Junior

Year 5/6 Netball and Touch Football Parents

There has been some miscommunication in the College community about the selection processes for Primary School Netball and Touch Football Teams for the upcoming QLD All Schools Carnivals. Please see the information below on how each of the teams will be selected. College staff members will be organising all teams. If parents are needed to assist in any way you will be directly approached at a later date.

Netball

Three netball teams are attending the Catholic Schools Carnival in Toowoomba on Thursday 1 August. From this carnival two teams will be selected to attend the QLD Primary Schools Cup at Maroochydore on 14-15 September. The number one team will play in Division 1 at the QLD Primary Schools Cup and the second team will play Division 2. Girls from Year 5 or Year 6 may be selected in either team. There are a few girls who are unavailable to attend the Catholic Schools Carnival next week, but will still be available for selection for QLD Primary Schools Cup as they have been training with the teams in the lead up to the carnival. All girls selected to attend the QLD Primary Schools cup will be notified in Week 4.

Touch Football

Teams to attend the SWQ All Schools Carnival in Dalby on Sunday 20 October and the QLD All Schools Carnival at Redlands on 9-10 November have not yet been selected. Students who are playing in the Dalby Junior Touch Competition on Wednesday afternoons have not been pre-selected in College All Schools Touch Football Terms as the College has had zero input into the selection of teams for the Wednesday afternoon Club Competition. Students do not have to play Junior Club Touch Football to be eligible for selection for either of the All Schools Carnivals. Depending on numbers either Boys, Girls and/or Mixed Teams may be selected. Trials to select teams to attend both carnivals will be held in August. This is ample time to prepare for both competitions.

Senior

Rugby Union

On Monday night Hugh Clarke, Mitch Portbury, Bailey Cleary, Declan Crothers, Brayden Hughes, Lachlan Wilkins and Sam Gillespie were part of a combined Dalby Barbarians team that played a touring England Schoolboys team at the Dalby Wheatmen Grounds. This was a fantastic opportunity for our boys to compete against an international touring team.

Darling Downs Super 4 Rugby Union Competition

The College has gained a place in the Inaugural Darling Downs Super 4 Schools Rugby Competition involving Scots Warwick, Faith Lutheran Plainlands and a combined Toowoomba Barbarians Team (Mary MacKillop, St Josephs, Toowoomba Anglican). Away games will be played on Wednesday nights in Toowoomba with home games on Friday nights in Dalby over the next six weeks. Round 1 games begin next Wednesday night in Toowoomba against Scots College Warwick in the Under 13, Under 15 and Open Age Groups. Any boys wanting to play need to see Mr Routley.

Rugby League

Yesterday the College played Rugby League games against St John’s Roma. After a tight first half in the Under 13 game Roma ran out winners 14-4. The Under 15 boys game was the second stage of the Statewide GIO Cup Competition as St John’s Roma / Wallumbilla won the South West QLD Competition and OLSCC won the Darling Downs Competition last term. After conceding the opening try Roma dominated the remainder of the first half to lead 24-4 at halftime. In true College spirit our boys lifted in the second half and narrowed the score to 34-30 with 3 minutes remaining, with Roma scoring on the siren to win the game by ten points. Our boys were happy with their second half efforts but understood a poor first half cost them any chance of victory. A huge thanks to Derek Brady for coaching the Under 15 Boys this season and to Debbie Welsh for providing first aid. Thanks to Ryan Welsh, Lachlan Sankey and Josh Hart for officiating in all home games.
