NWJFU Girls Football听
The team continue their winning ways in the Western Conference, remaining undefeated through their 4 matches. There have been strong wins against Smithton in Smithton, and against Parklands this week (19.5.119 – 0.0.0) in some challenging weather conditions! The girls have showed resilience and teamwork and will now play host to local rivals Wynyard High School next week, to decide the top of the Western Conference. The winning team will progress through to face Eastern Conference Winner Sheffield High School.听
NSATIS Netball听
Round 5 matches saw the 1sts team have a strong win over Launceston Christian School 44-21, whilst the 2nds handed a narrow loss to St Patricks Gold 21-30. Round 6 saw top-of-the-table St Pats 1sts and 2nds team visit MRC. 听St Pats were too strong running out winners in both games, but they were pushed all the way by our MRC girls. 听
With the 1sts team finishing 4th on the ladder, and the 2nds finishing 3rd at the conclusion of roster matches, both teams have qualified for the Semi-Finals. These matches are to be hosted at St Patrick鈥檚 College next week, as they fight for the right to play for an NSATIS title. Good luck to our teams!听

Difficult weather conditions have plagued the soccer teams鈥� matches, and it was a busy fortnight with a catch-up game against Launceston Grammar, home games against Launceston Christian, and St Patrick鈥檚 College home matches. The Boys team managed to get their second win of the season on the board over St Patrick鈥檚 College Green 鈥� 3 鈥� 1, with goals being scored by Harrison J, Cooper P and Tyrese A. The Boys final round match will be against local rivals St Brendan Shaw in Devonport, whilst the Girls team will host Scotch Oakburn College.听
