WINTER SPORT TRIALS

The Diocesan Winter Sports Trials in Grafton finally went ahead this week after several postponements due to rain and floods. St Joseph's was represented by 11 very talented students in a number of different sports.

Netball: Rubi Nasorowale, Ruby Everingham, and Kalani Blanch showed some great netball skills against some very talented and tall opponents in Grafton. Unfortunately, the Tweed Zone Netball team was without its two main goal shooters, Keira Everingham and Sienna Gazal who were unable to attend due to COVID restrictions. Congratulations to Rubi, Kalani, and Ruby who not only showed great skill but also great resilience and strength of character as they not only played without their two shooters but also had to cope without their coach who was also prevented from attending due to COVID restrictions. Well done girls on a great effort.

11 Years Rugby League: Blake Millar, Kalan Noakes, Max Godfrey, Jack McCoy, and Ryley Taylor made up the Tweed Zone Rugby League Team. The boys were undefeated in Grafton, showing exceptional football skills along with great sportsmanship on the field. Blake, Ryley, and Max progressed through to the Possibles and Probables, with Blake going on to gain selection in the Lismore Diocesan team. Blake will now travel to Bathurst next term to compete at the Polding Trials. Well done to all boys on a great effort and best of luck to Blake at the Polding Trials.

Soccer: Ocean Wilkes is competing at the soccer trials in Grafton today, good luck Ocean.
