Term 2 MISA Wrap Up

Congratulations to our Year 7, 8, 9 Basketball team on being named Interzone Champions for 2019!

Year 7, 8, 9 MISA Basketball Interzone Champions

Year 7, 8, 9 Basketball

After a fantastic season which saw the girls winning the East Zone final against John Therry, the team then went on to represent the East Zone at the Interzone finals. The girls showed their class in the first game taking a hard fought win against Wollondilly Anglican College 44-32. The girls then outclassed the North Zone team quite convincingly winning 42-12 which earned them the title of Overall Interzone Champions. This result was quite remarkable considering the team is still quite young but played well beyond their years under the guidance of super coach Mrs Nash.

The team consisted of Sienna T, Ava H, Fale’ofa A, Jaqueline C, Charlie C, Mia F, Amelia M, Sarah W, Charlotte F and Katarina S. Coach Mrs Nash.

Year 10, 11, 12 Cricket

Much like the basketballers, the cricketers also had a fantastic season going through undefeated, enabling them to qualify for the Interzone final. Unfortunately, the girls had an off day with the bat and the ball and lost both games to their North and West rivals. A disappointing way to end the season considering the girls set such a high standard for themselves but they should be content in the fact that they represented themselves and the College with distinction regardless of the results.

The team consisted of Bridie B, Minduli T, Eilidh C, Rachael T, Rebecca O, Emilee O, Stephanie M, Rachael W, Brooke K, Alysha B and Stephanie E. Coach Mrs Lawrence.

Year 11, 12 Netball

Our netball girls had a fantastic season going through the round games undefeated and finishing in first place. Unfortunately, they stumbled in the East Zone Grand final going down to a very determined Magdalene team. Contributing to the result was the fact they played a player short due to a number of injuries as well as students being unavailable for the final. Again, it was a disappointing way to end the season, but the girls were outstanding ambassadors for the College and will be even stronger as we head into the rep netball season. It should also be noted that due to some confusion around the age groups for netball season, St Pat's played eight Year 10 students in the Year 11/12 competition which just goes to show how talented our students are.

The team consisted of Hannah S, Maya B, Chantel S, Amadee T, Evana S, Brianna C, Kassandra S, Olivia F, Piper A and Eva B. Coach Mrs Arena.

Year 10, 11, 12 Soccer

With a number of factors working against this team, including injury and the availability of players, the girls showed great determination and spirit to finish 4th overall in the East Zone. The girls learnt a lot over the term and will be better for the experience in the years to come. Special mention should go to the senior players most notably Andrea M, Tara B and Cecilia P, who gave 110% every week even when the odds were stacked against them. 

The team consisted of Amelia M, Chantelle D, Julia P, Emily-Jane U, Emily A, Tara B, Emily M, Andrea M, Cecilia P, Emma G, Sarah P, Sophie M. Coach Mr East.

Year 7,8,9 Frisbee

2019 was the first time St Pat's would play Ultimate Frisbee in the MISA competition. Added to this was the fact it was a mixed competition which saw the girls competing against boys on a weekly basis. The interest in playing frisbee for the College was quite overwhelming with over 30 girls attending trials which meant the team selected was very strong. While the girls put up a strong fight in all their games, the advantage gained by other schools having four boys in the team made it a massive obstacle for the girls to overcome in order to get a win. While they pushed all schools to the limit, the girls were unable to get a win for the season but were absolutely outstanding in the way they played and participated. There is no doubt that when the competition moves to a single sex sport, the girls will prove to be extremely tough competition for their rivals.

The team consisted of Annabelle M, Siena B, Jordanne M, Hannah R, Darcy E, Breanna R, Amy Y, Faith R, Carrera K, Amy W, Olivia H, Summer D and Amelia B. Coach Ms Wallin.
