Polding Rugby Union Trials
The Polding Rugby Union Trials were held on Monday 26th June in Forbes. Zavier Zorzo was a part of the Lismore Diocesan team that won all of their games throughout the day.
Despite the freezing cold conditions, Zavier thoroughly enjoyed the experience. He defended extremely well throughout the day, making 3 try saving tackles.
Congratulation Zavier on making it to the Polding trials. We are extremely proud of the way you represented our school.
Lismore Diocesan Rugby 10's Gala Day
On Friday 16th June our St Carthage's Rugby 10's team travelled to Coffs Harbour to participate in the Lismore Diocesan Rugby Union Gala Day. The competition was extremely close with a number of draws and the final being decided on a count back (first try scored wins).
The students played 5 games in the pool phase of the competition; winning 2, drawing 2 and losing 1. The effort and sportsmanship displayed by our school was exceptional. Mrs Lynch and Mr Sheridan were extremely proud of the students for the way they approached each game.
Thank you to Mrs Lynch and Mr Sheridan for all of your hard work preparing our students and coaching them on the day.
