As the term comes to a close, I would like to congratulate all the students who have been participating with enthusiasm and school spirit across a wide range of sports. Also thanks to the staff who have been putting in countless hours training and coaching our students this term.

Archdiocesan Soccer 

Tuesday 17 June Carroll College had four teams playing in the annual Archdiocesan Football Gala Day in what can only be described as ‘cold Canberra’.

Our Open Boys played three games going down in two by 1 goal to nil and a draw. The Open Girls were very unlucky not to take home 3 out of 3 wins ending the day with 2 wins and one loss. We then had our Jnr Girls team who came second in their pool on goal difference after winning two games and a draw. They then played in a final to determine 3rd place – this too ended in a draw.

The highlight of the day was our Jnr Boys team who went through their pool undefeated with no goals scored against them in their pool matches. In the last match of the day they came up against Trinity who was winner of Pool B and both teams were held to nil all at full

time. The game then went straight to penalty shoot out with the Carroll boys clinching the win 5-4. They were crowned champions!

Well done to all players who braved the freezing temperatures and represented the College with great team spirit and skill! Thanks to Mr Kennaelly, Mrs Cooper, Mrs Rudol, Mr McAteer and Mr Harding for all their coaching and managing of the teams. 

AFL - Junior Boys

Tuesday 17 June our junior boys travelled to Ulladulla to compete in the Junior school's cup.  Undermanned and under experienced, our junior boys fought valiantly against a strong Ulladulla high school. Unfortunately, the boys went down however they are to be commended on the effort and spirit displayed all day. The boys represented the school with great pride. Thanks to coach Thane for all his expertise and Mrs Tiffen for helping out on the day.

Senior Boys AFL 

On Thursday 26 June the Senior AFL boys travelled to compete in the South Coast/Illawarra Senior Boys AFL Final. The boys delivered in every aspect of the game – dominating through work rate, effort, and a strong team structure.

The results were as follows:

Game 1: A powerful start with a 8.4 (52) to 0.1 (1) win over Holy Spirit College.

Game 2: Maintained intensity to defeat Warilla High School 6.2 (38) to 1.2 ().

Grand Final: Capped off the day with a clinical 6.3 (39) to 3.1 (19) victory against Narooma High School.

The boys are to be commended on their coachable attitude and sportsmanship. They represented the college with great pride. The boys now look to move forward to a potential State Final later next term. Thanks to coach Thane and Mrs Wiggins for helping out on the day.
