NSWPSSA U12 Hockey Championships

5 hockey superstars recently spent a week at Newcastle participating in the NSWPSSA U12 Hockey Championships playing in the boy's MacKillop team.

Tommy Picker of Year 5 played goalkeeper and was outstanding, keeping a clean sheet for all round games and the semi-final. The highlight for Tommy was his fabulous save of a stroke in the grand final.

Sebastian Cummins of Year 6 played a defender and improved so much with each game. He was calm under pressure, strong in tackles and had a mean clearance out of defence.

Emmett McIntosh of Year 6 played a defender and was rock solid all week. His ability to evade players coming out of defence and hard work was him rewarded with the MacKillop Players Player award.

Ollie Croker of Year 6 was co-captain and the team's key striker. His ability to create havoc in the attacking half and score from multiple positions had him come away as the highest goal-scorer for the week.

Henry Galland of Year 6 was also co-captain and played our defensive midfield. Henry controlled our defence, set up our attack and ensured the team played with width and direction of play.

The MacKillop team was undefeated in the round games and beat Far North Coast in the semi-final. With a one-hour turnaround between the semi and the final, meant the MacKillop boys were running on very tired legs and bodies. However, this did not stop them working hard and coming away with a very narrow 2/1 loss in the final to Polding, in what is quite possibly one of the best finals games featured in the past few years. The boys were deservedly rewarded with a silver medal.

Huge congratulations to Henry and Ollie who were selected in the NSWPSSA team. They will now travel to Cairns in August to participate in the Australian All Schools U12 National Championships.

MacKillop Cross Country

A team of 5 runners travelled to the Sydney Equestrian Centre last week as part of the Canberra Goulburn Cross Country team.

It was perfect running conditions for our athletes, with the rain just holding off.

All of our runners gave it 100% and should be extremely proud of themselves, just as we are of them.

The results are as follows:

Will Waldron placed 8th in the 12/13 year boys. 

Ollie Croker placed 23rd in the 12/13 year boys

Cooper Sims placed 30th in the 8/9 year boys

Imogen Hewitt placed 38th in the 11yr girls. 

Henry Galland placed 43rd in the 12/13 year boys.

The CECG team won the bronze medal in both the 11 year girls and the 12/13 year boys.

MacKillop Soccer Trials

Congratulations to Eli Cooper and Chase Lucock who trialled for the MacKillop soccer team. Although the boys were not successful in gaining selection, they were able to develop their skills and come away with some new drills and techniques to share with their peers. We are proud of you boys.
