SACCSS Junior Boys Hockey Champions

Congratulations to our boys hockey team who won the SACCSS Junior Boys Hockey Tournament last Friday. 

The team, made up of students in years 7, 8, and 9, played at the Footscray Hockey Club in the one-day competition.

They showed excellent sportsmanship and were very strategic in their gameplay.

The first game was against Emmanuel College, with CRC Melton winning 5-0. After a five-minute break, the team played Caroline Chisholm Catholic College, with the final score 0-0.

The third game saw the boys win against St Monica’s College 2-0, securing a spot in the finals. They anxiously awaited their opponents and intently watched the game between Caroline Chisholm and MacKillop, the winner of which would also be in the finals.

Caroline Chisholm won a penalty shootout, allowing them to progress into the finals against CRC Melton.

The final game was intense, without a shot scored in the first half. At half time, the team planned their playing strategies, determined to shoot a goal in the second half so that they did not have to determine a win via a penalty shootout. Two magnificent goals were scored in the second half securing a win for CRC Melton!

Well done to captain Jonah Hermence who undoubtedly led and organised the team, encouraging them at every opportunity. We witnessed a true leader in action on the day.

Not only did the team walk away with championship medals but Year 9 student Findlay Donachie was voted best on ground by umpires on the day.

Congratulations and well-done boys!

SACCSS Junior Girls Hockey tournament

The skill and determination of our Junior Girls Hockey team saw them draw in their final game against MacKillop College during Friday’s SACCSS tournament.

Despite two straight losses the girls regrouped and gave it their all to keep MacKillop scoreless.

They really got into the game, developed some great hockey skills, and communicated well as a team.

We congratulate them on a fantastic effort.
