division netball tournament. Both teams played against teams from John Monash, Wellington, South Oakleigh and Wheelers Hill. Both teams displayed fantastic sportsmanship and enthusiasm throughout the day and should be commended for their efforts on the day.

The A team played at a very high level all day and worked together tremendously all day despite an interrupted training schedule. They started the day off strong, winning 31-4 in their first game against John Monash. Their dominance continued with a 52-4 win over Wellington. The girls showing that they worked together like a well-oiled machine from the defensive end down to the shooters. This continued into the third game against South Oakleigh with the A team winning 46-3. They entered their fourth and final game having only had 11 points scored against them at that stage. The final game was against Wheelers Hill, who were also coming into the game undefeated. With the winner going through the EMR round. The girls were nervous to begin with and had a few clumsy mistakes but the defensive unit of team Kaitlyn and Caitlin held strong in the goal circle against two sharp shooters from Wheelers Hill. Forcing them into making mistakes and the outstanding midcourt of Hayley, Ella, Tilly, Olivia S and Amelia working it up into the shooters. Chelsea, Olivia R, Jorja and Bridget all made key shots when under the pump from Wheelers Hill. The girls were able to capitalise on the mistakes of the other team and utilise them to their advantage. The match finishing with a win to Brentwood 28-15, with the result being more one sided than the game appeared from watching. Even one of the Brentwood girls thinking they had lost.

The B team also had a very successful day with outstanding coaching from student coaches Lara and Annabelle. The team did not lose a game and only had 16 points scored against them all day. They started the day off with a 36-5 win against John Monash, followed by a 34-1 win against Wellington. They showed their dominance against a C team from Wheelers Hill winning 46-0 and finishing off the day with their final win against Wheelers Hill B 23-10. The team should be extremely proud about how they played throughout the day!

Congratulations to both teams and good luck to the A team when they compete in the Eastern Metro Region finals on the 9th of August!

Special thanks to Charlotte Durbridge who came as a scorer because she could not play due to injury.

EMR XC

The EMR cross country was held last week on Tuesday in true cross country conditions – cold,

miserable and wet. However, our runners blocked out the conditions and ran their best and our overall school results were amazing. The team that qualified from the Monash Division XC had been training twice a week before school with Carla Caminiti and Eliza Chancellor, and they were fed a well-earned bacon & eggs breakfast after each training session.

We had teams (consist of top 4 students) on the podium all day. So lots of medals came back to school!

13 years boys – 1st

13 years girls – 4th

14 years boys – 2nd

14 years girls – 2nd

15 years boys – 1st

15 years girls – 3rd

16 years boys – 6th

17 -20 girls – 5th

A special mention to :

Eric Trinkle - 16 yr 5km event – won the race one minute ahead of 2nd place in a time of 16.42min (his time would have won and blitzed the 17-20 age group)

Alex Vujmilovic – 13 yr 3km event – came 2nd with a sprint finish only just pipped at the post.

Spencer Storan – 14 yr 3km event – placed 2nd in his event

We have 16 students qualify for the SSV State XC Championships on Thursday July 18. (Students in bold below)

Intermediate Boy’s Badminton

The level of interest to make the Brentwood Intermediate boys badminton team is extremely high. We had a number of selection trial sessions with a large number of students that were extremely competitive. We finally decided on our strongest two teams who competed at the Monash Division round robin day last week. All schools in our region fielded teams to compete, which is fantastic!

The A team started the day with a bye and a good chance to warm up and to watch the competition. The A team them had 4 matches to win if they wanted to progress to EMR. They won against Wheelers Hill 6-0, South Oakleigh 6-0 and Wellington 5-1. In our last match, both Brentwood and John Monash Science School were undefeated throughout the day. So the winner between these two teams would progress to EMR. The Brentwood A team played so well and won 4-2. Well done!

The B team also had a full draw with the inclusion of a mixed team. There were 5 games to win today. The B team defeated Wheelers Hill B 6-0, Wellington B 5-1, South Oakleigh mixed team 6-0, South Oakleigh B 5-1, and John Monash Science School. Brentwood’s B team also won their pool of teams. Well done!

A team members – Richard Pham, Ian Kim, Nicholas The, Davin Cheng, Dustin Kim

B team members – Andrew Park, Jasper Chen, Dinesh Mohan, Jun Gao, Isaac Lee

Best of luck at the EMR finals on Friday August 2.
