On the Thursday the 23rd June, our Year 5 and 6 students travelled to Matthews Netball Centre and Wembley Sports Complex in Jolimont, to compete in the annual Winter Lightning Carnival.
I would like to give a special thank you to the following people for helping out on the day by taking a team, without your help the students would not have been able to participate.
- Mrs Willesee and Mrs Rimmer for taking the Netball Team
- Mr Bovell for taking the AFL Team
- Mrs O’Donnell for taking the Soccer Team
- All the parents and spectators who came down to watch.
Overall, there were some strong results in all three sports.
In Soccer, the team ended up having 2 wins and 2 losses for the day. The boys ended up scoring a total of 9 goals, which put them in 3rd place overall.
In AFL, the team played the day 2 players short and still managed to smile and put up a good fight against each team they played. Overall the team ended up scoring a total of 202 points for the day and ended up with 1 win and 5 losses, which placed them 6th overall out of the 7 schools.
Across the road at Matthews Netball Centre, the netball girls scored a total of 29 goals, they had 3 wins and 3 losses, which at the end of the day placed the girls 3rd overall.
Well done to everyone who played, you were amazing and did St Dominic’s proud.
