10-12 Indoor Cricket

At Magdalene, we appear to be in a Golden era of Indoor Cricket, with these gentlemen making the finals every year for 4 seasons- and this year they wanted to make up for their blip on the radar last year (with most being in year 10, the odds were stacked against them, but they were still disappointed). Despite being full to the brim with talent this season has had its ups and down. A tie against John Therry and defending some low scores throughout the season had this coach’s BPM rising. 

However the boys left their best to last, with a dominant 105-32 win against last year’s Premier’s Macarthur Anglican. It was nice to see things fall into place. Some notable highlights of the season:

• James Tidy’s athletic back net fielding saved countless runs
• When a perfect leg break lands, it's like poetry, and Zac Condon sent down more than his fair share
• Jake Murray’s keeping was sublime at times, with silky glovework and light speed reactions
• James Sinfield controlled many of our final skins, batting sensibly and cleverly in every innings. 
• Will Morris pushing off the corner for that extra yard of pace, scattering the spring loaded stumps
• Koby Hamilton-Jones hitting the back net over and over with superb timing
• Joel Parish, who seemed to forget to shave on game days, towering over his opponents, and gently pushing bouncers down for fun
• Owen Hart showing you don’t need a glove for catching!
• Jake Sawyer, bowling several clicks faster than the opposition expected
• Nathan Strode who improved every time he walked out to bad, making valuable contributions

Well done lads, a very enjoyable season.

7-9 Girls' Soccer

Whilst the season started well for the girls with a resilient 4-3 comeback victory against John Therry the poor weather and washouts meant momentum was hard to come by. The next round saw a depleted squad fall 3-1 to Mt Carmel and in spite of holding the undefeated St Pats to 0-0 until the last minute we would ultimately concede 2 goals in the final minute and a half which meant in spite of 2 strong 3-0 results in the final rounds (1 a forfeit) we were unable to ultimately compete for 1st place.

The girls played exemplary football in what was a very newly put together team playing an unfamiliar 4-3-3. Credit especially to our Year 7 contingent  (Mia Perez, Zoe Newcombe & Sabela Moyo) who were important parts of a team against primarily Year 9 opposition. It was a pleasure to work with the whole squad and a disappointment that the wash-outs prevented us from having a genuine finals series to end the season.

9/10 Boys Soccer

This term the boys played well as a team but unfortunately didn't come away with consistent results. We were on the wrong end of some close games but it was positive to recognise the boys always tried their best and worked to the end of each game. Well done to all students involved and special mention to Tuni Moyo in goals and to Riley Quinn who was the most consistent player throughout the season.

U/15 Rugby League

Magdalene Catholic College's MISA U15s Boys Rugby League played a very successful Term 3 season. Each week, all students represented the College to the highest standard, in their athleticism, team spirit, fair play and sportsmanship. In particular, congratulations to Dane, Cooper and Lincoln who had the highest overall with the 3-2-1 system as Most Valuable Players. Magdalene Catholic College finished 2nd overall to John Therry Catholic College after a washout in a previous round prevented the Finals from proceeding.

Year 9/10 Netball

Our Year 9/10 Netball team enjoyed a remarkable season, going through undefeated all the way to the grand final. Even with several injuries throughout the year, the girls showed resilience, determination, and teamwork each week, representing the school with pride. In the grand final, they fought hard in a close contest, eventually going down 27–21 to St Patricks’s Catholic College. Overall, it was a fantastic season and a true reflection of the players’ collective commitment, spirit, and sportsmanship.

Year 7/8 Netball

Our Year 7/8 netball team had an incredible season, going through undefeated and finishing it off in style with a dominant 30–8 grand final win over Mount Carmel Catholic College. The team worked cohesively across the court, showcasing skill, determination, and fantastic sportsmanship. Special mention goes to our shooters, who were on point with their accuracy, our mid-court players, who created space and delivered the ball beautifully into the semi-circle, and our defenders, whose outstanding communication and numerous intercepts set up our strong lead. It was a well-deserved victory and a brilliant way to cap off a perfect season.
