CHAIRPERSONS ANNUAL REPORT 2013

It gives me great pleasure to present this annual report on behalf of the executive, diocesan and association representatives and individual sport conveners. The scope of this report reflects another amazing year of sporting achievement for our catholic school students and staff in secondary schools across NSW. It provides a reflection of the incredible talent we have in our schools and the pathways that are available in a wide variety of sports. It is always rewarding to see students from our catholic secondary schools listed as members of NSW All School and Australian teams.

Pope Francis recently met members of the Italy and Argentina football squads at the Vatican, ahead of an exhibition match organised in honour of his Pontificate. He reminded the players that they are role models for many football fans and encouraged them to take that responsibility seriously. He then asked them to foster the “beauty, generosity, and camaraderie” that sport can produce. He called on players to “live your sport as a gift from God, an opportunity not only to improve your talents, but also a responsibility”. He returned to the idea that athletes should act as role models, encouraging them to set an example of loyalty, respect, and selflessness. Pope Francis concluded by praying that the athletes will continue to be able to pursue the “noble vocation” of sport – and he asked them to pray for him, too, “that in the playing field that the Lord has placed me, I can play the game honestly and courageously, for the good of all.” At its best, sport is educational, exciting, uniting, stimulating, uplifting and beautiful. Sport glorifies God by lifting our spirits and creating genuine communities.

The report that follows is a most detailed account of the many sporting events for the year. It highlights the representative pathways and illustrates the complex yet incredible organisation that takes place to allow all these opportunities to come to fruition. There is no doubt that our success as an association is a result of the tremendous support at a local level from our participating schools, Principals and teachers.

I offer my sincerest thanks and congratulations to the individual sports coordinators at each and every school in our system. They are at the ‘coal face’ where these sporting opportunities are communicated and work tirelessly; often well outside their normal teaching duties. To the NSWCCC sports conveners, thank you for work in promoting and organising your sport. The expertise, motivation and passion you have in coordinating your sport and ensuring access into the All Schools arena is invaluable and you are all vital to the success of NSWCCC. To the Diocesan and Association representatives – a job well done! Your role in administering and organising your schools is ongoing throughout the year and again vital to allow our pathways to function so effectively.

I would also like to take this opportunity to thank the members of the NSWCCC Executive – Linda Densmore, Wendy Breen, Rick Joyce and Chris Anschau for the great work they have done throughout the year. This working committee has met regularly to improve our practices and discuss a wide variety of council issues, all in the aim of making NSWCCC a more professional and effective association. A special mention to our good friend Helen Notley who has assisted our group again this year.

The introduction of the CSSS website has been a major step forward for our organisation this year. It has provided a real presence for NSWCCC and pushed us into the digital world with a professional interface. Thanks again to our dedicated executive officer in Kym Skerritt who has overseen the website introduction along with her continued support of council members, Principals, schools, students and families. Along with this, Kym provides a vital link to both the Catholic School Sports Services and to the NSW All Schools sporting structures. Congratulations on a great year and thank you Kym on behalf of all involved in catholic school sport.

The diverse roles mentioned so far are all vital components to the successful operation of NSWCCC. We all must continue to be aware that we are one part of a team, that the association caters for students from all over NSW in over 20 sports and remain open minded to the reality of existing resources that are available to us.

Finally, my thanks to the members of the Catholic School Sports Services. Our NSWCCC sporting body now sits directly under the Diocesan Directors who serve as the board members and allows our association to have a voice at this level. Thanks in particular to Ray Collins, Director of Matiland/Newcastle Diocese who chairs the CSSS Committee, your support and guidance of our NSWCCC council and your communication to the Directors and Association of Catholic School Principals is very much appreciated. As we look ahead to secure our future, it remains imperative that our council members and enthusiastic teachers continue to receive support from their respective Principals and Diocesan Offices. To those who are leaving our NSWCCCSA thankyou for your contributions, good luck to you and best wishes for the future!

Please take time to read this NSW Combined Catholic Colleges Annual Report for 2013, I am sure you will be impressed with the quality of our students and the structures we have in place.

EXECUTIVE OFFICER’S REPORT 2013

On 19th March 2013 the Catholic Schools Sports Services Constitution was endorsed as the new entity to manage Catholic school representative sport in NSW. It has been a wonderful initiative that has bought all NSWCCC and NSWCPS programs under the one umbrella. At the first Board meeting it endorsed the rental of office space at Gladesville for NSWCCC and NSWCPS. Thank you to the Conference of Diocesan Directors in particular Ray Collins, Director of Diocese of Maitland/Newcastle for their on going support of the programs offered to Catholic school students and teachers.

I would like to thank the current memebers and past members of Catholic Schools Coordinating Committee for their contribution to ensure the opportunity for teachers and students to access the NSW representative sport pathways. Special thanks go to Gary McSweeney who has chaired this committee for the last ten years.

The website has now entrenched itself in the lives of us all. We are currently developing stage 2 of the site which will give greater access to the Diocesan/ Association representatives so that their activites are being managed through the website. Principals have embraced the opportunity to remove paper and are active members on the site. Parents and students have welcomed the access to current information and greater access to the representative programs. Improved communication on all levels has been the greatest asset of the website. Please keep providing feedback to us so we can develop the site for your use.

The NSWCCC events began with the Blue Award Presentation. Every year I am impressed by the talent and graciousness of the recipients. This year was no different but I was also aware of the comradiere and respect shown by each of the recipients’ amoungst themselves. The highlight of the presentation was the guest speaker Jacqueline Freney – Australian Paralympian of the Year 2012. Jacqui was a stdent of Xavier Catholic College Ballina and a Blue Award recipient 2007. Thank you Jacqui for sharing your story.

My role as Executive Officer is made pleasurable and simpler because of those whom I work with. I offer my thanks to the following:  Ann-Marie Miranda, Executive Officer – Primary who keeps alive the link between CCC and CPS and provides me with great support.  Kathie Lowe who plays a vital role in the administration. Her patience and diligence is outstanding.She is the face behind the website.  Bev Vimpany has been an employee since 1998. Bev will retire this year. We thank her for expertise and support over the many years.  Helen Notley who is always there to assist with the not so glamerous operational tasks.  The NSWCCC Executive for their support and guidance. Your leadership and vision is inspirational.  The NSWCCC Conveners work specifically with their sport ensuring rules of play and selections provide a level playing field and ensure all students are given equal opportunity. In particular, I would like to thank conveners who have retired Luke Wilson (Rugby) and Stuart Hanrahan (Basketball). Their leadership and expertise have ensured opportunities for many students. I would also like to thank their schools for providing the support for them to carry out their duties.  Diocesan/Association Sports Representatives will often work with conveners by supporting activities that are held in their local area. Often it is the local community’s hospitality that provides the most memorable moments. Special mention must go to the rural areas that have a wonderful way to ensure all have a good time. I also acknowledge your efforts to ensure your students are given the opportunity to attend NSWCCC selections when at times cost and isolation are great barriers.  Thank you to the school principals who support and value the representative sports program. Your support and encouragement of staff and students to attend events of the representative pathway is acknowledged and appreciated.  Sports Co-ordinators – No organisation is successful unless it has people working at the grass roots level. Your tireless efforts to be the first port of call to the student and parents are necessary and appreciated.  Thank you to the parents who provide oppurtunities to their children to use their god given talents.  To over 800 students who have accessed the represented sport pathway - School. Diocesan/Association, NSWCCC, All Schools or School Sport Australia level, thank you for sharing your talents in a gracious way. We pray your achievements continue and that you may share your talents with others.  Much of my work involves liasing closely with Lyndall Jesse (CIS Executive Officer) and Jacky Patrick (CHS Executive Officer). I would like to take the opportunity to thank both these ladies and the many teachers fron their associations who have worked closely with NSWCCC to ensure equity and opportunity for all students in NSW. Please take time to look through this report and take note of the names and schools of these people. As NSWCCC becomes richer in history we witness many of students continue their successes in the world after school. That success may not be a gold medal but the friendship and experiences they have shared with fellow students from all schools across NSW and Australia. It is timely to also congratulate the many past students who represented Australia in International, Olympic and Paralympic competitions. Many of these athletes have acknowledged the positive elements of participating in the school representative pathways. There is also many staff memers who participate and officate at the elite level. Congratulations on your achievements. As always their successes do not come without some sacrifice and encouragement from their family and support network. I have enjoyed working with all groups and look forward to 2014.

DIOCESE OF ARMIDALE

NSWCCC ANNUAL REPORT 2013

The Diocese of Armidale covers a significant portion of North Western NSW – in total it covers 91,500 square kilometres. There are just five secondary schools in the Armidale Diocese – McCarthy College Tamworth (858 students), O’Connor College Armidale (406), St Mary’s College Gunnedah (349), Holy Trinity Inverell (206) and St Philomena’s Moree (123). NSWCCC offers our students the opportunity to participate in many different sports within a well-structured representative pathway and all our schools are appreciative of this opportunity.

While large in size we are small in number and in some sports we have to combine with other dioceses to form teams. We combine with the Bathurst/Wilcannia-Forbes Dioceses for touch, football and rugby union and with both the Lismore and Maitland/Newcastle Dioceses for cricket and rugby league. Thanks to all the people involved who make this possible.

Congratulations to Megan Isbester (St Mary’s College Gunnedah) and Brittany Coe (McCarthy College Tamworth) on receiving awards at the NSWCCC Blue Award Presentation in February. Megan was awarded a Blue (Bar) for Cross Country while Brittany received a Blue for Touch. The final award of the night was the Vince Villa Award for the Most Outstanding Male & Female Athletes of the Year with a very deserving winner announced as Megan Isbester. Over the past few years Megan has represented NSW in three separate sports – Cross Country, Athletics and Triathlon and not only is she an outstanding athlete but she is an excellent student as well.

Students who either won a medal at NSW All Schools or were selected in a NSW All Schools team this year were:

Ella Heeney McCarthy College Tamworth Cross Country Isaac Farmilo McCarthy College Tamworth Hockey Megan Isbester St Mary’s College Gunnedah Triathlon Patrick Rankmore St Mary’s College Gunnedah Touch (Referee)

Students who either won a medal at NSWCCC Championships or were selected in a NSWCCC Team (in addition to the above) were:

McCarthy College Tamworth Girls Tennis team finishing 3rd at the NSWCCC Teams Tennis Championships

O’Connor College Armidale 16 Girl’s Hockey team winning the NSWCCC Hockey Championships

McCarthy College Tamworth Open Boy’s Hockey team runners-up at the NSWCCC Hockey Championships

O’Connor College Armidale Open Girl’s Hockey team finishing 3rd at the NSWCCC Hockey Championships

None of this would be possible without the assistance and support from the individual school sport coordinators: Sean Baldwin (St Philomena’s Moree), Peter Ehsman (Holy Trinity Inverell), Greg Jones (O’Connor College Armidale), Bernie Williams (McCarthy College Tamworth) and Tim Kennedy (St Mary’s College Gunnedah). Thank you to the Armidale CSO for their assistance this year along with the school Principals for allowing our students to participate in all the various sporting events this year and in particular Max Quirk (Chairman Secondary Sport Council).

Finally, thanks to all the individual Sport Conveners for all their hard work in providing opportunities for our students to participate in the many different NSWCCC sports in their quest to gain further representation. The new website has certainly made much more information readily available to all involved and in particular parents. To the Executive of NSWCCC our sincere thanks for your leadership and a huge vote of thanks to Kym Skerritt who was always available to assist both staff and parents to ensure that our students could be involved in NSWCCC sport.

We would like to also thank the principals and sport coordinators from the diocesan schools, the Diocesan/Association representatives, the Executive and the Blues Committee of New South Wales Combined Catholic Colleges. We acknowledge the huge amount of work that is required to run the pathway sport programme. This often goes unnoticed and in this time of ever increasing administration and change we are very grateful for the work done by these people to provide these opportunities for our students.

Finally. I would especially like to acknowledge the support and advice received from our Executive Officer, Kym Skerritt. Her time and energy makes the whole process easier for everyone. And behind the scenes it is important to recognize the roles played by Kathie Lowe, Bev Vimpany and Helen Notley. They work quietly and efficiently, supporting all involved in the New South Wales Combined Catholic Colleges Sport Programme.

I wish all of our students the best of luck in their future sporting endeavours and look forward to doing it all again in 2014.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank CSSS, the Combined Catholic Colleges Sports Association, the many carnival and trials convenors and CCC Executive Officer, Kym Skerritt for Sacred Heart the support they have given to the staff and students from our Archdiocese during Cootamundra 2013.

CHRISTIAN BROTHERS’ SPORTS ASSOCIATION

NSWCCC ANNUAL REPORT 2013

The 2013 sporting year has been extraordinarily busy for the CBSA schools. The number of CBSA participants has increased from 2012 as has the representative achievements at the NSWCCC level. The increasing challenge for schools is to support our students in pursuing sporting options and to also foster their academic growth. This partnership between sport and academic pursuits is also greatly supported by our CBSA Principals. The close liaison between the Sports Coordinator, Principals and Parents is really the heart of what we do in our CBSA schools and needs to be formally recognised as a successful partnership. As the sporting calendar is becoming more crowded each year and more demands are being placed on schools by many different interest groups, it is important to keep these close ties and lines of communication well open. With the sporting year being so busy it is amazing that Sports Coordinators in all CBSA schools complete the calendar with such efficiency. Events and competition available to the students are vast and varied. As the year comes to an end we take this opportunity to reflect on our involvement this year.

The CBSA schools competed in a range of events and competitions run by NSWCCC. The CBSA is ever grateful to the sport convenors for the work they put in running their sports and the carnivals for our students. The convenors are often giving up much of their own free time, and through this generosity, many of our students gain wonderful experiences at the CBSA level of competition and sometimes beyond. These opportunities are gratefully received by students and enrich their experience of catholic schooling.

CBSA teams competed at the NSWCCC Swimming, Athletics and Cross Country championships quite successfully. The team managers have done a wonderful job with these CBSA teams this year and consequently the seamless way in which the CBSA teams competed is a testament to this organisation of these officials. The CBSA is very appreciative of the excellent way in which the NSWCCC events are run and grateful for the work done by all concerned at these very large carnivals. These events provide a valuable pathway and experience for our students in these sports.

CBSA also sent teams to sports such as touch football, football, rugby league, rugby union, baseball and volleyball. Our students enjoyed these competitions and the chance to compete against other sporting organisations and athletes in the NSWCCC structure. These team events help to develop camaraderie and friendships for students across schools. Many students from CBSA also trialed for a range of other sports as individuals in golf, tennis and triathlon

The CBSA had many students gain representation in NSWCCC teams throughout the year most notably in Volleyball (6) and Touch Football (2). Other sports with CBSA representation at the NSWCCC level were swimming, cross country, golf and rugby union

Congratulations to Lachlan Hansen (Rosebank, Fivedock) who was nominated for a Blue Award in Swimming.

CBSA would like to offer it’s thanks to all the sports convenors, diocesan representatives and the executive of the NSWCCC organisation. We acknowledge the huge amount of work that goes on, frequently unnoticed, to make these opportunities available to our students. The ever increasing administration serves to highlight the work done by these people which provides opportunities for all our students in Catholic schools. This is truly appreciated by all Principals, Teachers, Parents and Students in CBSA schools.

Our schools and the Principals remain fully supportive of the pathways and opportunities provided by NSWCCC and we look forward to continuing our involvement next year.

CATHOLIC GIRLS’ SECONDARY SCHOOLS SPORTS ASSOCIATION

NSWCCC ANNUAL REPORT 2013

This year at the 16th Blues Award Presentations CGSSSA schools were well represented with five girls who use the CGSSSA as a pathway being recognised for their sporting talent, dedication and commitment to, their chosen sport. All those who have worked in partnership; teachers, sports administrators, parents and athletes have contributed to the success of these athletes success through the provision of fantastic sporting opportunities for them and for the many other students in CGSSSA schools.

The following students sporting achievements in 2012 were recognised at the Blue Award Presentation in February this year:

Netball Stephanie MacGougan Monte Sant’ Angleo College North Sydney Blue Swimming Bernadette Flannery Monte Sant’ Angleo College North Sydney Blue Volleyball Elizabeth Borger Santa Sabina College, Strathfield Bar Volleyball Gemma Kerrison Santa Sabina College, Strathfield Blue Water Polo Ellen Hahn Santa Sabina College, Strathfield Blue

During 2013 CGSSSA again held 17 championship events and selected teams in Swimming, Athletics, Cross Country, Football and Touch to compete at NSWCCC events. These events were, as we have come to rely upon, run efficiently and provided great competitive opportunities. CGSSSA teams proved to be very competitive in most sports again this year. In addition to the success of CGSSSA teams this year CGSSSA students attended and achieved success at individual trials. Amongst the memorable successes for the year was St Ursula’s College, Kingsgrove winning the NSWCCC Knock Out Football competition, an amazing achievement and one of which the school is rightly very proud. To top off the year Monte Sant’ Angleo College North Sydney won the NSW All Schools Basketball Challenge an outstanding accomplishment and one that will be long remembered.

Many individual students from a variety of schools were acknowledged for their prowess, skill and athleticism by their selection in NSWCCC teams and in some cases gaining higher representative honours. This year 111 CGSSSA students were selected in a NSWCCC team, 14 were selected in a NSW All Schools Team and 3 students were selected in a School Sport Australia team. Additionally, in athletics about 40 students nominated and competed at the NSW All School Athletics Championships some of whom will progress to compete at the National Athletics Championships.

Representation in 2013 was as follows Sport Team Selected Sport Team Selected 40 Athletics NSWCCC (Self Nom) approx Netball NSWCCC 4 Basketball NSWCCC 6 Softball NSWCCC 1 Cricket NSWCCC 1 Swimming NSWCCC 37 Cross Country NSWCCC 18 Tennis NSWCCC 2 Diving NSWCCC 7 Touch NSWCCC 4 Football NSWCCC 2 Triathlon NSWCCC 6 Golf NSWCCC 1 Volleyball NSWCCC 11 Hockey NSWCCC 4 Water Polo NSWCCC 7

This year the CGSSSA has continued to work to maximise participation opportunities for girls who compete in championships events and has plans to continue this trend in 2014. The generosity of staff in CGSSSA schools meant that securing a commitment from team managers and officials was easier this year although sometimes appointments were not made as early as we would have liked but this is certainly and area of improvement his year. The well-developed Orientation Program run at the start of the year again proved very successful in ensuring as much as possible that the year began and continued to run smoothly. Dropbox was used to good effect again this year and greater familiarity allowed greater optimisation. Risk management and compliance as well as team selections were relatively uneventful this year thanks to the diligence of staff in schools and convenors

The CSCC website development this year combined with a greater understanding of its functionality by users allowed its power to be used to great effect. Whilst there are still areas for development the valued add for all involved with NSWCCC was clearly evident this year.

Students in CGSSSA schools gain a great deal from the opportunities to participate in representative sport this year. The hard work, dedication and determination of staff in member school, NSWCCC Convenors and Kym Skerritt whilst often overlooked in the business of school life is one significant ingredient that strengthens and fosters the success of Catholic school representative sport. It has again been wonderful to witness students in CGSSSA schools continue to compete in representative sporting through the school pathway in a wide range of sports. We continue as an Association to be grateful to the CSCC for their support and guidance in fostering ‘best practice’ at all levels of competition.

Congratulation and thank you to the many staff and students who have contributed to the success of sport in Catholic schools in 2013.

DIOCESE OF LISMORE

NSWCCC ANNUAL REPORT 2013

The Diocese of Lismore Sports Program has continued to have many successful outcomes throughout this past year. I extend another sincere thank you and well done to our dedicated school sport coordinators as well as to the various carnival and trial conveners, and team managers. Collectively they have made immeasurable contributions to sport in their schools and in the Diocese as a whole. Their commitment to and concern for providing the opportunities and pathways have enabled a very large number of students to benefit greatly from their positive experiences in sport.

I wish also to express my thanks to parents for their practical support of their children and for their assistance, with other volunteers, at carnivals and trials.

Indeed, a sincere thank you to anyone who contributed in any way to the success of school, Diocesan and CCC sport with special appreciation extended to principals and school executive for much–needed support.

Well done to all students who took part in sport at any level this year with special congratulations to those who went on to representative honours.

The many highlights of 2013 have included:  Another very impressive number of students from our secondary schools gaining selection into NSW CCC sides, with a select band of these, and also 2 teachers, making it into NSW All Schools’ teams including: Jessi Reeves (JPC, Coffs Harbour) – Basketball; Jackson Gwynne (St Mary’s College Casino) – Hockey; Baily Powell (St John’s Woodlawn) – Hockey; Mitchell Scotcher (St John’s Woodlawn) – Hockey; Matthew Scurr (Trinity Lismore) – Hockey; Mekayla Everingham (St Paul’s Port Macquarie) – Swimming; Ashleigh Elward (McAuley Grafton) – Tennis; Samuel Lewis (St Paul’s Port Macquarie) – Triathlon; Ainslie Bakker (Trinity Lismore) – Triathlon; Zac Wightman (Xavier Ballina) – Surfing; Sabrina Lowe (St Joseph’s Regional Port Macquarie) – Volleyball; Mark Merrikin (JPC Coffs Harbour) – Surfing; Alyssa Locke (St Joseph’s Banora Point) – Surfing; Ashlee Spence (St Joseph’s Banora Point) – Surfing; James Bertalli (McAuley Grafton) – AWD Athletics; Annobel Starr (MacKillop Port Macquarie) – Basketball. The two teachers were Nicole Danvers (St John’s Woodlawn) - Hockey and Lionel Conroy (JPC Coffs Harbour) – Golf.

 One student, Georgia Keen (Trinity Lismore), went one better and gained selection at the highest level by being named in the School Sport Australia Girls’ Football team.  Numerous outstanding performances in State KO competitions by schools from within the Lismore diocese  The continued high level performances of our Diocesan Swimming team as a whole as well as some outstanding individual efforts at CCC and beyond. Special mention to record breakers: Mekayla Everingham (MacKillpp Port Macquarie) - 15-16 Years Girls 100m Breaststroke and St Paul’s Port Macquarie 12-14 Years Boys Medley Relay Team (Ryan Carroll, Mitchell Everingham, Jacob Foy and Lachlan Kirkland)  The excellent result of the Lismore team at the CCC Athletics to finish prominently in the Diocesan/Association points table. This was indicative of some excellent performances by so many of our team members and was despite our greatly reduced team numbers following withdrawals. Special mention to three Lismore athletes who broke records at this meet: Jay Meaney (Woodlawn) – 19 Years Boys 400m; Claire Evans (St Joseph’s Banora Point) – 14 Years Girls Javelin and Giacomo Pippo (Xavier Ballina) – 15 Years Boys Discus.  The continued growth, interest and success in primary and secondary sport for children with disabilities.  The unmistakable sense of team spirit that seems to be a part of so many of our Diocesan teams despite the varied locations from which our team members come. This same team spirit is very noticeable amongst school teams as well. A great amount of credit goes to our excellent team managers and, of course, to the students themselves.

Finally, congratulations and thank you to all Diocesan and CCC conveners, managers and officials, and all Diocesan representatives, with a special thank you and well done to Kym Skerritt, NSW CCCSA Executive Officer.

Robert Ellison, Lismore Diocesan Representative

DIOCESE OF MAITLAND/NEWCASTLE SECONDARY SCHOOLS SPORTS ASSOCIATION ______

NSWCCC ANNUAL REPORT 2013

St Joseph’s High School There are 11 secondary schools in the Maitland/Newcastle Diocese. We are proud of Aberdeen the number of talented and committed students we have, not only for what they achieve in their sport but also for the manner in which they take part. Many of these students have also managed to combine their sporting achievements with rigorous academic St Pius X High School programs. Adamstown Early this year the prestigious Blues Awards were hosted which acknowledged the outstanding achievement of students from the previous year. Jesse Deloraine from All Saints College St Mary’s Maitland received a Bar for Water Polo and Meg Bailey from St Paul’s High School St Frances Xavier College received a Blue for Swimming.

All Saints College All Saints College St Mary’s Campus won NSW Rugby League Schoolboy Trophy for St Mary’s Campus the second year in a row and were finalist in the NSWCCC Catholic Cup top tier. This is Maitland a huge achievement highlighting the depth of talented Rugby League players and coaches at St Marys. For a smaller secondary school St Mary’s Gateshead certainly has plenty of big hearts if their rugby league success is anything to go by. The aspiring All Saints College footballers took out the final of the prestigious NSW All Schools Rugby League U16s St Peter’s Campus Championships. St Mary’s Gateshead has a fine history of league success with various Maitland aged teams winning the Knights Knockout. The successes also highlight the ongoing commitment and generous support of staff and parents in our school communities who put their heart and soul into giving students every opportunity to shine. All Saints All Saints College College St Joseph’s High School Lochinvar had three rugby league teams make the St Joseph’s Campus semi-finals of the NSW All Schools Carnival. The U13, U14 & U15 teams each won Lochinvar their pool also. . A great deal of thanks must go to the school Sport Coordinators who work tirelessly to San Clemente High give their students the opportunity to represent their school, diocese and state. The School Mayfield work these teachers do is well outside their normal teaching loads. I would like to thank our 11 school sport coordinators for the support they continue to offer. The extraordinary goodwill and hard work of our teachers who willingly assist as convenors, St Catherine’s College coaches, squad managers and officials, greatly contribute to the undoubted success of Singleton carnivals. These opportunities for students only occur due to their hard work, expertise and time. Of course for staff to be available, we must thank all of our principals who support the teachers’ involvement and to Ray Collins for the interest he has shown in St Clare’s High School all student athletes in Maitland/Newcastle. Taree I would like to acknowledge the support of Kym Skerritt who works tirelessly in promoting, organising and managing the NSWCCC Sports Association as well as Kathie Lowe who supports Kym. Thanks also to the Catholic Sports Coordinating Committee who provides guidance to the Council.

I would like to thank all the Principals, Sports Coordinators, staff, students and families from each of the colleges within the Metropolitan Catholic Schools Sports Association for their support and congratulate them on their achievements in 2013.

Gratitude is expressed to the following Colleges for their convening of the nominated MCS Sports for the 2013 season – Auburn (Basketball), Blacktown (Soccer), Campbelltown (Cross Country), Dundas (Athletics); Eastwood (Cricket/Rugby 15s); Fairfield (Touch Football); Greystanes (Rugby League), Liverpool (Swimming), Parramatta (Rugby 7’s), Penrith (Golf), Quakers Hill-Schofields (AFL) and Ryde (Tennis/ Chess). The majority of these sports are played during our weekly Thursday afternoon competitions. These weekly competitions promote the importance of participation, sportsmanship and friendship. They are also an opportunity to offer elite competition and as a result, they are extremely important to the development of our students and the association’s success.

The MCS enters squads into the NSWCCC Championships for Athletics, Baseball, Cross Country, Rugby League, Rugby Union, Soccer, Softball, Swimming, and Touch Football. We are extremely grateful to the coaches, managers, trainers, selectors and officials who create, organize and prepare our squads for participation at this elite level. They are appointed from within our Colleges and add to the spirit, professionalism and dedication offered to all of the representative players who competed in 2013. We are certainly in their debt and I take this opportunity to express to them our sincerest appreciation.

In this 46th year of the MCS Sports Association, we were once again blessed with many students who achieved representative honours at either NSWCCC, NSW All Schools or Australian Schoolboy competitions. The boys performed extremely well and distinguished themselves as fine ambassadors of schoolboy sport.

Special mention must also go to the following colleges - Patrician Brothers’ College Blacktown who won the NSW CCC Rugby League Cup for a third straight year and were Grand Finalists in the GIO Cup National Schoolboy Rugby League competition. They were also Grand Finalists in the Senior Division of the NSWCCC Football Knockout and the Berg Shield Cricket Competition. St Dominic’s College Penrith who were Grand Finalists in the Junior and Intermediate divisions of the NSWCCC State Basketball Tournaments

Finally, in 2013 we farewell Holy Cross College Ryde from our association. We acknowledge their contributions over many years and wish them success in their future sporting endeavours. We also farewell Br Jeff Regan, outgoing Principal at St Dominic’s College Penrith. In doing so, we acknowledge his role in the promotion of sport in Catholic Schools in NSW, his active involvement in our association and his significant contribution to Basketball as the NSWCCC convenor for many years.

SOUTHERN SYDNEY COMBINED CATHOLIC COLLEGES SPORTS ASSOCIATION

NSWCCC ANNUAL REPORT 2013

The SSCCCSA facilitates and enables students from a variety of Catholic schools to compete against each other in an atmosphere of healthy competition. Rivalries have developed between schools and these competitions live on in the memories of students. The SSCCSA allows students to grow and develop their sporting talents allowing them to dream and achieve.

The NSWCCC website played an integral part in the organisation of all SSCCC events during 2013. This proved a benefit to parents, students and administrators, removing the paper trail and providing a system that those involved could up to date information, as well as providing an accurate system that could see students progress from a school, diocese, NSWCCC, NSW All Schools and Australian Team levels. This was demonstrated by efficient emails between conveners and parents prior to events and the results of students and progressions being updated direct to school staff via the website.

SSCCC students participated in the following NSWCCC competitions as an association: Athletics, Baseball, Cross Country, Boys and Girls Football (Bathurst), Rugby League, Rugby Union, Swimming, Tennis, and Touch. SSCCC students had the opportunity to enter as individuals in AFL, Basketball, Diving, Golf, Netball, Softball, Triathlon and Volleyball.

College teams were also heavily involved in various NSWCCC Knockout competition which ran throughout the year. Highlights from these knockouts were Freeman College reaching the Open Girls NSWCCC Semi finals and Aquinas College becoming NSWCCC 7-10 Boys Champions. A highlight from this was also that Christian Naumoff an NSWCCC, NSW All Schools, Australian School boys, U/20 Young Socceroos Team member and Sydney FC player, currently in Yr 12 at Aquinas College Presenting the Medals and Champions Trophy.

Trials in 2013 continued to be conducted in a professional manner, giving opportunity to students from all schools. The highest level of gratitude is given to Coaches and College Conveners who gave freely of their time to give the students the opportunity they deserve. SSCCC representation remains an important recognition and pathway for our students to gain higher honours. Selection requires students to display the highest level of sportsmanship whilst displaying their on field skills.

The NSWCCC Conveners, officials and executive must be recognised for their work, this network of professionals ensure our students are given the opportunity to reach their full potential. A special thanks and congratulations to Kym Skerritt the NSWCCCSA Executive officer for a successful 2013.

Yours in Sport, Aaron Poll SSCCCSA Diocesan Representative St John Bosco College Engadine

2013 has been another busy, yet rewarding year for the staff and students of the schools that make up Sydney Catholic Colleges Sports Association (SCC). SCC has competed in a number of NSWCCC events this year. The opportunities provided by NSWCCC for our students to compete at representative level, against other schools and school systems is appreciated by our students, teachers and parents.

This year many students were able to progress through to representing NSWCCC. Our highlights included teams competing at the NSWCCC swimming, cross country and athletics carnivals. These carnivals were professionally run and students welcomed the chance to compete at such a high level. We also entered teams in football, touch football, volleyball and softball. Many students also attended individual trials throughout the year for a wide range of sports run by NSWCCC. Several students gained representation in NSWCCC teams throughout the year.

Being a small Association still causes problems with team selections. The elite or better athletes in our schools are often called upon to represent in a variety of sporting teams and many students need to prioritise their commitments and avail themselves to only their preferred sport. SCC member schools and principals are fully supportive of the pathway NSWCCC offers to our students and staff, and is committed to fulfilling our requirements. SCC is looking forward to 2014 with much anticipation.

SCC would like to offer it’s sincerest thanks to all the sports convenors, diocesan representatives and the executive of the NSWCCC organisation. We acknowledge the huge amount of work that goes on frequently unnoticed to make these opportunities available to our students.

DIOCESE OF WAGGA WAGGA

NSWCCC ANNUAL REPORT 2013

Wagga Wagga Diocese has completed another hectic sporting year for our staff and students through the NSW Combined Catholic Colleges Sporting Association (CCC). The Wagga Wagga Diocese in association with CCC caters for a wide variety of sports for talented students and staff. It is a pleasure to witness so many talented athletes competing not only in our Diocese but across the State and at a National level.

Our year started off on a high when Jock Cornell (AFL - MDCC), Jacob Hopper (AFL - SFC) and Kayla Hay (Touch - KCC) were awarded with the prestigious NSWCCC Blue Award. This recognises the outstanding achievements made in their chosen sports throughout 2012.

We have achieved great success across our Diocese this year with a large number of students being named in NSWCCC teams with some progressing to the NSW All Schools Honour roll and one student was selected in an Australian representative team. NSW All Schools Honour roll: Fletcher Carroll AFL (XHS) – Australian team Connor Byrne AFL (MDCC) Lachie Gould AFL (XHS) Jack Kirley AFL (XHS)

Wagga Wagga hosted the Southern Country U15’s and Opens Rugby League trials where many future NRL players begin their sporting careers. This was done in collaboration with Stephen Hooper (Wilcannia/Forbes), John Sparks (Wollongong), Linda Densmore (Bathurst) and Kerrie Johnston (Canberra/Goulburn). Appreciation is extended to them all and we look forward to hosting the Sothern Country trials again in 2014. Wagga Wagga was also the host for Southern Zone AFL Trials. Thanks to Mark Sanson (Xavier High School) and Matthew Hope (Kildare Catholic College) for organising the successful trials. Xavier High School Albury hosted the inaugural Diocesan junior Basketball trials/championships, the winners on the day automatically qualified for the State finals which were held in Tamworth. The day and this concept were a huge success and thanks are extended to Andrew Gibson and his team at XHS.

On a personal note I would like to pass on my thanks to the Wagga Wagga Diocese Sport coordinators Nathan Irvine (Mater Dei Catholic College), Matt Conn (Kildare Catholic College), Andrew Gibson (Xavier Catholic College), Carl Norman (St. Francis College), Andrew Holloway (Marian CC) and all of their staff. They ensured we were able to consistently run each particular sport at a very professional and efficient level throughout the year. This allowed all of the students across the Riverina and MIA to enjoy the great opportunity to test their talents and skills against local, State and Australia’s best sporting students. Without your hard work and dedication Wagga Wagga Diocesan sport would cease to remain the strong sporting body it is.

Thanks must also be extended to the Wagga Wagga Diocesan Secondary Schools’ Principals and the Catholic Schools Office for their support of CCC sport throughout the year. I would also like to thank the players/students, parents, officials, team managers, teachers and coaches who have given up so much of their valuable time to participate and support Diocesan and CCC sport. The distances travelled by country students is great and the commitment they, and their families, make is amazing. They are all happy to do this at considerable expense to pursue excellence and enjoyment in sport through CCC pathways and this is commendable. Congratulations to Kym Skerritt and the CSCC Executive for their continued support of sport in NSW Catholic Schools throughout 2013. The Wagga Wagga Diocesan Secondary Sporting Association is looking forward to hosting the CCC touch tournament in Wagga Wagga and we also look forward to an eventful 2014.

DIOCESE OF WOLLONGONG

NSWCCC ANNUAL REPORT 2013

Schools from the Wollongong Diocese have enjoyed another great year of sporting activities through the Combined Catholic Colleges Sporting Association. The opportunities for our students to compete against other Dioceses and Associations from across NSW and the opportunity to access the All Schools arena has been greatly appreciated by students, parents and teachers of our school communities.

I would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge the work of the Catholic School Sports Services, Diocesan/Association representatives and the individual Sports Conveners. Your efforts throughout the year have been outstanding and on behalf of the Wollongong Sports Council thank you for your contributions. To Kym Skerritt our Executive Officer for 2013, your work and support have again been the driving force behind the professionalism of the NSWCCC Sports Association. I have appreciated your professionalism, good nature and willingness to support all aspects of secondary sport. Thankyou!

The CSSS website become a significant resource and has been embraced by all as the future of operations. There is a great need to promote and communicate it’s features to all teachers, students and parents. Wollongong had several teachers who contributed to CCC this year including Dean Merola (Holy Spirit College, Bellambi) and Brett Moran (St Joseph’s, Albion Park) who coordinated the Southern Country CCC cricket trials and Bob Cooper (St. Mary’s College, Wollongong) who convened the NSWCCC Volleyball selections. The work of our conveners in promoting sport across NSW was first-class and certainly provided opportunities for increased student involvement. Over 380 secondary students represented the diocese at CCC events with 75 students from Wollongong going on to represent in NSWCCC teams, 14 gaining NSW All School teams honours and 4 with National team selections.

A special mention to our colleagues in Southern Sydney who have been the driving force behind the amalgamation of our U/16 and Open Rugby teams going to CCC selections. The work of Belinda Westwood (De La Salle College, Cronulla) and Aaron Poll (John Bosco, Engadine) has been very much appreciated.

On a local level I would like to thank our Director of Schools Peter Turner, Secondary Schools Head of Service, Alan McManus, Head of Religious Education and Learning Services, Ken Bryant and my team leader of the Pastoral Care and Learning Support team, Cynthia McCammon for their continued support of Diocesan Sport. All have recognised the importance of sport and have assisted in promoting it to our Diocesan schools. Our CEO website continued to be a valued resource with our sporting events on line and downloadable. This year it featured all representative teams, results from major carnivals and links to the CSSS, DEC and School Sport Australia sites. Our sports council has formed some close links with Wollongong University and now have students assisting at our carnivals and acting as officials at NSWCCC events. This has been a very productive relationship and one we hope to develop in the future.

Finally to my individual Sports Coordinators who are the cornerstone for all sporting activities – congratulations on an outstanding job. Your role is challenging, busy and often unrewarding at times, but again you have met the challenges put to you in fine style. Thankyou!

On Friday November 15 this year our Sports Council staged the 17th Annual CDF Diocesan Sports Awards to recognise the outstanding achievements of both students and teachers from primary and secondary Schools. The evening was proudly sponsored by the Catholic Development Fund and attracted over 500 guests to St Mary Star of the Sea College. The evening was a fitting culmination to a busy sporting year and certainly a positive advertisement for the pathways and structures now available. The Vince Villa Trophy was awarded to Holy Spirit College as the Champion Secondary School across all sports.

Wollongong Diocese looks forward to our continued involvement in Combined Catholic Colleges Sport. We wish all involved in secondary school catholic sport the best and hope to see you in action again in 2014.

The NSWCCC Athletics Championships was held at Sydney International Athletics Centre on Friday 13th September 2013. The day ran quite well considering the introduction of new events within the same time frame.

NSWCCC Selections Report On Wednesday May 8 the selection trials were held initially at Waratah Oval No. 4 Sutherland. 62 boys attended the trial.

The NSWCCC Trials were convened by Rick Joyce – St Patrick’s College Sutherland (coach/selector). Staff assisting with the management, and selection of the CCC final 22, included: James Furey – St Paul’s College Boolaroo, Michael Holmes – St Patrick’s College Sutherland, Mick Clift – NSW/ACT AFL (GWS Academy) and Jason Saddington – NSW/ACT AFL (Swans Academy).

All players were split into three teams. The day comprised of 9 x 15 minute playing periods and each student played six out of nine playing periods to be selected the final CCC. There were very few injuries and all were classified as minor. Special thanks to Amy (medical officer) for attending to the boys needs and assisting on the day.

The quality of the boy’s trialling, were first class and all the selectors were happy with the selection. It is never an easy task but consensus was reached. There was enough game time for all students to be seen and the need for a possible versus probable was not needed. Congratulations to the 22 CCC boys chosen to represent the NSWCCC Northern Zone Team 2013. It was very pleasing to see the spread of regions being represented. They included Coffs Harbour, Port Macquarie, Central Coast, Nowra, Illawarra and Sydney Metro.

We were pleased to have accredited umpires who attend our schools and provided a pathway for them. They were supervised by Carl Fletcher (NSW Umpires Development Officer). The Accredited Umpire/s included: Luke Humphries, Kellie Humphries, Matthew Clarke and Matthew Staraj all representing the Illawarra.

Special thanks to the Miranda Football Club for providing canteen facilities at Waratah Oval, to the parents and family of the boy’s trialling.

52 NSWCCC Annual Report 2013

NSW All Schools Report The NSW All Schools Carnival was held at in Broken Hill from Tuesday June 4 to June May 6. There had been a lot of rain in the weeks leading up to the Championships but it had fined up and the playing conditions were very good over the three days.

2013 was the first year where NSWCCC and NSWCIS had to compete individually where previously they had been combined. A new CHS team was competing in its second year, representing the Western region, took part in the Championships to assist with a ten team round robin format.

NSWCCC North played its first game on the Tuesday morning against South Coast. Where they won 14.3.87 to 2.1.13. In the afternoon they played against the Sydney Brumbies and ran out winners 8.3.51 to 2.3.15.

Wednesday Day 2 of the carnival saw NSWCCC North play against one of the highly fancied and traditionally strong Riverina Murray. It was an extremely physical game and was played in good spirit and very good skills shown but our North team were defeated by two points 5.8.38 to 5.6.36. In the afternoon struggled to defeat the West Darling team after the torrid morning encounter with Riverina Murray. North finally won 5.5.35 to 3.1.19.

The NSWCCC/CIS South team was also successful in three out of four games and lost to the new CIS team. Our two teams played off for third and fourth place. NSWCCC South ran out comfortable winners 6.6.36 to 2.3.15. As a result of this great final the NSW All Schools selectors chose four South and four North players to represent their state at the School Sport Australia Championships in Darwin.

The final Championship results were: 1st CIS, 2nd Riverina Murray, 3rd CCC South 4th CCC North, 5th Sydney, 6th Riverina SW, 7th Northern NSW, 8th West Darling, 9th South Coast, 10th Western

All players selected were very good members of the team structure, ambassadors for their schools and families and all mixed well. They all shared the workload on the field, demonstrated courtesy, respect, sportsmanship and excellent behaviour at all times during the Carnival. Their contribution to the team was always positive and in doing so was able to play football at the highest level.

James Furey (Team Manager) from St Paul’s HS Booragul was once again efficient as always and easy to work with. All aspects of team managing were professionally attended to and the coordinating of the team over the Carnival was done to perfection.

Congratulations to the following NSWCCC/CIS North boys in being selected in the 2013 NSW All Schools Team and will travel to Darwin for the School Sport Australia Carnival in August: Patrick De La Mare (St. Columba’s High School Springwood), Thomas Chichester (Marcellin College Randwick) Hamish MacDonald (Holy Spirit College Bellambi). Unfortunately Hamish was unable to attend the carnival in Darwin due to a stress fracture in his back. There were two other injuries to other players and NSWCCC North were able to have two more boys selected. They were Michael Lemme (De La Salle College Revesby) and Ethan Claxton (St Dominic’s College Kingswood).

School Sport Australia Report School Sport Australia Championships were held in Darwin. NSW performed extremely well. They finished second in their pool behind Victoria Country. NSW defeated QLD and NT and lost to Victoria Country. This meant they could not finsh any lower than fourth out of eight. The Championships finished with SA, WA, Vic Country, NSW, Vic Metro, QLD, ACT and NT in that order.

NSW had two players make the Australian team. They were Fletcher Carroll (Xavier High School Albury) and Kobe Mutch (Coomealla High School).

NSWCCC Selections Report Trials were conducted at Xavier High School on Thursday 2nd May. 58 boys trialled from 11 schools across the Riverina and Southern NSW. Conditions were excellent for football and the players showed some impressive skills. Selectors for the day were Travis Doyle (St Francis De Sales College), Matthew Hope (Kildare Catholic College, Wagga Wagga) and Mark Sanson (Xavier High School, Albury).

A talented squad of 22 was selected, with high hopes of performing well at the All Schools Carnival in Broken Hill.

NSW All Schools Report This year’s championships were held in Broken Hill in far western NSW from Tuesday 4th June to Thursday 6th June. Two separate grounds were used for the carnival, which were both considerably longer than what all players were most likely accustomed to. This inspired longer kicking, more tactical play and superior athletic ability to shine. This gave all boys the opportunity to show their skills and talents against quality opposition.

The NSWCCC Southern Blue Tongues first game was against the Northern NSW Stallions. After a steady start, the boys took control of the game with a great display of accurate goal kicking and free flowing football. The boys ran out comfortable winners 10.2 (62) to 3.4 (22) Best: Carroll, Gould, Whitley and Byrne. The 2nd game held in the afternoon on Day 1 was against the developing Western Wombats. Having a chance to gel in the previous game, the boys settled as a team and were able to run up a huge score line against the Western team who never gave up all match. The full time score was CCC South (14.19 103) to Western (0.0.0).

On Day 2 our first game was against Riverina South West in cold in windy conditions. Accurate kicking and defensive pressure in this game saw the NSWCCC South team come away convincing winners (11.2.68) to (0.2.2). Strong performances in this game came from Connor Byrne, Jack, Kirley, Fletcher Carroll and Harry Nunn. The NSWCCC South team was now 3 from 3 before coming up against the newly formed CIS team. This game would likely prove to be the match that decided who would progress through to the final of the Championships. The match between CIS and CCC South began with CIS controlling the ball well and the CCC South took some time to adapt to the pace of the match. At halftime the CIS team were in control. After the half time break the NSWCCC South team were able to match the play of their opposition and demonstrated some highly skilled 55 NSWCCC Annual Report 2013

patches of play. Unfortunately the NSWCCC South team was unable to overcome the CIS team at fulltime and went down (6.6.42) to (2.4.16). The extra running ability and the use of free payers around the ground was telling in the final score for this game. NSWCCC South best included. Gould, Carroll, Byrne, Kirley, Shannon and Leeds.

The Bluetongues would now playoff for the 3rd vs. 4th position after finishing 2nd in their pool. They needed to maintain their intensity that they showed in the second half against the CIS team if they were to overcome their opponents in the final match of the championships.

The match on Day 3 of the carnival was the grudge match against the NSWCCC North team who had also finished 2nd in their pool. Players, coaches and supporters all took part in the rivalry that this game would bring. The first half was a tight affair with both teams running the ball well and creating many scoring opportunities. The NSWCCC South team took and slender lead into half time. The second half began with some inaccurate goal kicking but once the nerves had settled the Bluetongues were able to gain the ascendancy and outplayed their Catholic counterparts in the second half. The final score (6.7.43) to (2.3.15) saw the NSWCCC South team finished third overall.

At the completion of the championships all players were congratulated on their efforts and the spirit in which they had played the game in over the past 3 days. Several of the CCC South played gained special mention. Connor Byrne was named the NSWCCC South Bluetongues player of the carnival and also gained selection in the NSW All Schools team. Lachie Gould, Fletcher Carroll and Jack Kirley were also rewarded for their dominant performance in all games by also being selected in the NSW All School teams to compete in the National Carnival in Darwin later this year.

Many thanks to the parents and friends who made the huge effort to travel to Broken Hill for the carnival. Special thanks also to Mark Sanson (Coach) from Xavier High School in Albury for his time and effort not only to coach the team but also for the huge job of organising the team prior to the carnival.

School Sport Australia Report School Sport Australia Championships were held in Darwin. NSW performed extremely well. They finished second in their pool behind Victoria Country. NSW defeated QLD and NT and lost to Victoria Country. This meant they could not finsh any lower than fourth out of eight. The Championships finished with SA, WA, Vic Country, NSW, Vic Metro, QLD, ACT and NT in that order.

NSW had two players make the Australian team. They were Fletcher Carroll (Xavier High School Albury) and Kobe Mutch (Coomealla High School).

NSWCCC Selections Report The Diocese of Southern Sydney played host to this years Inter Diocesan Championship enabling students to contest for positions in the NSWCCC team. Kelso Reserve made for an excellent venue, with diamonds side by side enabling selectors to get a great view of both games contesting in the same timeslot.

With the second year of implementation of the new registration process, the process of selecting students was made easier, especially where students had nominated for particular playing positions. This also enabled selectors the luxury of moving students from one team to another in order to fairly assess the students ability and also create the opportunity for greater game time.

Unfortunately for the NSWCCC selectors, player numbers were down this year, as was the level of player ability. Only four teams contested this year – MCS, Lismore, Southern Sydney and a collective group forming a Convenors team.

MCS were a very dominant team on the day and occupied the majority of the selected NSWCCC team. The Convenors team was very well coached/managed by Luke Wilmott and Darren Thompson and whilst the majority of these players had never met, they formed a very competitive unit.

Lismore were once again a hit within the competition and finished the round robin format in second position. The coaches in Tim Whitney and Mick Cannon had selected a strong, competitive team from a very geographically large Diocese. The effort and commitment that these two gentleman put into Baseball as a sport within their Diocese is to be commended. The Lismore team were rewarded for their efforts with three members selected in the NSWCCC team.

Based upon the numbers at this years event, the need for a “Championship” at a Diocesan level needs to be assessed. It is a very valuable process for teams to be selected within a Diocese, but, the event is a selection trial and the competition within the games should be for positions on the NSWCCC team only.

Thanks to all of the people who contributed to this years event. Your knowledge and assistance in the coordination of the event is genuinely appreciated.

I would like to particularly acknowledge Kym Skerritt (CSSS EO), Brendon Wallace and Peter Fitzpatrick (NSW CCC Baseball Committee), East Hills Baseball Club for their maintenance of the fields and canteen facilities and all our Umpires, Coaches, Players and Supporters.

58 NSWCCC Annual Report 2013

Students selected in NSW All Schools Kieren Johnston St Peter's Catholic College (Wyong, Secondary School)

All Schools Report This year we once again set out for the Central coast to battle the CIS and CHS teams. We had selected what we thought would be a reasonably competitive team from those that attended the selection trials. It would be a good test of the boys in the two games to be played on the day. As we neared the field it became obvious that we may have some trouble getting started. The heavens were opening up and as the game time edged closer, so did the rain and before long the field was flooded.

Despite being a little patient the weather wouldn’t change and we were left with a rainout. This then left all three associations looking at options of rescheduling the trials to an alternate time and venue. This sent us to the phone to contact families and schools to try and find the best fit for all players in order to reschedule. It became clear that all teams couldn’t travel again and so the Blacktown Olympic Park was proposed as the next venue on a designated date.

We had found out that rescheduling the All Schools selection trial would work against us as it would mean our Lismore boys could not make a return trip to play meaning we would lose a pitcher, catcher and starting pivot. These positions would not be easy to cover and we would later find out that we would miss these boys.

The second trial day took place and we still felt that we had a team that could compete on the day providing the boys played as well as possible. This would mean that the pitchers needed to find strikes and be economical, the infielders and outfielders needed to make every routine play and the hitters needed to generate runs.

The first game was against the CIS team and both teams got out to a quick start. Our pitching was quite good from Kieran Johnson however the bats were slow and packed little punch. Before we knew it the CIS had scored a number of runs off the back of some poor defense from our guys. Kieran was doing a good job but his pitch count was up and we made a change. The following pitchers were reasonably economical and we still had not scored many runs and the defensive strength of the team was missing. It looked like we were going to run over until things started to click late in the game.

Before we knew it the boys bats had started to explode and the routine plays began to be made. The run gap started to close and it looked like we were going to get this game. The boys crept back to within a run but unfortunately had left their run a little late. Despite showing tremendous heart to turn things around and make a late charge, the run was left a little late and we went down by a run.

In an attempt to try and snatch victory in Game 1 we had used up some strong pitching and knowing that we were short due to the loss of the Lismore boys we were going to do it tough against the CHS hitting line up. We needed our pitching to be firing from the first pitch and our hopes lay in the starter of Alex Richardson. He had shut down the CHS bats the previous year and we were hoping for a similar performance this year. After the first few hitters it became evident that his would not be Alex’s day and the CHS hitters dominated and jumped out to a big lead. Once again our infield defense was poor which culminated in an eight nil lead after the first innings. The lack of pitching would be our greatest weakness on the day and from the first innings the boys were playing catch up baseball.

Once again the boys showed tremendous heart in fighting back late in the game but we were unable to get close enough to really challenge the CHS team. This was a little disappointing but it did show us what we had in terms of player depth and also what some of the younger players have to offer against this level of competition. We had a number of boys who showed signs of being capable of competing at the next level but unfortunately could not push their way into the final All Schools team selection. Kieran Johnson was our only boy to make the team based on the fine performance he had as the starting pitcher in Game 1 against the CIS team.

I would like to thank Scott Murray for the tremendous job he does in convening the NSWCCC Baseball, managing the NSWCCC team and organising factors relating to the All Schools trials. If it wasn’t for Scott things wouldn’t be as smooth from our end and quite frankly, the All Schools Day wouldn’t be what it is without his large contribution. He basically organised the majority of the initial and rescheduled days. My thanks and congratulations go to the boys on their selection into the NSWCCC team and the way in which they conducted themselves throughout the trial process. I would especially like to thank our departing boys in the final year of eligibility and for the service that they have given this team and wish them all the best in their future endeavours.

59 NSWCCC Annual Report 2013

School Sport Australia The 2013 School Sport Australia Baseball Championships were held at Geelong in Victoria during the month of May. This year saw the return of the ACT side to the Championships, ensuring that there were six teams competing for the National title.

Unfortunately, the NSWCCC system only had two people gain selection this year with Kieran Johnson gaining selection as a pitcher and myself as Assistant Coach. This year proved to be a lean year for NSWCCC players within the All Schools team with only one player selected, something we hope to improve on next year.

The team was looking to go one better than last year’s second place finish and had their sights set on the title. The schedule was for 5 preliminary round games to determine the semi finals places. The team managed to win 4 of the 5 games, with their loss coming from last year’s Champions in Queensland. Kieran proved to be a valuable asset in starting the South Australia game as pitcher and dominating. He controlled the South Australian bats and helped us go on to win 16-1.

The team qualified for the top pool of the semi finals and had a strong 7-1 win against Queensland in game 1. This brought up a clash against Western Australia and Kieran was again given the start as pitcher. He proved to be a little less effective in this game but managed to keep the team in the game. Unfortunately the boys could not manage to score enough runs to hold off the WA boys and lost 7-2.

Despite this loss we managed to make the final due to run differentials between Qld, WA and ourselves. The boys were keen to win back the title and only WA stood between them and the trophy. The boys started extremely well and despite a late fight back from WA, proved to strong eventually going on to win 7-2. NSW were once again the SSA Baseball Champions.

In his first selection as a NSW All School’s Baseballer, Kieran Johnson has walked away with the proud honour of being a National Champion and knowing he played a valuable part in the team’s overall success.

NSWCCC Selections Report The 2013 NSWCCC trials attracted very strong candidates. 41 names were listed to trial with 32 actually present on the day. The day progressed well and I was able to incorporate some team offense and team defensive principles into the session. This was valuable given our limited preparation time. As usual a few stood out immediately but the selection of final 10 proved quite difficult. After running through some drills to look at the basic skill level of all players, we progressed into games of 2 x 2 and 3 on 3.

We then broke them into teams of 5 and played mini games. After several mini games, the ‘probables’ and ‘possibles’ were established - approximately, half the group. Further games were played until we had established our ‘Probables’ list. At approx. 2pm those not on this list were allowed to leave. As the talent pool was so high the final selection was close and difficult.

Those unsuccessful players were told they had performed well and were encouraged to return next year. Hopefully the number of younger players who attended this year will return.

Maddie Doorn was originally selected but had to withdraw due to injury and was replaced by Annabel Starr.

NSW All Schools Report The players met on Sunday afternoon for our one and only training session, which was followed by a team dinner with players and families.

Game 1 9am V CHS – Win This game was tightly fought in the first half and after some defensive adjustments we were able to shut down their scoring avenues and gain momentum through strong rebounding efforts, running the floor well and showing patience in the half court offense. A rewarding win.

Game 2 11.30am V CIS – Win Although we were backing up quickly after game 1, we completely dominated this team in all areas of the court. We were faster, stronger, more disciplined and much higher skilled. We pressured the ball carriers, covered penetration to the basket and dominated the rebounding. A convincing win.

The team played to their ability with fantastic results. Our team was well balanced with talented players in all positions and all made strong contributions in both games.

Each player followed instructions well and played together for the benefit of the team.

61 NSWCCC Annual Report 2013

I feel confident that all players were given opportunities to shine and display their skills offensively and defensively. It is evident that the Head Coach of the All Schools team places a lot of emphasis on defensive skill, team attitude and ability to follow instructions.

Congratulations to six players who were selected in the NSW All Schools Team to compete at the School Sport Australia Championship in Perth 17-24 August.

Winning both games gave NSWCCC players a much higher chance of being selected and in this light, I found selection process to be fair.

The selection / coaching staff worked well together. The players were committed, responsive and worked hard for each other. I would like to thank Megan Quarmby for her support, warm disposition and caring attitude with the players. Megan and Christina Liu provided a well-balanced view and assessment at selection time adding valuable expertise and experience.

Thank you to the Kym Skerritt and Stuart Hanrahan for their ongoing contribution and passion for sport in NSWCCC and Basketball in particular.

Thank you for the opportunity to coach the team in 2013.

School Sport Australia Report The School Sport Australian Basketball Championships commenced in Perth on August 17th-23rd.

NSWCCC had six players representing the girls team (Alex Delaney, Riley Evans, Georgia Ohrdof, Jessi Reeves, Alysha Skerrit and Anabel Star). All players contributed well both on and off the court proving to be valuable assets to their team and coaches.

The girls team confidently went through the championship undefeated winning games comfortably and with style. They were a well polished team and executed effectively together to win the grand final against QLD by over 50 points. Megan Cantellano was named NSW MVP and Alex Delaney Tournament MVP. Megan Cantellano, Alex Delaney, Laura Dick, and Courtney West were all named in the Australian School Girls team.

NSWCCC Selections Report With the second online registration process for NSWCCC selection, many were still not aware of the new requirements or found this process quite difficult resulting in myself having to contact key athletes from NSW Basketball Representative Teams to ensure they were attending the trial. This new process will become a lot easier once all students at all schools become more aware of the online registration via active sports coordinators. We still had a high quality of athletes to trial and information was already on hand for the coaches of their previous achievements and experience via their submissions. Overall, we had approximately 45 male athletes trial. A strong group of about 15 athletes at the end of the trial made it quite difficult to make final team selections. The facilities for the trial were very accommodating and easy to conduct given the high quality venue – Penrith Sports Stadium

NSW All Schools Report Loss to CIS by 9 points. In this game we started off very well with some strong defensive intensity and saw all players contributing offensively. We managed to be only down by 5 going into the first quarter, due to sharp shooting from Xavier Cooks and some outstanding defence from Keelan Ward. However CIS switched to a Half Court Press late in the 2nd quarter, which resulted in some costly turnovers and they managed to extend their lead. Then their strong inside presence continued to dominate the rebounds with our team getting in foul trouble late in the 3rd Quarter. CIS capitalised on this opportunity and had too much depth for the CCC Boys. However we fought back to be within 2 points in the 4th Quarter. Nicholas Pozoglu was a standout offensively scoring 16 points, whilst Xavier Cooks led the team well as captain.

Win over CHS by 15. After a tough first game, the first period was very much the same and saw both teams start well with us having a small margin after the first quarter. We continued to build on this lead in the Second Quarter with some strong rebounding from Sean Weekes around the basket. Then through the rotation of players, CHS managed to climb their way back into the game in the 3rd quarter. However, to our credit, we responded well in the fourth quarter and with high level full court defensive pressure, we controlled the tempo of the game and hit some huge 3 pointers down the stretch to run away with the victory. The game was played in excellent spirit. Keelan Ward performed well again, and Bryden Albertyn and Oliver Robilliard played key roles on defense. From the two games Keelan Ward, Xavier Cooks and Nicolas Pozoglu proved their talents and skill pushing for selection in the NSW All Schools Team.

In hindsight with limited training compared to the other systems, we were quiet competitive and it was the first time in over 5 years that we have had 3 boys selected in the NSW All Schools Team. I would like to thank Lauren and John Sparks for their assistance and support over the course of this event. Thanks also to new NSWCCC convenor Stuart Hanrahan and Kym Skerritt for their support within the NSWCCC program.

NSWCCC had three players representing the boys team (Xavier Cooks, Keelan Ward and Nick Pozoglou). All players contributed well both on and off the court proving to be valuable assets to their team and coaches.

The boys also made a dominant impact and went through undefeated to play QLD in the grand final. They pulled away from what was a close first half to defeat QLD by over 15 points. NSW was dominant in the SSA Championship and were thoroughly deserving of the gold medal. Xavier Cooks was named in the Australian All Schools team.

The 2013 Sydney Regional Qualifier went ahead with minimal fuss and only one concerning incident. On day 1 the convener was called to a court by the referees to deal with an overzealous and abusive parent.

For the first time in years there were NO negative reports regarding the standard of refereeing. I feel that this was due to the assistance the Basketball NSW provided in sourcing the referees and the on ground support personnel who were there managing them.

There continues to be issues with teams withdrawing right up until the day before the tournament and an instance of this required a draw change the day prior, which is not ideal for anyone involved. Remedies or deterrents for this should be discussed at the AGM.

Evaluation from Canberra/Goulburn Regional Tournament May 3 2013:

A one day tournament more feasible for schools. We had schools participating in the tournament that have never participated before. It was great for our very small schools to partake in such an event. They would not have done so if it was a 2 day carnival and against the bigger schools. The game scorelines were much closer competition. There was no extra cost for overnight accommodation. Only one venue was needed to hold all games. Seniors given a chance to play (we allowed some senior teams to play - 1 to fill up the bus and help cover costs, 2 we only have 4 schools in our diocese that have Year 11/12, 3 it allowed those schools to play and see if they were going to be competitive or not)

Recommendations

The online registration was confusing for schools as it caused a lot of double handling. It also had that you must tick - have qualified referee to be able to register your team. NONE of our schools had these.

The cost turned a lot of schools off. We had budgeted the day, with umpires, first aid, food for helpers and umpires, there is no need for the nomination fee to be so much. Feedback from schools who did not participate was that it was too expensive.

We did not receive the medals in time CCC could have a note made up for winning teams that progress. Procedures they need to follow etc..

Overall - we felt that it was a VERY successful carnival

This event was superbly organised by Luke Adams from Macarthy College in Tamworth. For the first time in years there were no late withdrawals and as such the event ran according to the schedule.

80 NSWCCC Annual Report 2013

The facility in Tamworth is magnificent and it is perfect for tournaments of this size. There was however no flexibility to intrude on existing evening bookings so matches had to be completed by 6pm on both days.

The only real problem I see with using this venue for finals in the future is the lack of ability to secure enough referees and referees of a standard that befits a finals type event. The convener had difficulty in filling games and in fact refereed games himself. Several team coaches also agreed to referee to help out. The only way I can see this improving at a venue like this is to insist that teams bring their own non-playing referee who is at a minimum specified standard (should be discussed with BNSW). It is too costly for NSWCCC to arrange non-local referees and as such this cost needs to be borne by the participating schools.

If this is not addressed I find it difficult to support a finals event being staged at this venue.

Thanks to everyone who contributed and got in and rolled up their sleeves to ensure the carnival was efficiently rand professionally staged.

BASKETBALL SENIOR FINALS

2013 ANNUAL REPORT

Monday Senior Girls played at YMCA Hawkesbury Indoor Stadium

Senior Boys played at Penrith Valley Regional Sports Centre

Tuesday Senior Boys and Girls Played at Penrith Valley Regional Sports Centre

For the first time the senior event as staged as a stand-alone finals type event without the need for schools to attend a qualifying event. As such it was staged in Sydney in order to maintain a central location. Schools who indicated a desire to attend were then offered the opportunity to nominate to participate in either a Championships Division or a Plate Division. This was warmly received by all involved, and aided in the development of a suitable draw.

The Association enlisted the services of Basketball NSW who sourced and supplied referees. The refereeing was the best it has been at one of these events with zero complaints for the first time in years. I recommend that this continue in the future.

Congratulations to Monte Sant’ Angelo and Holy Sprit Bellambi who both won the Championship Division and as such earned the right to play in the All Schools Challenge.

NSW Schoolboys Cricket Championships Report The NSW Schoolboys Cricket Championships were held in the Sydney Metropolitan area on 11 – 15 March 2013.

Following rain affected selection trials in February NSWCCC selected a very strong team to participate in the Lord Taverners week.

Day 1 The NSWCCC Squad made a really positive start to the Carnival with first up win on Day 1 against CHS 2. After winning the toss and electing to bat first, Daniel Anderson (39) and Daniel Constable (21) gained a solid start before losing 4/12 in the middle part of the innings. Riley Ayre (34) and T. Smith (24) steadied the ship and swung the momentum back in our favour to post a defendable total of 184. The NSWCCC bowlers did the job by steadily taking wickets, together with some sharp fielding to bowl out CHS 2 for 94. Strong bowling performances from Trent Smith 3/21, Joseph Kershaw 3/19 and Liam Gough 2/17 closed out the victory. NSWCCC won by 90 runs.

Day 2 On the back of the group gelling quickly as a unit the NSWCCC squad went into game 2 against CAS with confidence. After losing the toss CAS elected to bat. Again our bowlers did the job on a wicket that was flat and slow, bowling CAS out for 178 off 48.3 overs. The bowlers all chipped in and did a job with Ayden Brown, Trent Smith, Riley Ayre, Liam Gough and Joesph Kershaw all claiming 2 wickets each. The run chase got off to a slow start with NSWCCC in trouble at 5/54 until Riley Ayre (45no) and Trent Smith (52) changed the game by combining in a 104 run partnership to close out the contest. NSWCCC won by 4 wickets.

Day 3 Sitting on top of the table after 2 days of play the NSWCCC squad again went into Day 3 full of confidence and prepared to play a traditionally strong GPS. After winning the toss the NSWCCC innings never got going losing wickets at regular intervals and in the end falling short of what would have been a defendable total. NSWCCC all out 123 (Joseph Kershaw 44, Sam Gainsford 30no). The GPS openers were solid enough to take the game away from us but NSW CCC hit back to take 5 wickets. GPS 5/124 with Ayden Brown, Riley Ayre, Sam Gainsford, Liam Gough, James Green all taking 1 wicket a piece.

Day 4 After the Day 3 setback the NSWCCC squad took on the competition leaders in CHS 1. After again winning the toss and batting first NSWCCC squad made a solid start and were 3/110 before a batting collapse to be out for 145. (Daniel Constable 29, Cameron Weir 33, Riley Ayre 30). The CHS 1 eventually got the target of 145 but for the loss of 8 wickets with the NSWCCC bowlers really giving the game a shake. CHS 1 at 7/99 looked like they might just fall short but they put on 50 runs for the 8th wicket. The game proving a tight contest with again NSWCCC falling about 20 runs short, CHS 1 8/148 (Ayden Brown 3/31, James Green 2/11, Riley Ayre 1/24).

85 NSWCCC Annual Report 2013

Day 5 The last day of the tournament is a Twenty20 with NSWCCC taking on CCSC. NSWCCC won the toss and batted first to post a total of 120. The total was short of expectations and was always going to be difficult to defend on a small ground. CCSC batting innings got going with aggression and were set in for a comprehensive victory until Joseph Kershaw stopped CCSC in their tracks to achieve a memorable Hat trick! Unfortunately it wasn’t enough to win the game with CCSC 5/122 in the 17th over.

The back end of the tournament didn’t quite go to plan but the results were encouraging given all games were in the balance. Unfortunately NSWCCC just fell 20 runs short of defendable totals in all three losses.

We would like to thank the great group of young talented cricketers and equally enthusiastic parents who chipped in scoring and ensured the boys had an enjoyable week. We wish the boys all the best in their bright cricketing futures!

BERG SHIELD AND DOWNIE TROPHY 2012-13

NSWCCC Cricket Competitions Report - Nicholas Downie Trophy and Br Brian Berg cfc Shield

Both state wide Catholic schools boys cricket competitions remain quite healthy with 68 teams in the Berg Shield (Years 7-9) and 63 teams in the Downie Trophy (Open age).

Both competitions are divided into four zones; two metropolitan and a north and south country split. The winners of each zone play off at the semi final point for a place in the final.

The finalists of the Berg Shield were Patrician Brothers’ Blacktown and St Paul’s College West Kempsey with the competition won by St Paul’s College.

I’d like to in particular thank St Gregory’s College Campbelltown for hosting one of the semi finals and the final back to back, including catering and facilities. Their generosity in assisting us was greatly appreciated.

The finalists of the Downie Trophy were Trinity College Lismore and De La Salle College Revesby. De La Salle College 10/204 were too strong on the day and prevailed against Trinty 10/76 at the final held at Howell Oval Penrith. Harry Dean from De La Salle Revesby scored 104 not out and Nathan Henderson took 5 wickets. I’d like to thank Penrith Cricket Club for hosting the final and for provision of their facilities and catering. Their willingness to assist was invaluable in having our final at a quality ground.

NSWCCC Selections Report In early March, 2013 the NSW Girls Cricket trials were held at Howell Oval, Penrith. In the midst of wild weather patterns, Penrith Cricket Club did a fantastic job preparing the venue and drying the out field for our use in conjunction with their indoor nets. Many thanks must go to Penrith Cricket Club, without their assistance the trials wouldn’t have ran as smoothly. With the largest number of girls in attendance in the past three years the future of NSWCCC girls cricket has a positive outlook. Girls were put through their paces with fielding, catching and sliding drills and were rotated through their net sessions with both bowlers and the bowling machine throughout the day. All positions were vacant and each girl toiled hard to gain a position in the team. The team was announced at the conclusion of trials, always the hardest part of the day from a coaches perspective, and the team was: Keira Perry (c), Julia Hunt, Tanya Bailey, Lauren Georgia Smith, Rebecca Miller, Emma Felsch, Clara Iemma, Caire Coelho, Rhiannon Graham, Emma Barry, Eliza Bunner and Kaelah Austin (wk).

NSW All Schools Report Between March 18th and 20th the NSWCCC Girls Cricket Team competed in the NSW All Schools Cricket Championship, held at Dalton Park; Wollongong. The tournament structure comprised of two T20s on day one, a fifty over match on day two and day three was also a 50 over match for final placings.

On day one, game one the NSWCCC team versed NSWCHS 2nds and came up victorious with a narrow win. Batting first we managed 2/109 (Lauren Smith 27 from 49, Claire Coelho 39 from 39, Keira Perry 22* off 28 and Julia Hunt 8* off 12). In response, CHS 2nds reached 5/103 with only two of their batters reaching double figures ( S. Darney 40 from 50 and T. Power 15* from 15). The wickets were shared with Rebecca Miller 1-26 from 4, Emma Felsch 1-10 from 2, Lauren Smith 1-7 from 4. Kaelah Ausitn also did well, stumping their opening batter. In the second T20 of the day the girls versed NSWCHS 1sts and were defeated. CHS 1sts batted first and reached 5/117 (L.Bardsley 45 from 53 and A. Gardner 26 from 25). The wickets were again shared and our best bowlers were Lauren Smith 1-19 from 4, Rebecca Miller 1-10 from 4 and Eliza Bunner 2-12 from 2. In reply, we fell short with 6/92 with poor shot selections four of our wickets were all caught close to the wicket. Best with the bat was Lauren Smith with 45 from 61 and Keira Perry 11 from 19.

On day two, and a change of format the NSWCCC girls came up against NSWCIS, the eventual winners of the tournament. The girls toiled hard but with two big innings from J.Taffs (90 from 125) and M.Hinkley (57 from 75) CIS compiled 6/215 from their 50 overs. The wickets went to Tanya Bailey 2-38 from 8 and Keira Perry 2-24. Our most economical bowlers without luck were Emma Felsch 0-18 from 9 overs and again Lauren Smith 0-18 from 10 overs. With the bat we had a top order collapse and were 2/5 with two of our strongest batters losing their wickets LBW and bowled. The girls fought back with runs from Lauren Smith (28 from 65), Claire Coelho (24 from 41), Julia Hunt (26 from 53), Tanya Bailey (31 from 39) and Rebecca Miller at number 10 went in swinging for the team and amazed 28 from 24 balls. However, we fell short with 10/175. The NSWCIS team performed well with the ball,

89 NSWCCC Annual Report 2013

bowling six maidens and their opening bowlers shone with A. Horton 2-28 from 10 overs (including three maidens) and T. Heddo 3-32 from 10 overs with one maiden.

On the final day, we were playing for third spot against NSWCHS 2nds in another 50 over match. After loosing the toss, we were sent in to bowl and CHS 2nds reached a total of 5/208 with strong batting from R.Li (20 from 55), J. Marks (49 from 84), F. Fernando (49 from 91) and R. Davis (56 from 45). The wickets were again shared with Rebecca Miller 1-34 from 9, Lauren Smith 1-34 from 8 and Eliza Bunner 1-21 from 6. Run outs also went to Eliza Bunner and Rhiannon Graham. In response, our top order fired with three of our top four reaching double figures; Lauren Smith 55 from 137, Clara Iemma 18 from 49 and Keira Perry 37 from 59. However, with NSWCHS 2nds making a bowling change when we were at 3/138 our wickets began to crumble and we only managed 23 runs for our next four wickets. The main damage was done by B. Vakavena 3-27 from 8 overs and S. MacDonald 2-22 from 10 overs. In the end, we lost with 8/174 and were placed fourth.

NSWCCC Championships Report The annual Combined Primary and Secondary Catholic Schools Cross Country Championship was held at Eastern Creek Raceway on Friday 14 June 2013.

In particular we specifically would like to thank the following:

Michael Vandervelde (CIS Convener): Track setup and design Craig Beacroft and his team, Scott Thomson, Stuart Guthrie and Steve Kovelis Marist College, Eastwood Student Officials and supervising teacher Martin Mooney Rod Ford and Alex True - Sydney Motor Sport Park (formerly ARDC) Set - up crew consisting of many willing hands.

2013 initiatives Working with CIS Convener using an alternate course that incorporated the Eastern Creek extension to racing track. The course was a better representation of a cross -country track. Feedback from runners was all positive.

Challenges  Change of Primary personal and retirement of Paul Cannon as the course -coordinator after many years in this role meant there were a number of different people in important roles.  Gate issues regarding the runners and families staying at the Chifley Hotel. People walking from the Chifley to the track had to walk around the course on an unsafe piece of road. The student coordinator spent the day using the MCE minibus as a shuttle run.  People walking from the carpark to the track, using the incorrect route and ignoring signs.  Last minute changes to the roster of security guards after a risk assessment.  Issues with handing out secondary team medals.  Issues with final results, student running in wrong bibs.  Secondary website issues. Student attending the day that hadn't registered for an expression of interest.  The check point at the 3km/4km had an issue in one race.

Recommendations 1. Discuss the road crossing with the Chifley Hotel problem in detail before the 2014 Cross country to come up with a better solution that ensures our runners and families are safe at all times in making their way to the track. I propose to open the gate and pay the necessary security. 2. Work again with CIS to run our cross country's as two day consecutive carnivals. 3. To separate the Primary medal presentations and secondary presentation areas to alleviate any anxiety and crowded presentations areas. 4. To make sure that appropriate personal are placed on the more difficult checkpoints.

94 NSWCCC Annual Report 2013

NSW won all three trophies:  The Relay trophy  The individual trophy  The most improved trophy

Congratulations to all.

Proposal To make a change the selection policy for the NSW team to progress to the School Sport Australia competition.

Currently The top 6 runners (based on times) in the u12/13, u14/15, u16/17 and 18+ age groups are chosen for both boys and girls. NB: Team size currently 60. Team size is allowed to be 72.

Proposed change To take the top 6 (based on times) 12/13 age group, top 8 in both 14/15 and 16/17 age groups, and the top 6 in the under 18 +. Raising the team size to 68.

This would leave four places. These places would only be used if: Ties occur , timing chips or computer malfunctions occur, protest happen that cant be resolved.

AWD selection policy would stay the same.

This would raise the team size from 60 to 72. This would not need additional staffing.

NSWCCC Championships Report The NSW Combined Catholic Colleges Diving Competition was held at SOPA Homebush on Tuesday 30th March. There were a record 50 competitors, 20 more than last year. Once again the standard of diving improved dramatically from 2012 with divers competing dives with a much higher degree of difficulty. There were also several divers competing from the 5m and 7.5m platforms.

It was great to see almost all of last year’s 12 and 13yr old divers back as well as an increase in boys participation. Stand out age groups this year were 14 yrs girls age group where we progressed 5 divers to All Schools, 3 on springboard and 2 on platform and the 15 yrs girls age group where the standard of dives and execution were quite high. In the boys events, there were competitors in all age groups apart from 16yrs.

Each year we are now farewelling divers who have competed at the CCC level their entire high school life. This year we said goodbye to some girls from Santa Sabina who have been a credit to their school and NSWCCC diving. Anna Power and Elise Cummins started diving in year 7 and have represented their school at NSW CCC and NSW All Schools competitions over the past 6 years. I would personally like to commend them on their commitment to diving and thank them for being great ambassadors of NSWCCC.

This competition would not run as smoothly without the support and expertise of a number of people. I would like to thank Sue Milford School Sport Australia National Diving Secretary for setting up the computer and refereeing all events. Thanks to John Holmann for organising the electronic judges pads and scoreboard and for the officials from Diving NSW for judging throughout the day. Finally, I’d like to thank Kym Skerritt, Stuart Guthrie and Cath Walker for their continued support of NSWCCC diving.

NSW All Schools Championships Report The NSW All Schools Diving Championships took place Thursday 9th May at SOPA. NSWCCC was well represented with 27 competitors in total, 9 boys and 18 girls. We also had 7 divers represented in platform events, which was a significant increase from previous years.

It was an early start for the divers with the mass warm up beginning at 7.30am. All divers made good use of warm up time to improve technique and complete as many repetitions as possible of their dives. A big thank you must be given here to Allen Bull, Diving NSW Coaching Director, for assisting in the coaching of NSWCCC divers during this busy morning training session.

As always, the competition began with the older age groups and our 16 and 17yr old divers held their own amongst the more experienced divers, some of whom are members of NSWIS. It was in the 17-19 girls platform where we won our first medal with Ellen Martin (Cerdon College) placing 2nd. From then, the placings continued with Nathan Calman (St Gregory’s College) coming 3rd in the 15yr boys springboard and 3rd in the 15-16yr boys platform. Liam Wood (St Pius X) achieved 2nd place in the 14yrs boys springboard event. The day finished with Millicent Marks (Bethlehem College) coming 2nd in the 12-13yrs girls platform and 1st in the 12yrs girls springboard.

Ellen Martin 2nd Nathan Calman 3rd Milly Marks 1st Liam Wood 2nd

All divers enjoyed the experience the NSW All Schools competition brings, with many increasing their training to ensure they make the team next year. I also encourage NSWCCC divers to make their way onto the platforms to give them more chances to compete in the future.

Once again, all NSWCCC divers conducted themselves extremely well with the more experienced divers assisting the younger divers. Sportsmanship and good manners were displayed throughout the day and I am proud of the achievements of all NSWCCC divers.

School Sport Australia Report 2013 saw South Australia hold the School Sport Australia Swimming and Diving Championships for the first time. It took place in the relatively new South Australian Aquatic and Leisure Centre from Sunday 8th September – Saturday 14th September.

NSWCCC was represented this year by 3 divers who dived in all 4 events (springboard, platform, synchronised diving and the team event) which was a first for our divers. The divers included Ellen Martin (Cerdon College) 17yrs girls, Nathan Calman (St Gregory’s College) 15yrs boys and Millicent (Milly) Marks (Bethlehem College) 12yrs girls.

From the first day of training on Sunday, all NSWCCC divers made the best use of their time. They trained both springboard and platform in the first few days, adding their synchronised training in the second half of the week. Ellen pushed through her platform training despite having serious issues with the metal plate in her arm and both Nathan and Milly showed their prowess by diving from the 7.5m platform.

On the first day of competition, despite diving well, our NSWCCC divers did not medal. It wasn’t until day 2 that Nathan broke through with a 2nd place in his 15yrs boys springboard event. This was Nathan’s first ever SSA medal and he was extremely pleased with his effort. He then backed this up on day 3 with a silver medal, in the 15- 16yrs boys synchronised event. Nathan and his partner Fred had been leading going into the last round where they were narrowly beaten.

Nathan Calman 1st place in the 15-16 years Boys Platform, 2nd place in the 15 years Boys Springboard, 2nd place in the 15-16 years Boys Synchronised Diving

Thursday was the excursion day to The Royal Adelaide Show. As you can see from the picture below, our NSWCCC divers had a wonderful time. Activities included watching show jumping in the main arena, sampling fresh foods from farms in the region, and of course checking out the rides and show bags on offer. Once again, our divers conducted themselves professionally; meeting on time at each checkpoint, staying with their groups and enjoying the day in the spirit it was intended.

Milly, Nathan and Ellen, ready for an exciting day at The Royal Adelaide Show

After such an exciting day, our divers had to back up for competition on Friday where NSWCCC had their most successful day in School Sport Australia diving history. It began with Ellen Martin winning gold in the 17-19yrs girls synchronised, Nathan Calman securing gold in the boys 15-16yrs platform and Milly Marks coming third in the 12- 13yrs girls synchronised event.

Millicent Marks 3rd place in the 12-13 years Girls Synchronised Diving

99 NSWCCC Annual Report 2013

Ellen Martin 1st place in the 17-19 years Girls Synchronised Diving

Needless to say, I am extremely proud of the achievements of the NSWCCC divers and hope they continue with diving in the years to come. They conducted themselves with distinction at all times and were a pleasure to have at this event. I’d also like to commend Ellen, Nathan and Milly’s parents for supporting their children in the lead up to and throughout this event. There is a significant amount of paperwork to decipher in the lead up to an event like this and the divers could not compete without their parents looking after them in South Australia. Our divers were always on time and in the correct gear which was greatly appreciated by all NSW managers.

NSWCCC Selections Report The long journey to the NSW All Schools Football tournament began for many of the players back in March as they trialled successfully for their own Diocesen team. The boys finally came together to compete in the NSWCCC selections in Bathurst, Western NSW. The tournament was again successfully hosted out west, with the numerous fields and abundant hospitality making an ideal venue for the players to compete in tournament play. With many players identified at the Carnival, it proved to be a difficult task to select the team.

All Schools Report The boys that were successful went on to represent the NSWCCC with pride at the NSW All Schools Tournament in Sutherland. The results at the tournament were varied, with the boys proving to all that they had the talents to match it with the best. Crucial lapses in the last minutes of games were to cost them dearly on the points table, recording 2 draws and a tight loss against the other teams. In the opening match against NSWCHS (2) the boys raced to a 3-1 lead with 10 minutes to go, only to concede 2 goals in the last 5 minutes to eventually draw 3-3.

Adventurous play from Alex Vlismas and Joshua Spina set the tone for the week as the players played a very attacking brand of football. The next morning proved to be the reverse, with a fairly dour 0-0 draw recorded as both sides struggled with the 9am kickoff after tough games against CHS the night before.

The final match against CHS (1) proved to be a cracker, with the NSWCCC team again racing to a 2 – 0 lead. The lead was kept intact through some great goalkeeping by Thomas Manos and was superbly set up by Vincent Gianinni. The NSWCHS (1) team began to dominate the tired legs of the CCC boys who had thrown everything at the challenge in the first half. Eventually to the boys disappointment they concede 3 late goals to go down 3-2 in a great match.

All of the players represented the NSWCCC with pride and passion and were great ambassadors for their schools. Individually, Thomas Manos and Vincent Gianinni were rewarded for their great play with the honour of being named in the NSW All Schools Team for 2013. On behalf of the team I would also like to thank Trent Worrall for his endeavors and organisational skills as Manager/Assistant Coach. His efforts for the team both on and off the pitch were greatly valued.

101 NSWCCC Annual Report 2013

School Sport Australia Report The School Sport Australia Championships were held at the AIS in Canberra for 2013. The excellent facilities and ground surfaces enabled the players to fully showcase their talents in their efforts to secure a place in the prestigious Australian Schoolboys Squad for 2013. The NSW boys got off to a flying start in the tournament, with a 7-1 rout of Western Australia on the first morning. The highlight of the goals came from the young NSWCCC player Vincent Giannini who managed a great volley from a tough angle to put the game out of WA’s reach. Throughout the course of the week, some tough conditions led to the football becoming a little scrappy at times, with strong winds becoming every footballer’s enemy! The player’s commitment and dedication to the cause was second to none as they threw themselves into every match searching for maximum points. Whilst the NSW team was rarely troubled, a couple of draws placed them in a precarious position on the final day, needing to win to claim the gold medal. With a few minutes to go the boys were awarded a penalty which would have secured the tournament, but a fine save by Victoria’s keeper meant the dreaded draw reared again, and the boys had to settle for a Silver Medal. A memorable week for the players was capped off by a fine individual honour for Reece Pappas, who was named player of the tournament, and 7 players being named as Australian Schoolboys.

School Sport Australia Report The 2013 Championships were held this year in Canberra from Saturday 3rd August to Friday 9th August. The NSW team consisted of girls from a variety of State, Catholic and Independent high schools.

The weather in Canberra was windy and very cold which made playing very difficult during the week long competition. All the girls played very competitively and worked well together as a team in each game to ensure that they remained undefeated throughout the competition. They had solid wins against Victoria and South Australia and a draw with Queensland their main rivals in the competition.

104 NSWCCC Annual Report 2013

The girls were credit to NSW conducting themselves in a professional manner on and off the field. They displayed great determination and skill throughout each game and this resulted in them winning the Championship.

Congratulation to all the girls and in particular to Georgia Keen (Trinity Catholic College Lismore) from NSWCCC who was selected for the Australian Schoolgirls team.

A fantastic achievement. It was a pleasure to be the Assistant Coach.

NSWCCC Selections Report (Southern) Once again Camden Lakeside was the venue for the annual NSWCCC event which doubles as a qualifying tournament for the NSW All Schools Championships.

Daniel Kolar clinched a position in the NSW All Schools Matchplay Championship with a flawless round of 5 under par 67 on a soggy layout that had some of the shorter hitters struggling to reach some of the longer par 4’s in regulation. Mitch Norbis and local player Ethan Blackwell fired solid rounds of 71. Best net score was Adam Snare with 67. Boys to qualify for the NSW All Schools Strokeplay this year are listed below

NSWCCC Selections Report (Northern) Wauchope Country Club was the venue for the 2013 northern trials for students from Catholic and Independent Schools with majority of players travelling from Coffs Harbour. John Paul College and Bishop Druitt College accounting for a quarter of the field.

Boys gross winner on the day was Will Barnett from Scone with a solid round of 72. Hunter Valley friend Ben Stokes from St Catherine’s Singleton also fired a one over 72 to book a place in the NSW All Schools Championships at Blackheath early in May. The boys will be joined at the Championships by Matt McLean (St John's College Woodlawn), Jackson Jubelin (St Paul's High Port Macquarie), Jack Hickey, Jack Pountney, Bill Stocks (All John Paul College, Coffs Harbour) and Jye Forrester. Jack Hickey had the best net score with an excellent 68 in the difficult conditions.Recent heavy rain insured the tight Wauchope layout would play to its full length with thick rough and little run to help the shorter hitters. 2012 NSW All Schools representative Jessica Laskey (CIS) had the best score of the girls with a creditable 76 to win the gross event. Leading NSWCCC girl was Port Macquarie’s Lily Baker who shot 83 off the stick. John Paul College’s Brooke Conroy fired the best net score with a 69. Millie Hickman will join Lily, Brooke and the other NSWCCC boys as part of the 24 strong Catholic Schools squad in the Blue Mountains early in May for the NSW All Schools Championships and the Jack Newton Shield.

NSW All Schools Strokeplay Championships Report The NSW All Schools Championships returned to Blackheath this year. A capacity field of 128 players hit-off in brisk, drizzly conditions early Tuesday morning. Lightning fast and firm greens made scoring difficult on the short but tight layout where position was more important than length. Surprise first round leader in the boy’s competition was Daniel Davies from St Joseph’s Albion Park who signed for an impressive 3 under par 66 to hold a two shot lead from Zac Stoltz and Kristian Hooker. Jack Pountney (John Paul College Coffs Harbour) shot 70, Jamie Krzyszczak(St Joseph’s Albion Park) and Ben Stokes(St Catherine’s Singleton) fired 72’s to be well positioned after day 1.

After 36 holes a play-off was needed to separate Zac Stoltz and Fidel Conception with Fidel prevailing after 6 tense holes to win his first NSW All Schools Championships. Boys to book themselves a place in the NSWCCC team were Daniel Davies, Jack Pountney, Jamie Krzyszczak and Daniel Kolar (Marist College Pagewood).

The girl’s NSWCCC numbers were depleted by injury and HSC commitments. Doey Choi (Santa Sabina) placed equal second in the girl’s NSW All Schools competition. Rising star Lily Baker from Port Macquarie (St Paul’s) announced her arrival at this level with two solid rounds to cement her position in the NSWCCC team. Doey and Lily will be joined in the team by Millie Hickman (John Paul College Coffs Harbour) and Danielle Vasquez (St Joseph’s Albion Park). Overall girl winner was Sheridan Gorton from Wollumbin.

Daniel Davies was crowned NSWCCC Boys Champion for 2013 with Doey Choi winning the Girl’s event this year. Jack Pountney and Lily Baker were the respective runners up in the scratch events. Jack Hickey (John Paul College Coffs Harbour) won the net event from Daniel Kolar.

NSW All Schools Matchplay Championships Report Doey and Lily were our two matchplay representatives this year Lily was paired against the powerful Kura Poko, a 2012 State team member, in the morning round. Despite leading 4 up early Lily was eventually beaten 1 down in a tight match that could have gone either way. Lily showed great composure under pressure and has a very bright future in school golf. Doey was seeded was into the quarter finals but lost a close game to her Sydney rival Nisha Jomjaturong who almost caused a huge upset in the semi losing narrowly to state team player Jess Laskey.

NSWCCC boys’ Daniel Kolar and Will Barnett (St Joseph’s Aberdeen) faired much better with Will disposing of Justin Kim from CIS 3 and 1 in his first round match. Daniel defeated good mate Joe Trinder 2 up. Daniel faced NSW All Schools Champion Fidel Conception in his quarter final and after being two down early in the match, rallied to defeat Fidel on the last to win 1 up. Meanwhile Will defeated the Hunter’s Hayden Gulliver 3 and 2. 111 NSWCCC Annual Report 2013

Unfortunately the boys were on the same side of the draw and met each other in the semi final with Will prevailing 4 and 3 in a solid matchplay performance. Will then faced off against former USPGA tour player Andre Stoltz’s son Zac in the final. The final was a close tussle all day with Zac taking an early lead which was soon overhauled by Will as he fired a number of birdies including a 3 at the difficult 10th hole to maintain his 2 up lead. Zac clawed his way back into the match with a fortuitous bounce off a tree onto the green on the short par 5 14th which enabled him to make 4 and square the match.

A slick birdie on the long par 3 15th gave Will the lead once again which disappeared on the next hole. The boys stood on the 18th tee all square and remarkably BOTH players hit their tee shots out of bounds. A birdie with his second ball enabled Zac to win the hole and the match one up. Will’s strong showing in the matchplay earned him selection in the NSWCCC team for 2013.

Once again thanks to the members and staff of both Blackheath and Wentworth Falls Golf Clubs for their assistance in running both tournaments and for “giving up” their courses for the duration of the events.

Jack Newton Shield Report Wentworth Falls Golf Club played host to the Year 7-9 All Schools event for the first time with chilly conditions greeting the players on Tuesday morning. A strong contingent of students (18) from Catholic schools attended the tournament with testing conditions on the firm greens and fast running fairways. Sisters Madeline and Teresa Nurdi from St Ursula’s Kinsgrove completed a remarkable double with Teresa winning the overall net competition and older sibling Madeline capturing the coveted scratch event with rounds of 79 – 87 to romp in by 11 shots. Other students to play well were Lachlan Bill from Trinity Catholic College who won the year 8 boys gross, Casey Cook(Lumen Christi) year 8 girls net winner, Tess Clarke(Bridgidine College St Ives)year 9 girls gross winner and Brooke Conroy(John Paul College Coffs Harbour) year 9 girls net winner. Courtney Miller (St Francis Xavier) and Luke Corcoran from Marist College both won daily net events. Congratulations to the Nurdi girls who both won trips to NZ with the NSW team in February 2014.

Students Selected in NSW All Schools Team Doey Choi Santa Sabina Strathfield Daniel Kolar Marist College Pagewood (reserve) Will Barnett St Joseph’s High Aberdeen (reserve)

Doey withdrew and Daniel Kolar was called up into the team for the School Sport Australia Championships which were held just outside of Geelong in Victoria.

NSW All Schools Trials Report The NSW All Schools selection trials were held at Wagga Wagga Country Club during the last week of term 2. Students from Catholic schools have a proud tradition at this level with over a dozen players gaining selection in the School Sport Australia merit teams in the last 10 years. The girls team this year comprised 3 year 8 students and 1 from year 10. Lowest marker was Santa Sabina's Doey Choi with a one handicap. Danielle Vasquez from St Joseph's Albion Park and Lily Baker St Paul's Port Macquarie were the two other Year 8 girls with John Paul College Coffs Harbour's Year 10 student Millie Hickman rounding off a very youthful team for 2013. All the girls played well on the tricky Wagga layout with Danielle and Lily showing that they are stars of the future with consistent rounds that enabled Lily to place 9th overall and almost force her way into the NSW All Schools Team. Doey continued on her good form from Blackheath and was rewarded with selection in the NSW All Schools Team. The boys’ team this year was made up of two more students from St Joseph's Albion Park, Jamie Kryzszczak, and Daniel Davies who were both well placed after the NSW All Schools Championships at Blackheath earlier in May. Daniel Kolar (Marcellin Randwick), Will Barnett (St Joseph's Aberdeen) and Jack Pountney (John Paul College Coffs Harbour) were the other members of the team. After 3 rounds selectors had a very difficult task separating a number of players as the scores were very close. Daniel Kolar and Will Barnett were both selected as reserves for the boys’ team so they will both be hoping for a withdrawal. This is the first time in many years that the Allschools Boys Team has no student from a Catholic school in the squad. Perhaps this is a reflection of the youthfulness of the team with 3 fifteen year olds and 2 seventeen year olds in the side which along with a very young girls team, augers well for 2014. Congratulations to St. Joseph’s Albion Park and John Paul College Coffs Harbour for having three and two students respectively selected in the NSWCCC Team. Of the 9 CCC players 7 players were from country schools. Thanks must be given to the Jack Newton Junior Golf Foundation for their continued support of young golfers throughout NSW. The CHS Riverina organisers are also to be applauded for their efforts in ensuring a smoothly run event. Jason Wilesmith the RIverina RSO and his team organised starters, spotters, free practice balls for the players each day and a catering service after each 9 holes of play. The staff and members of the Wagga Wagga Country Club were 116 NSWCCC Annual Report 2013

great hosts and very appreciative of the high standard of both etiquette and play displayed by all students attending the carnival. Particular thanks to local teacher Darren Watt for his thorough and thoughtful work as carnival manager. Darren is a well credentialed player in his own right and his meticulous approach ensured that all players enjoyed their week immensely.

School Sport Australia Championships 2013 Report The venue for this year’s School Sport Australia Golf Championships was outstanding and the Victorian School Sport Unit and the state Golf Association should be commended for the organisation of the event which was first class, ensuring players from all states had a rewarding experience on the Bellarine Peninsular, close to Geelong on Victoria’s famed “Surf Coast”.

The hosting clubs of 13th Beach, Curlewis Golf Club, Point Lonsdale and Barwon Heads should also be acknowledged for the magnificent condition of the courses and the generosity of club members in giving up their golf days so that the country's best juniors could experience some of the best courses in Australia.

The NSW Boys team finished a very close second to Qld in the coveted matchplay event. NSW had one loss whilst the Queenslanders had a half with Victoria. Qld also eclipsed NSW in the team Strokeplay competition by 5 shots.

Zac Stolz and Fidel Concepcion narrowly missed a play-off in the individual event which was won after a 4 man play-off by ACT's Josh Armstrong after he knocked his approach to 6 inches on the short par 4 first hole to secure the national title.

All the boys on the team should be praised not only for their talent but for the manner in which they conducted themselves both on and off the course. Daniel Gale did an excellent job as captain supporting his team mates and manager Nigel Black. Zac Stolz was head navigator for the numerous bus trips and always first helper to load up or unload the trailer. Undefeated Zac was also a great mentor to his less experienced team mates.

NSWCCC player Dan Kolar won 4 of 5 games at number 6, Justin Warren won a number of matches after slow starts with only one 3 putt for the week with a brand new putter which no doubt will be in the bag for some time. Tamworth boy Nathan Mann continued his consistent NSWAllschools form playing very solidly at number 5 for NSW. Zac and Fidel were rewarded for their fine play with selection in the Australian Merit Team for 2013.

The girls’ team were also in the hunt for the title right up until the final day but as usual the QLD girls were very strong and the depth of their team has seen them win a number of titles in the last few years. Becky Kay's outstanding 75-68 in the strokeplay at 13th beach was remarkable in the windy conditions. She is a worthy national champion.

119 NSWCCC Annual Report 2013

Girls’ manager Denise Clunes had the girls match ready every morning and with Jess Laskey winning every match at number one the girls were close in every game. Jess's consistent play ensured her selection in the Australian team with the consistent Sheridan Gorton just missing out. Chloe Goadby, Chloe Pearce, Nisha Jomjaturong and Kura Poko also played very well for NSW and with 5 of the players available next year success could be just around the corner for the NSW Girls team.

Without winning it was a very successful week with all players forging great friendships and gaining valuable experience on "links" style golf courses. As previously stated the behaviour of all players in the squad was exceptional and they are a credit not only to NSW All Schools Golf, but also to their home clubs, their schools and their families.

The Jack Newton Junior Golf Foundation should also be thanked for its ongoing support and development of junior golf at all levels in NSW. This has enabled many players to have the opportunity to become involved in and succeed in what we in the know understand that golf is "a game for life".

The boys played in a series of matches and due to the high number of goalkeepers we also had a number of drills to assist in the selection process. Finalising the team was a difficult task with a number of positions coming right down to the wire. Thank you to all students that travelled long distances for the morning trial and displaying their best hockey on the day.

Tri-Series Report The 2013 Tri-Series between NSWCCC, CHS and CIS took place at Olympic Park, Sydney on Monday 17th June. The standard of hockey was very high and all matches were competitive.

GAME 1 CCC 3 v CHS 4 Goals: Brad Hughes 2, Bailey Powell Best: Brad Hughes, Isaac Farmillo, Justin Donoghue CHS started well and took an early 2-0 lead. The boys then fought back and with goals to Brad Hughes and Bailey Powell leveled things for a 2-2 half time score. We then dominated possession for much of the second half only to again surrender the lead. Another goal to Brad Hughes restored the scoreline to 3-3 with 5 minutes to play. Pressing for the win in the final stages of the match, we came close a few times only to be found short at the back on the counter and conceding late in the game to lose 4-3. GAME 2 CCC 6 v CIS 1 Goals: Alex Powell 2, Brad Hughes 2, Isaac Farmillo Best: Max Hughes, Kurt Lovett, Brad Hughes A much better start to this game although once again conceding an early goal. We worked well as a team to build pressure on the opposition and maintain possession for much of the first half. Goals to Alex Powell, Brad Hughes and Isaac Farmillo sent us to half time with a 3-1 lead. Numerous second half saves by goalkeeper Max Hughes led the way for a dominating performance running away 5-1 winners. We then needed to rely on a favorable result in the final game of the tournament. GAME 3 CCC 5 v CHS 3 Meaning that we finished in 2nd place for the overall series. All players selected were very good ambassadors for their schools and families and all mixed well. They all shared the workload on the field, demonstrated courtesy, respect, sportsmanship and excellent behaviour at all times during the day. Their contribution to the team was always positive and in doing so they were able to play hockey at the highest level. Thanks also go to Ryan Proctor for his leadership in coaching the team on the day. Congratulations to the boys on a good performance and on representing NSWCCC.

All Schools Report The NSW All Schools selection trial ran very smoothly this year. The Anne Clark Centre was a great venue to hold the trials, as there was a playing court and warm up court available.

This year NSWCCC invited 2 shadow players to attend the trial, as we were able to extend our numbers to 12.

All girls trialed well on the night displaying excellent skills and athleticism. 5 girls were selected into the All Schools team.

We congratulate these girls on their selection and wish them the best of luck as they prepare for the Championships in Launceston from 27 July – 2 August.

Netball Challenge On the 15 September the CCC 15s competed in the Tri-series against CHS and CIS at the Anne Clark Centre, Lidcombe.

For a team that only really had one training session, the girls bonded well and played some good netball. It was evident that this was a skilled group of athletes who displayed some brilliant netball in patches, but also turned over a lot of ball due to not really knowing each other’s style of play.

The girls however, were keen to take on board what they were told, and always gave 100% when they were on the court.

The team lost both their games and ended the day with the bronze medal.

We would like to thank the parents who came to support the girls and assisted with scoring.

NSWCCC Selections Report The NSW Combined Catholic Colleges 2013 netball selections were held at the Anne Clark Netball Centre Lidcombe. The Opens trials were held Monday 6th May where fifty-four players registered to trial.

Selectors were: Megan Quarmby, Lumen Christi Catholic College Pambula Kylie Jordan, James Sheehan Catholic High School Orange Tania Dorahy, Monte Sant’ Angelo Mercy College North Sydney

The standard of play was excellent. All players are to be congratulated on their attitude and involvement in the selection process. The process worked particularly well. Players were placed in teams as they arrived and were then placed in different teams depending on their nominated positions. This ensured all players had adequate opportunities in both their nominated positions. Parents were very happy with the day and appreciated the input given by Margaret Corbett to individual players. The process was reviewed and input sought from selectors, CCC personnel, parents, students and staff in attendance. After analysing this input, the netball committee have decided that this format is the preferred one and will therefore be the process used for future selections.

Netball Challenge Sunday 15th September saw the Under 15's and Opens teams compete in the All Schools Challenge at the Anne Clarke Netball Centre, which was the first real opportunity to play together as a team. The CCC Open's have not taken out the tri series since 2009 so this was a great incentive.

Taking on CHS and CIS respectively it was a tight contest, with some real talent present. With 2 early injuries to Samantha Rogers, who had only flown in the night before after representing NSWCCC in touch football, with a back injury and a knee injury to Emma Woods, the bench was looking pretty bare. (Here's hoping for a speedy recovery!) CCC rose to the challenge and played some brilliant netball to see them take out the game in a close 37-35 win.

With half an hours break, the girls refuelled and took on a strong CIS. With some consistent shooting from Alisha Cairns, Maddison Rullis and Braeden Quince and some excellent defence from Kara Styles, Alysha Skerritt and Jordyn Chue and some brilliant feeding into the circle by Kiera Austin and Claire O'Brien the girls took the lead early. CIS came back in the second half, but with a strong lead they could not catch the CCC team, who took out the game 43-33.

With a wonderful display of netball, commerardary and fun, the girls deserved to take out the All Schools Challenge.

NSWCCC RUGBY LEAGUE PRESIDENTS REPORT 2013

It is with great pride and humility that I present to all our members the 2013 NSW Combined Catholic Colleges Rugby League Annual. The annual covers the year in review from the State Selection Trials, each association’s results and the National Championship results. A magazine such as this would not be possible without the dedication and effort of our Publicity Officer-James Clancy. James’ attention to detail and patience is reflected in the quality of this annual.

To all the Principal’s that run our great Catholic schools, I thank you for supporting our rugby league programs. Their willingness to have their students involved in Catholic Schoolboys Rugby League enables us to run our programs along with the support of the NSW RL and NRLC. To all the teachers who give up their time to coach their teams and attend the various carnivals, I thank you for your generosity and care.

The State selection Trials were held at St Mary’s, due to the generous support of Warren Smith and the Board. We are extremely fortunate to have a world class facility for our students to display their talents during these trials. The staff at St Mary’s go out of their way to ensure that every detail is covered and hence we are able to run a professional State Trial.

At the ASSRL Championships both our 15’s and 18’s did not perform to their ability and so we did not feature in the finals of both age groups. Injuries and poor decisions cost both teams opportunities to win their semi-final games. On behalf of the NSW CCC RL family I would like to thank the coaching staff of both teams for their tireless work and preparation.

The NSW Rugby League has been a great supporter of the NSWCCC RL and again has provided financial assistance in the form of a grant to promote rugby league in Catholic schools. The grant that they provide helps us to keep Catholic Schoolboy Rugby League going at the grassroots by channeling these funds to the various affiliated associations to assist with gear and levies. I would also like to personally thank Tas Baitieri for his genuine support for our Association. Also to Andrew Hill, Gareth Holmes and Martin Meredith from the NRLC, thank you for your support and assistance with all our programs.

Once again we have been extremely fortunate to have some very wonderful people and organization support us through some form of donation. To St Mary’s Leagues Club,Westend Constructions, I thank you for your generous support.I would also like to thank NSW RL Referees Associations and all NRL clubs for the support they have provided throughout the year.

The CCC Cup entered its third year and again we had a record number of entries.

I would like to thank all the executive members for their dedication and professionalism they have displayed throughout the course of the year. To Ann-Marie Bissett (Secretary), Fady Ghanem (Treasurer), James Clancy (Publicity Officer), Mark Falkenmire (Country Vice President), Tim White (City Vice President), thank you for being a great hard-working, supportive committee. To all our General Committee, the convenors- Steve Hooper (Southern Country), Scott Asimus (Northern Country), David Credaro (Sydney Independents Catholic Colleges), Aaron McDonald (MCS) Vlad Kulish (CBSA) and Chris Duncombe (MCC) , thank you for the wonderful work you do at your association levels and contribution to NSWCCCRL. To Peter Ross from Patrician Brothers Blacktown, thank you for running one of our CCC Cup Gala Days.

As we draw closer to the end of another year and we look forward to next year we are challenged to dust ourselves off and work harder as a team to get those two trophies back.

I wish you and all your family a very safe and loving Christmas and New Year period.

Nal. Wijesekera President NSWCCC Rugby League

The Under 15 side came into the championships as defending champions which saw them enter the 2013 championships as the team to beat. The squad and its staff were under no illusions as to how difficult the task would be to go back to back.

With this is mind, the squad had an excellent preparation over a number of weekends at Holy Cross College at Ryde where players and staff worked on developing combinations and implementing tactics. Their early hard work was rewarded with a convincing trial game win over a Wests Tigers Development Squad at St.Marys. In the final days leading up to the championships the squad had a camp at Mulgoa which further developed everything that was introduced at previous training sessions. Whilst at Mulgoa, the team was privileged to have NSWCCC life member Phil Tobin speak to them about the history of NSWCCC Rugby League. After this talk it was clear to all of the squad how much of a privilege and honour it is to wear the NSWCCC jersey. Wests Tigers and former NSWCCC player James Tedesco also spoke to the team and presented the jerseys emphasising Phil’s earlier talk about the honour of representing NSWCCC. Another former NSWCCC player Tim Auremi spoke to the team the following night about life after football and the importance of school work and study.

After an excellent camp at Mulgoa it was then on the bus to Canberra to defend the title. The boys checked into their accommodation and put on all their winter gear to brave the Canberra cold. Before our first game, the squad attended Mass at Holy Rosary Catholic Church at Watson with the Parish Priest and congregation very impressed with the boys uniform, behaviour and reverence.

Our first game was against NSWCHS and the team were expecting a tough encounter. After trading sets with NSWCHS, a real arm wrestle developed with both sides having early chances. NSWCCC took the early advantage though scoring first and went in with a comfortable half time lead. After the half time break, our boys took their game to another level blowing NSWCHS off the field with some scintillating Rugby League. The final score ended up 28-6, a great start to the championships. The team had now made a statement that they were the team to beat.

NSWCCC 28 (Tries Kobi Hookey 2, Lachlan Lam, Christian Poutua, Raymond Maroun Goals Jonah Metuangaro 3)defeated NSWCHS 6 (Tries Alvin Maungaati Goals Adam Campbell) NSWCCC MVP #11 Brodie Jones (ASC St Joseph’s Lochinvar).

After the game it was then back to the accommodation to put ice on the bumps and bruises and prepare for Queensland the next day. Queensland we knew would be a much tougher opposition. On Monday, Canberra turned on the type of weather it is famous for, freezing cold! Added to this, there was also heavy rain at the ground, creating a set of conditions that not many of our players had previously experienced. Both sides started off slow with errors featuring regularly early on. Queensland adapted to the conditions better and played a tough and physical game in the middle, managing to hold the ball and control possession. On the contrary, NSWCCC could not have played any worse, managing to only complete one set of six in the second half. The wet and cold

138 NSWCCC Annual Report 2013

conditions did not suit our style of play and Queensland ended up running away 12-0 winners. After a convincing win over NSWCHS on Day 1, the boys had come crashing back down to earth with a thud.

Queensland Maroon 12 (Tries Kalyn Ponga, Zane Willshire, Tommy Sa’u) defeated NSWCCC 0. NSWCCC MVP #19 Samuel Radovu (Patrician Brothers College Blacktown).

The day off after the Queensland game proved to be good rest and relax for the team after two tough games in a row. On the day off, the players went to the Australian Institute of Sport where they listened to a number of talks from NRL staff, Australian Federal Police and Sports Scientists. To conclude the day, the team took part in a high performance recovery session ran by AIS staff which proved to be very beneficial for the squad. It was now time for the big semi final clash and a rematch with NSWCHS. NSWCHS had improved significantly after Day 1 and had given Queensland a real scare the day before so the squad knew it would be a much tougher game than the first time we played. The game started off as a very physical encounter with both teams showing how much they wanted a place in the Final. NSWCCC dominated the early exchanges and looked the better team but could not come up with any points to show for it. NSWCHS kept in the game and scored 2 late tries against the play to take in a 12-0 lead at half time. Again, after dominating the early exchanges in the second half, the boys could not come up with a try and credit must be given to the outstanding defence of NSWCHS. The second half remained scoreless and the NSWCHS ran out surprise 12-0 winners, a result not many people would have expected after Day 1.

NSWCHS 12 (Tries Jesse Wighton, Amaziah Slavin GoalsBilal Maarbani) def NSWCCC 0. NSWCCC MVP #13 Kurtis Dark ( St Clare’s High School Taree).

After this shock loss, reality had set in that NSWCCC’s title defence was now over. The team now had to regroup for their final game against ACT with this game being the last chance to push claims for Australian jerseys. Before this game, the team had a day off to spend with their parents whom many players hadn’t seen for quite some time. The day was capped off with a team dinner at the Hellenic Club in Woden with almost 70 people in attendance. This night showed what great support the players had from their parents, family and friends, the majority of whom had travelled down to Canberra for the week to watch the team play. I would like to thank the parents for their ongoing support to both the players and the staff throughout the championships, it was greatly appreciated. The night then finished off with a number of awards handed out to players and speeches by staff and executive.

The final day was our game against ACT. It wasn’t the game we had hoped to be playing in but nonetheless the team showed great attitude in their preparation for the game. After a very slow start to the game, the players eventually showed their dominance over ACT and ran out convincing 30-6 winners. It was a shame that this type of performance which the staff knew they were capable of was not evident in the previous two games.

NSWCCC 30 (Tries Raymond Maroun, Stefano Soni, Christian Poutoa, Will Kerr, Jonah Metuangaro, Hosea Leuea Goals Jonah Metuangaro 3) defeated ACT 6 (Tries Nick Cotric Goals Jack Heyman). NSWCCC MVP #20 Siosaia Mataka (Mt Carmel Catholic High School Varroville). After our final game, the players stayed back to watch Queensland win the Final and were on hand for the closing ceremony and announcement of the Australian team. Three players from our team are to be congratulated on making the Australian Merit team NSWCCC 4 Christian Poutoa (Mt Carmel Catholic High School Varroville), NSWCCC 6 Lachlan Lam (Marcellin College Randwick) and NSWCCC 7 Will Kerr (St Gregory’s College Campbelltown). Lachlan Lam is also to be congratulated on being awarded NSWCCC’s player of the championships.

The whole playing squad are to be thanked and congratulated on their professionalism and outstanding behaviour throughout the championships. They continually proved themselves to be great ambassadors for Catholic schools. The player’s spirit of co-operation in all organisational matters, their high level of professionalism and their friendly and positive attitudes made them a great group to be associated with.

I would also like to personally thank Fady Ghanem, who represented the NSWCCC as an Australian selector in Canberra. He continually provided assistance to both myself and the team on administrative and organisational matters. Without his hard work and assistance, the tour would not have ran as smoothly as it did.

Finally, I would like to acknowledge the dedication and hard work of the coaching staff. Their preparation in the lead up to the championships left no stone unturned. They were extremely professional at all times and gave the team every chance of success. Coach Brian Battese, Assistant Coach Aaron McDonald and Trainer Michael Fisher worked tirelessly both before and during the championships to best prepare the team. Although the results were not what we aimed for, the players will all walk away as better players and most importantly as better people as a result of their coaching, expertise and support.

NSWCCC Selections Report After successful trials at St Marys Leagues Stadium the 2013 NSWCCC 18 Years Rugby League squad was chosen to represent NSWCCC Rugby League at the Australian Championships to be held in Cairns. An initial squad of 22 was agreed upon by the selectors.

Australian Championships Report The eighteen years team would go into the championships as back to back champions and looking for a history breaking three-peat. The squad and its staff were under no illusions as to how difficult the task would be and with this is mind the squad got down to hard work. The first training weekend at Holy Cross College at Ryde involved a training day on the Saturday and a trial against the West Tigers on the Sunday. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Ben Rodgers and the West Tigers for the excellent hit out which allowed the opportunity to test combinations and finalise our final squad and Mr Adam Taylor, Principal of Holy Cross Ryde, for accommodating us for our training weekends. The second weekend of training proved to be valuable in not only in allowing Coach Tim White to fine tune his squad but also most importantly allowing a group of twenty young men the time to come together as a team.

We assembled on the Wednesday before the Championship at Edmond Rice Retreat Centre Mulgoa for a two day camp prior to travelling to Cairns. The training camp allowed Tim and his staff to further develop and refine everything that had been taught in the previous sessions. The camp was not only about training and bonding; It was also an opportunity to educate the team on relevant issues such as social media. We thank the welfare organisations that presented on such relevant topics. We also thank Chad McGill and Mitchell Moses, two former NSWCCC players who presented the jerseys and spoke to the team, emphasising the honour of representing NSWCCC.

After two fantastic days of training at Mulgoa it was then on the bus and of to the airport to fly to Cairns to defend the title. The boys checked into their accommodation and put on their summer gear. Cairns was very warm compared to Mulgoa. Before our first game, the team attended Mass at St Monica’s Cathedral, Cairns with the Bishop and congregation very impressed with the boy’s behaviour and reverence.

The Championships commenced on the Sunday for NSWCCC. We were drawn to play the host of the championships, Queensland. We were slow to get started and through silly penalties Queensland jumped to a 16 point lead. However just before half time we scored and went into the break 16-6 down but with a renewed confidence. We knew that if we could cut out the penalties we could turn it around. After half time we clawed our way back into the game and scored two tries in ten minutes to have the score at 16-14. From the Queensland kick- off we had a great set and got to our kick which had Queensland pinned in a corner 10m from their try line, unfortunately Queensland would kick a 40/20 and score in the next set. Queensland now lead 22-14. Silly options and mistakes crept back into our game once again and another try to Queensland saw them lead 26-14. The boys never gave up and with some sustained pressure NSWCCC scored. However time wasn’t on our side and the

score remained 26-20 to Queensland. Player of the match was NSWCCC #13 Cheyne Whitelaw (Marcellin College, Randwick).

141 NSWCCC Annual Report 2013

With no game for NSWCCC on the Monday it was a great opportunity for a light training session and an opportunity to treat some bumps and bruises in preparation for Tuesday’s game against Combined Affiliated States. The tireless work of Peter Burke our trainer and Steve Velovksi our physiotherapist ensured that all players would be available.

Tuesday saw NSWCCC play Combined Affiliated States in a must win game to ensure a semi-final berth. Again NSWCCC started the game slowly. Silly penalties and errors saw us as our own worst enemy and this was compounded by a serious injury to our fullback Dallin Watene-Zelezniak. A head knock saw Dallin stretchered from the field in the first 10 minutes and off to hospital. The injury would see that Dallin would take no further part in the Championships. As with any team such an injury unsettled the side and NSWCCC would go into half time down 10-0.

Half time was what NSWCCC needed. Coach Time White and Assistant Dane McKay settled their troops and refocused them on the task at hand. The second half saw a complete turnaround in NSWCCC. In playing to Coach White’s instructions NSWCCC dominate the half and turned a 10-0 deficit into a 16-10 victory and a semi-final berth on the Wednesday. Player of the match was NSWCCC # 16 Peter Tiatia (Patrician Brothers College, Blacktown).

Wednesday was semi-final day and NSWCCC were to play NSW Combined High Schools. We knew NSWCHS would be tough opposition as they had won both their pool games by over 50 points but we were confident in our own abilities and believed we could win. The game started off as a very physical encounter with both teams showing how much they wanted a place in the Final. NSWCCC dominated the early exchanges and looked the better team but could not come up with any points to show for it and at half time NSWCHS lead 14-0. The second half was a similar tale to the first. NSWCCC would dominate early however NSWCHS would take their opportunities when presented to them. NSWCHS were too good on the day winning 26-10. Our title defence was over. Player of the match was NSWCCC #10 Soni Hala (Patrician Brothers College, Blacktown).

Thursday was a rest day. It gave NSWCCC the opportunity to treat injuries and the squad to spend some time enjoying the sights of Cairns and Port Douglas. Upon return we had a team meeting and set goals for the final game against ACT. Even though it was not the game we wanted to be playing in we recognised that it was the final opportunity to push for selection in the Australian Schoolboy’s side to play New Zealand in New Zealand in late September and early October.

Friday arrived and also our final game against the ACT. The ACT had been improving over the week so we knew that we had to produce our best to win. Once again we got off to a slow start and the ACT jumped out to an early lead, however by halftime we had clawed our way back into the game and went into the sheds all locked up at 10- 10. A rousing speech by Coach White at half time worked wonders. NSWCCC started to play footy and we began to dominate the ACT. Everything we did was turning to gold and by the time the hooter sounded for fulltime the scoreboard read NSWCCC 50 ACT 16. A convincing win and a great way to end the Championships. With more than half the squad available again next year 2014 is an exciting prospect for NSWCCC. Player of the match was NSWCCC # 11 Tyrell Fuimaono (Patrician Brothers College, Blacktown).

The closing ceremony brought with it the announcement of the Australian Schoolboy’s team to play two tests against New Zealand. NSWCCC had three players selected Dallin Watene-Zelezniak (Patrician Brothers College, Blacktown), Tyrell Fuimaono (Patrician Brothers College, Blacktown) and Cheyne Whitelaw (Marcellin College, Randwick).

Cheyne Whitelaw was also named the Player of the tournament and the NSWCCC most valuable player. We congratulate Cheyne on his fine achievements.

The whole playing squad are to be thanked and congratulated on their professionalism and outstanding behaviour throughout the championships. They continually proved themselves to be great ambassadors for Catholic schools, their families and themselves. The player’s spirit of co-operation in all organisational matters, their high level of professionalism and their friendly and positive attitudes made them a great group to be associated with.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank a number of people who provided wonderful assistance with and on the tour. Nal Wijesekera, James Clancy and Fady Ghanem, continually provided assistance to both myself and the team on administrative and organisational matters. Without their hard work and assistance, the tour would not have run as smoothly as it did. Also a big thankyou to Craig Beacroft and Chris (Chevy) Chavez who, while on holidays in Cairns, give freely of their time to assist the team in any way possible.

Finally, I would like to acknowledge the coaching staff. NSWCCC Coach Tim White is to be congratulated for the outstanding job he did in preparing and coaching the side. Tim’s efforts were first class. Assistant Coach Dane

142 NSWCCC Annual Report 2013

McKay was excellent in his support of Tim and brought his own knowledge and understanding to the game. Trainer Peter Burke’s endless commitment to ensure the boys stayed fit was second to none and with the wonderful help of our Physiotherapist Steve Velvoski the remaining 19 players remained available for the week. The professionalism of the staff is something that I was proud to have been associated with.

NSWCCC RUGBY LEAGUE CUP 2013

The CCC Cup entered its third year with a record number of schools entering the competition from Catholic schools around NSW. This year we had around 60 schools compete at the Gala Day competitions from Northern Country, Southern Country and Sydney Metropolitan areas. The Gala days were held across different venues in NSW and from their three schools from each of areas went into the Round of 16 where they joined the seeded schools. During the Round of 16 the winners progressed through to the CCC Cup and the losers went into the Plate division. From here Round of 8 matches were played around the state and then the semi-finals were played to determine the Grand Finalist for the Plate and Cup.

Throughout the competition depending on the draw many of our city schools were able to travel to venues around NSW which was a great thing for our city students to go to country venues and play other Catholic schools. This has fast become one of the more important aspects of the competition.

The Grand Finals were played at St Marys Stadium and were attended by several of our Life Members; Charlie McGee, John McCabe, Phil Tobin and Santo Passarello. It was wonderful to have these men involved in the presentations after each game.

On behalf of NSW CCC RL we would like to thank all schools, Principals, teachers, students and parents for their support of this great competition. To the NRL, NSWRL, NRL Development, and Doug Keen and the referees, thank you for your help in running this competition throughout the year, without your help this would not be possible.

NSWCCC 15 YEARS RUGBY LEAGUE DEVELOPMENT CAMP

75 Rugby League players from NSWCCC affiliated schools attended a two day, one night training and development camp which focuses on the development of core Rugby League skills. This was a great opportunity for all students who were interested in representing at a higher level to gain valuable information and meet new people. Players received first class training by the current Coach, Trainer and Managers of the NSWCCC teams for 2013. The day started off very apprehensively; however, as the boys got to know each other the day went very smoothly with all boys having a great time.

The boys came from far and wide with schools from as far away as St John’s College, Woodlawn and Mater Dei College, Wagga Wagga well represented, along with many students from MCS, MCC and the Independent schools making up the 75 places on offer.

Added to the experience was the chance to listen to Mr Darren Martin from the NO WAY Foundation who gave a very emotional and spiritual talk on the problems with Drugs and Alcohol in society. This was a high light for many of the boys.

To add to the occasion before we dismissed the boys to go back to school each and every boy received some NRL gear to take home for all the effort and hard work put in other the 2 days. From this camp the coaching staff also gained an insight into the boys with many getting picked for the NSW CCC Under 15’s team that represented at the National Carnival in Canberra later that year.

I must thank Mr Brian Battese, Mr David Cook and Mr Michael Fisher. We were also joined by Melbourne Storm Coach Tony Adam. These men gave up their weekend to help the boys who attended the camp. Also to the current NSWCCC Rugby League Committee who have tried a number of new ideas put forward to make NSW CCC Rugby League competitive on the national stage. The camp was a massive success and one which I’m sure will be heavily supported again in the years ahead.

Mr Tim White NSWCCC Rugby League Vice President

NSWCCC RUGBY LEAGUE – CHRISTIAN BROTHERS SPORTS ASSOCIATION

The CBSA Junior Rugby League competition this year comprised 7 schools, Casimir College Marrickville, De La Salle College Revesby Heights, Holy Spirit College Lakemba, Marist College Penshurst, Rosebank College Five Dock, St Charbel’s College Punchbowl and St Mary’s Cathedral College Sydney.

In the Under 14’s division it was clear that there would be two divisions. St Mary’s, Holy Spirit and Marist were the more dominant schools finishing the competition in 1st, 2nd and 3rd place respectively. They, together with Casimir where the four semi finalists. The semi finals between St Mary’s and Casimir and Holy Spirirt and Marist went as they did during the rounds with St Mary’s just getting over the top of Casimir whilst Holy Spirit comfortably defeated Marist. Unfortunately an outright champion for 2013 could not be determined due to the poor weather in Sydney during the last week of June and subsequently the CBSA champions for 2013 were St Mary’s Cathedral College who were the highest placed of the finalists.

In the Junior Opens division it was a much closer competition but also highlighted teams that were stronger. Like the U14’s it was a competition between Marist, Holy Spirit and St Mary’s who ended the rounds with 4 wins each and St Charbel’s with three wins from their five games. As was expected, the semi finals were close affairs, particularly the Marist - St Charbel’s game which was won by Marist in golden point extra time, reeling in a St Charbel’s team that had the game won only 15 minutes out from the final whistle. The Holy Spirit - St Mary’s encounter although not as close was a reversal of the result during the round where St Mary’s were victorious. It was the perfect finale with team one pitted against team two, however, the rain put an end to the competition. Based on results at the end of the rounds, Marist College Penshurst were declared the CBSA Junior/Opens champions for 2013.

The Senior division this year comprised only three schools De La Salle Revesby Heights, Holy Spirit College Lakemba and St Mary’s Cathedral College. The competition comprised two rounds with the top two teams progressing to the final. Unlike the junior competition, the teams got through all three rounds despite the weather with Holy Spirit the dominant team ending the rounds with 4 wins from their 4 games. De La Salle were their opponents in the final coming through with 2 wins against St Mary’s. With the De La Salle team hitting some late form, the final was much anticipated but the weather intervened and Holy Spirit were crowned CBSA champions for 2013.

It was unfortunate that the competition ended without the grand finals played particularly as the competing teams were the top two finishers in their respective competitions.

I’d like to thank the players and coaching staff from the schools who played the game in a manner and spirit befitting schoolboy rugby league. Further thanks go to Doug Keen, the NSWRL’s Referees Development Officer who together with Rocky Musolino, the Development Officer at St George Illawarra Dragons, provided the referees throughout the season and Graham Carney from Pink First Aid for provision of first aid at both venues. Chris Cafarelli and Reece Bailey (De La Salle Revesby) did a great job managing each of the fields and I thanks them also.

NSWCCC RUGBY LEAGUE – METROPOLITAN CATHOLIC COLLEGES

2013 was another successful season for the Metropolitan Catholic Colleges. Success was highlighted by a number of factors including one MCC school reaching the semi-finals of the CCC Cup and a variety of schools qualifying for the semi-finals in our weekly competition.

MCC Competition With over 110 matches conducted during Term 2 the MCC competition was once again conducted within the true spirit of schoolboy Rugby League. Whilst not being incident free, all issues were settled quickly between schools, epitomizing the spirit of co-operation that exists between all schools. Thankfully there were minimal disruptions due to poor weather, with only one round missed, meaning the semi-final teams were the true contenders for each competition.

Six of the seven MCC schools were represented in the semi-finals however most divisions were dominated by Marcellin College Randwick, Christian Brothers Lewisham, Marist College Kogarah or Marist College Pagewood. Grand Final day this year was split between 2 venues, Bexley Oval (U/13’s) and Leichhardt Oval (U/14’s – A Grade).

Below are the 2013 premiers. Two matches went into extra time (U/13 Div. 2 and U/15), and Randwick dominated the A and B grade winning each division convincingly.

Under 13 Div. 2 Marist College Pagewood Under 13 Div.1 Marist College Pagewood Under 14 Marcellin College Randwick Under 15 Marcellin College Randwick B Grade Marcellin College Randwick A Grade Marcellin College Randwick

2014 promises to be an exciting one for the MCC with Holy Cross Ryde joining the competition.

CCC Cup La Salle Catholic College Bankstown, Christian Brothers Lewisham, Marist College Pagewood, Marist College Kogarah and Marcellin College Randwick each supported the third year of CCC Cup. Kogarah and Randwick progressed past the Gala Day in Term 2. Kogarah were defeated by St. Paul’s Greystanes in the Round of 16, whilst Randwick defeated Kildare College Wagga Wagga as a result of a forfeit to progress to the quarter-finals. Kogarah moved to the Plate side of the draw. They progressed to the semi-finals after Kildare withdrew. They defeated Mt. Carmel Varroville in the semi-final of that part of the draw and played St. John’s Woodlawn in the Plate final Randwick defeated Greystanes and then played Patrician Brothers Blacktown. Having Randwick in the latter stages of this competition for the second year in succession was a significant achievement for the association.

NSWCCC Selection Trials & Australian Championships The trials were once again successful for the association with U/18’s team winning one and losing one of their matches on Friday progressing to play against the President’s team on Saturday. The U/15 team didn’t enjoy the same success losing both matches on Friday, they played MCS on Saturday and suffered a heavy defeat.

The following players were selected in the NSWCCC teams Cheyne Whitelaw, Topiese Taufa and Delayne Ashby in the U/18’s team, and Lachlan Lam and Kobi Hookey selected in the U/15’s team. At the U/15 Australian Championships in Canberra Lachlan Lam achieved the honour of being selected in the Australian Merit team. Whilst Cheyne Whitelaw was selected in the Australian Schoolboys, the first MCC representative at that level since 2007.

Finally I would like thank each of the Principals and Sports Co-ordinators, coaches and players of the MCC schools, as well as Peter Buxton (MCC Secretary). Without their assistance and input the competition would not run as smoothly as it does. Also, thank you to Doug Keen and his team of referees who were available each week.

NSWCCC RUGBY LEAGUE – METROPOLITAN CATHOLIC SCHOOLS

2013 was another successful year for MCS, with over 80 teams participating in the two competitions held. The successful Weight and Age competition was once again held at the end of Term One, with all MCS schools entering teams. Held over four weeks, the competition allowed for maximum participation and catered for those students who may miss out on their schools traditional league teams.

Our term two competition was once again a success, with over 70 teams entering across nine age divisions. Delaney College, Granville also participated once again in the 13 & 14 years age group as an invited school.

For the first time in many years the senior competition involved all schools. Utilising a points system and divided across three pools, the competition was split for the finals, seeing teams divided into a Tier A and Tier B format. St Gregory’s College, Campbelltown finished champions for 2013, winning a closely fought grand final against Patrician Brothers Blacktown.

This all inclusive two pool competition proved successful once again in the 13, 14 and 15 years age groups. Delany College fielded teams in the 14B and the 13B divisions. Several colleges also fielded multiple teams in age groups of the junior competitions.

Our grand final day was held at two central venues, Parramatta Stadium for our 1st Division finals, and New Era Stadium, Cabramatta, for the 2nd Division. The 3rd division finals were held at school venues. A successful day was had, with strong crowd support at all grounds. Details of each of the competitions and their winners are listed below.

On the representative front our MCS selections were held over several weeks for both the 15’s and 18’s. With the assistance of the NRL and Western Sydney NSWRL Academy strong sides were selected in both age groups. At the NSWCCC selection trials the 15’s side had mixed results, going down in some closely fought matches before getting a comprehensive win in their last game. The 18’s team came away with 2 wins from their 3 games. From this tournament 8 players were selected for the 15’s CCC squad and 9 players for the 18’s NSWCCC squads. Several MCS players also competed at the NSWCCC selection trials as part of the President’s teams. At the Australian Championships two MCS players were selected for the Australian 15’s Merit side whilst in the 18’s two players were selected for the Australian Schoolboys side. Congratulations to all these players.

On behalf of the MCS Rugby League association we would like to thank the following people and organisations who make it possible for us to continue providing opportunities for our students to participate in rugby league programs;  Mr Doug Keen and the NSWRL Referees Association for the provision of referees.  The staff of the Western Sydney NSWRL Academy for their continued support of the MCS Association.  The staff of the Parramatta NRL Game Development Unit for their continued support of the MCS Association, in particular the weight and age competitions.  The staff at St Dominic’s College for hosting MCS trial games and representative training.  Mr Michael Basan and the Parramatta Eels staff for their support of the MCS Grand Finals and weight and age competition.  The staff of Parramatta Stadium for their support of the MCS Grand Finals.  Cabramatta Leagues Club and ground staff of New Era Stadium for their support of the MCS Grand Finals.  Mr Ben Tickle (St Pauls College) for his management of the MCS Grand Finals at New Era Stadium.  Mr Marc Romano (St Pauls College) for his management of the MCS Grand Finals at Parramatta Stadium  Mr Tim Spain (St Dominics College) for his continued support throughout the transition of Rugby League Convenors.  All the MCS Sports Coordinators and staff of all Colleges for their continued support of the Rugby League competition.

NSWCCC RUGBY LEAGUE – NORTHERN COUNTRY

In 2013 we had a lot of success. The Northern Country Under 15’s and Under 18’s were extremely successful in their attempts at the NSWCCC State trials, not losing a game. This year we were the only Association to go through the State Trials undefeated. This was a result of some our quality selectors at our Northern Trials selecting the teams and a very supportive coaching staff and parents.

2013 Northern Country Rugby League Trials The trials were conducted in April, with players from the Armidale, Lismore and Maitland/Newcastle Dioceses competing. The trials were held at Smithtown, a small township just on the out skids of Kempsey on the Mid North Coast. A big thank you to Leon Robinson and the staff of St Paul’s Kempsey, for the use of the school grounds for training and the assistance in setting up and hosting the trials. The assistance was much appreciated. Special thanks must also go to NRL development staff for the role in providing touch judges and refereeing. Appreciation must also be conveyed to the CEO’s of the three Dioceses for releasing staff for the Rugby League trials, and to the Sports Convenors for their support. I would like to recognise the contributions of the Diocesan Rugby League Convenors; Brian Battese (Lismore), Scott Asimus (Maitland/Newcastle) and David Koch (Armidale).

2013 NSWCCC Rugby League Trials The Northern Country teams had great success at the State Trails at St Marys. The Under 15’s won all matches against Southern Country, Metropolitan Catholic Schools and Sydney Independents. There were four Northern players rewarded with selection to play in the Australian Championships in the ACT; Brodie Jones, Kalemb Hart, Jai Whitbread and the late inclusion of Kurtis Dark. The Under 18’s won all matches as well against Southern Country, Metropolitan Catholic Schools and MCS. The last game against MCS was a cracker. One of the most courageous games I have seen by a Northern team. Anthony Coleman was rewarded with selection to play in the Australian Championships in Cairns. Thanks must be conveyed to the coaching staff of the Northern teams for their time and expertise; Bradley Melville, Colin Love and Leon Robinson (Under 18’s); David Koch, Mark Honeysett and Nathan Koen (Under 15’s).

Country Tours This year there was a country tour for the Under 15’s, the first tour since the 2010 Under 18’s went to Perth. The tour was held in Sydney and the Country side won two of their three games. There were a large number of Northern players in the team this year. These players were Nick Lawrence, Jordy Mitchell, Tom Burgess, Harry Fitzhugh, Kyle Cusack, Sam McIntyre, Mitch Wilbow, Tyler Johnson, Sam Ross, Jacob Gregg, Jake Buckley, Bailey Veitch, Corey Alexander and Jarrod Balcomb. Thank you to Peter Hunt from Southern Country, who organised the country tour and David Koch, Daniel Iacono and I who were the officials on tour. These tours would not have happen if these teachers did not put up their hands to organise these things!

NSWCCC RUGBY LEAGUE – SYDNEY INDEPENDENT CATHOLIC COLLEGES

I would like to acknowledge all involved with Sydney Independent Catholic Colleges Rugby League. Almost all schools participated in the SICC trials, 16 schools were represented in the 15 and 18 years teams. This participation rate was made possible by the hard work done by all SICC staff and teachers in each school. Once again the SICC trials ran smoothly thanks to the many people involved. The Trials were well attended by parents and is becoming a prestigious event. All associations were well prepared and students played outstanding rugby league.

The aim of all students attending the SICC trials is to progress through to the NSWCCC trials. However for most students participating in the SICC trials is an achievement. The 15 years continue their healthy competition and once again only a narrow margin separated the teams, with CBSA being declared winners for 2013.

We try to limit game time for the 18 years as a number of students already play a lot of rugby league. However competition for places in the SICC team was intense and a competitive team was chosen.

As usual the NSWCCC trials were a very enjoyable experience for students and staff. The 15 years team played very well only loosing one game narrowly. Unfortunately this fine performance was not rewarded by selections in the NSWCCC Team. Only one student Tom Starling from St Edward’s College Gosford was selected.

The 18 years team played with great gusto and were rewarded more commensurately with 3 students selected in the NSWCCC Team. Jacob Saifiti (St Edwards College), Jacob Host (De la Salle College Revesby) and Jaleel Seve-Derbas (Freeman Catholic College Bonnyrigg) were selected.

I would also like to thank all the SICC staff for all their help. John McKnight (McCarthy Catholic College), Chris Chavez (St Agnes Catholic High), Dane McKay (St Paul’s College), Michael Whitton and Kyle Churchill (Clare Catholic High), Chris Anschau (Parramatta CEO), Duncan Black and Ryan Drew (McKillop Catholic College). It should be noted that that the commitment made by the SICC staff, indeed all teachers involved with NSW CCC rugby league, should never be underestimated. I certainly don’t and I do appreciate their passion for rugby league and most importantly the care and goodwill towards our students.

Mr David Credaro SICC Convenor

NSWCCC RUGBY LEAGUE – SOUTHERN COUNTRY

The number of players attending trials in 2013 increased from previous years. This provided selectors and coaches with the tough task of selecting both the Southern Country fifteens and eighteens. Both teams were competitive at the NSWCCC Trials and again provided a pathway for students from all five Dioceses (Wagga, Bathurst, Forbes/Wilcannia, Canberra/Goulburn and Wollongong) to gain selection in the NSWCCC teams. Thanks to the Diocesan Sports Convenors John Sparks, Anthony Hood, Linda Densmore and Kerrie Johnston and the parents for their continued support of Rugby League in Catholic Schools.

Western Region Trials Western Region trials were again held at Red Bend Catholic College, Forbes on the 10th April. Both age groups fifteens and eighteens selected strong teams to travel to the Southern Country trial in Wagga in May. Thanks to the following for their help and assistance on the day. Mr John Hogan (Canberra Goulburn) for overseeing the Eighteens Trial, his experience is appreciated and valued by all. To the NRL and CRL staff who refereed and selected (Wade Judd, Mick Armstrong, Daniel Swan and Dennis Moran) and St George Illawarra (Brian Keegan) thanks for your continued support for schoolboy Rugby League. Also the school staff, Mr Tony O’Connell, Mr Pat Rudd and Mr Tod Healey (Red Bend Catholic College), Mr Bob Wykamp (James Sheahan Orange), Mr Andy Haycock (St Johns Dubbo) and Mr Geoff McNamara (Kildare College Wagga) thanks again to you and your school for assistance.

Southern Country Trials These trials were held in Wagga. Both age divisions were good games and the selectors on the day had a very difficult time selecting the 20 young men that would go on to represent Southern Country at the State Trials. Thanks to NRL representatives from Newcastle, St George Illawarra, Panthers and West Tigers for their help with selections. These trials would not have been so successful if it wasn’t for the hard work and organisation Mr Anthony Hood (Wagga Wagga Diocesan Sports). Having such a wonderful venue and support of the local junior league along with the Country Rugby League and local referees association, makes this an easier choice for future trials.

NSWCCC State Trials Southern Country had improved results at the trials this year and credit must go to the coaching staff of the Southern Country Teams, Daniel Iacono (Corpus Christi Catholic High, Oak Flats) Peter Hunt (Kildare Catholic College, Wagga), Kevin Harpley (Mt Carmel Catholic High, Varroville), John Hogan (Canberra / Goulburn Dio), Bill Barry (St John the Evangelist, Nowra) and Geoff McNamara (Kildare Catholic College, Wagga). A full list of players selected in NSWCCC Teams and the Country Catholic Schools Fifteens appear in other sections of the Annual Report.

Country Fifteens Tour Thanks to Peter Hunt for all his hard work and organisation in getting the Country Catholic Schools tour back on the map. His work in gaining approval and organising accommodation, games, transport and uniforms was outstanding and provided the basis for a very successful experience for 20 country students. He was assisted on the tour by fellow staff members Scott Asimus, David Koch and Daniel Iacono, who were generous in giving up a week of their holidays to expand the opportunities to the selected players. While results, winning 2 from 3 games can be measured, the benefits to the players can never be fully understood. Please take the chance to read the full Tour report.

NSWCCC RUGBY LEAGUE – 15 YEARS COUNTRY DEVELOPMENT TOUR

2013 saw the successful return of the NSW Country Catholic Schools Rugby League Tour to Sydney for the 15 years players. The 15 Years NSW CCSRL was made up of representatives from both the Northern and Southern Country teams that trialled at the NSW CCC State Selection Trials in May earlier in the year.

The Country tour was held from Sunday 30th June – Friday 5th July and the boys enjoyed the accommodation and hospitality whilst staying at St Gregory’s College, Campbelltown. It was a very busy week for the country boys as they were treated to all of the experiences and behind the scenes look at what it takes to be a player within the NRL. Special thanks to the Sydney Roosters, West Tigers and also the Penrith Panthers NRL clubs as they allowed our boys to look through all of their facilities and enjoy the training sessions and NRL matches whilst also gaining important and insightful guidance from all of the head coaching staff, senior NRL players and also Mr Phil ‘Gus’ Gould himself.

The main focus for the week for the NSW CCSRL squad was also their matches to be played against the highly respected West Tigers, Canterbury Bulldogs and Penrith Panthers development squads. With the guidance from the coaching staff; Scott Asimus, Daniel Iacono and David Koch the NSW CCSRL boys started the week on a good note by defeating the West Tigers by 16 - 6. Unfortunately the Country boys were defeated in our second match by the Canterbury Bulldogs 24-10. Our third and final match was a highlight of the week as our boys displayed some of their best skills and toughness of the week as they defeated the Penrith Panthers by 40- 4. Each one of the NSWCCSRL squad had equal match time and the opportunity to be one of the starting 13 throughout the 3 matches. It was pleasing to witness the growth and development of all players’ skills and confidence as the week progressed.

The ‘Player of the Match’ awards were given to Matthew Woolnough (Match 1), Nick Lawrence (Match 2) and Harry Fitzhugh (Match 3). Harry Fitzhugh was also awarded the Player’s Player honour for the tour.

This NSWCCS RL development tour was an enjoyable and beneficial experience which undoubtedly will pave the way in inspiring some of our country schools rugby league talent to pursue and one day achieve their goal as a successful player in the NRL.

Special thanks to the NSWCCC Executive, the NSW CCCRL Executive and particularly Mark Falkenmire (Northern Country) and Steve Hooper (Southern Country) for all of their support and for providing the opportunities and the development of our country catholic rugby league students.

EVALUATION

The 2013 15 years NSW CCSRL Development Tour to Sydney was extremely successful for the following reasons; - The development of young country rugby league players. - The promotion of NSWCCC Rugby League and the NSW CCSRL. - Establishment of very positive working relationships between NSWCCC/ NSW CCS and the NRL. Particularly the following clubs, Penrith, Roosters, Parramatta, Canterbury, West Tigers, Dragons, Newcastle, and Manly. All of these clubs assisted with the 2013 programs offering games/ visits/ introductions to key players and aspects of the life and routines/ expectations of the NRL player/ official. Most importantly all of these clubs plus others expressed an interest to be part of the ongoing NSW CCSRL programs and development for the future.

Throughout the week the 15yrs NSWCCSRL side were very successful in their 3 matches. They defeated West Tigers on the Monday and Penrith on the Thursday, and narrowly went down to the Canterbury squads on the Tuesday.

All of the NSWCCSRL squad had equal match time and the opportunity to be one of the starting 13 throughout the 3 matches. It was pleasing to also witness to continual improvement of all players’ skills and confidence as the week progressed.

Accommodation St Gregory’s College, Campbelltown was the perfect location for our accommodation. With the help of John Vardy, Max Spencer and all of the staff at the College the NSW CCSRL were treated to first class facilities.

166 NSWCCC Annual Report 2013

The accommodation was clean, comfortable and a perfect space for developing the team cohesion. The meals at the College were beautiful. Great food provided by yet again great staff who were very flexible with meal times (to suit our schedules), as well as very experienced in catering for boys appetites. All lunches were also packed to take away for the days that we would be off College premises.

The facilities at the College were also first class. All facilities were offered to NSW CCSRL for the duration of the week. Pool sessions/ indoor training facilities/ plenty of football fields for trainings and matches. St Gregory’s College is a secure facility and also far from nightly distractions, therefore was considered the Perfect venue.

Thanks again to John Vardy for coordinating our stay and providing a very comfortable experience.

Uniform and Gear The NSWCCC uniform certainly looked impressive when the NSWCCSRL squad was out together. It was good quality clothing.

The Country playing uniform looked impressive. I would support Steve Hooper’s suggestion in maintaining this design for future country fixtures to establish a tradition. The sizing and quality of the country clothing was excellent.

I would certainly support parent’s wishes in providing ‘MORE’ Country gear. I.e. the boys only had 1 team shirt for the week. This would need to be addressed for the future. Certainly a balance between CCC and Country Catholic Schools in gear for the future.

Certainly I must mention that the CCC Hoodie etc looked professional and was very effective in promoting NSW Catholic schooling wherever we went.

Staffing Having 4 staff for a camp of this length is a MUST! The staff were energetic, qualified, organised and very supportive of all the programs and needs of the students. It would be my belief that a tour/camp of this nature would not be adequately managed with less than 4 staff. Particularly given the roles of which each are qualified eg Tour Manager/ Coach / Trainer/ Assistant Coach.

Ensuring that the balance between Sth and Nth Country ie 2 from each is also important. This will be for the convenors to manage for future years.

Itinerary The week provided a balance of 3 matches as well as visits and programs not only designed to provide enjoyment and insight into the NRL, but also designed to provide lifelong experiences for the country students. 3 matches throughout the week is a good number of matches. It also allows for sufficient recovery time for the players.

The NRL clubs involved within the programs were very generous in offering their time/ facilities/programs and experience. It is pleasing to see they are all willing to be part of the future programs. Thanks must also be given to Kildare Catholic College, Wagga Wagga for allowing the use of the College bus for transport during the week’s programs.

Overall the 2013 development tour was a successful and very enjoyable program. This should continue to run in the future as it offers such a wide array of life altering experiences for our NSW country catholic schools students. The students that went away this year were a fantastic group of young men. They conducted themselves admirably and consistently lived up to the high standards that were established at the beginning of the week.

They were often complimented by others for their behaviour and the manner in which they represented themselves NSWCCC and NSWCCSRL. The students were a credit to themselves and their families in their conduct throughout the tour programs and also for their toughness and talent they displayed throughout the matches. Many families travelled to Sydney and attended the games.

The families were supportive of all the aspects of the tour ie costings/ information and the positive use of the NSW CCSRL Facebook page (The Facebook page was set up in a way to provide info only and not allow for students to offer posts without the approval of the site manager) which allowed for effective communication prior to the tour as well as updated info throughout the tour. Keeping families informed.

Overall this was an extremely beneficial program.

NSWCCC Selections Report The 2013 rugby season has proved to be another excellent year in the development of the NSWCCC Rugby Union. In 2013 NSWCCC conducted one of the largest secondary schoolboy rugby selection carnivals in NSW and the initiative of our Diocese and Association coaches to support our selection carnival is most commendable. Congratulations to all teams who participated with enthusiasm and demonstrated a great quality of Rugby in their respective divisions.

This year’s carnival was held at St Gregory’s College, Campbelltown. The College has been very accommodating in providing a number of fields on which 30 games of Rugby were played across the two days of the carnival. I would like to thank the College for their support of CCC Rugby in 2013.

The NSWCCC U16's & U18’s teams selected at Campbelltown produced sound performances against quality opposition at the NSWSRU Championships. They are to be commended for the way in which they played in each of their games across the Championships.

This annual report contains a full record of the 2013 season and as convenor I would like to specifically thank the Executive of the NSWCCC Sports Association, NSWCCC Executive Officer Kym Skerritt for her ongoing support of NSWCCC Rugby. I would also like to thank the dedicated coaching staff of NSWCCC teams; Steve Mitchell, & Nic Lah (NSWCCC U18’s), Shaun Killian & Ryan Drew (NSWCCC U16’s) and the General committee of the NSW Schools Rugby Union for their generous support of NSWCCC Rugby Union in 2013.

I would also like to acknowledge the support of Medics Australia and NSW Referees Association and the ARU Development Team for their invaluable contribution to the day.

NSW All Schools Report The NSWCCC squad consisted of 22 talented Rugby players from all over NSW. Like most original squads there had to be a couple of minor changes due to injury and other commitments, however the players and coaches were excited by the challenge of playing against some tough competition and the players trialling for a jersey in the NSW All Schools Team. The coaching staff consisted of Shaun Killian who was appointed Head Coach and Ryan Drew who was Assistant Coach/Manager.

The squad gathered at the Narrabeen Sports Academy for a three-day camp and bonded immediately, which would later be a telling point as their mateship was evident when times got tough in various matches. During the camp, players were put through a variety of specialist skills sessions and worked on our game plan which was to be used throughout the championships. After two days of training the players got to put their efforts on show and were rewarded with two wins from two games against AICES 17-7 and also Country 43-0.

170 NSWCCC Annual Report 2013

The under 16s Rugby Championships were again held at Knox Grammar school on 22nd and 23rd June. Round 1 of the Championships saw NSWCCC face off against committed CAS outfit that controlled possession and went on to win the game12-0. In Round 2, NSWCCC played a classy CHS who threw everything at each other in a close game before CHS eventually scored a couple of late tries and went on to win the game 19-7. As a result of our two losses on the previous day, NSWCCC played Country in the Cup Final in which NSWCCC won the game 15-12. There were a few tired and sore bodies from the previous day, but the Country side had improved significantly from the previous week in a game were both teams played entertaining Rugby in some very ordinary weather conditions. All of the players are commended for their efforts both on and off the field. They were a fantastic group of young men who represented NSWCCC to a high standard and will no doubt go on to play a lot of high level Rugby. A special mention to both Liam Baker and Maxwell Stewart who were selected from the Championships because of their outstanding efforts to represent the NSW Country Junior Rugby Union Team.

NSW All Schools Report The 2013 season again saw the rugby team perform admirably with games against CHS 1, ISA 11 and GPS 111. Unfortunately our first game against CHS was played before we had our camp and we had only one training session the day before to prepare. On a very wet Sunday, where most sport in Sydney was cancelled, we played CHS at Forshaw Park. Although the scoreline was lopsided, the team performed very well and dominated CHS for the first quarter of the game and had we scored during this time, it would have given us the impetus to go with it. CHS however, held on to record a convincing victory, but, in those first twenty minutes, we had done enough to spark the interest of the selectors.

Our second game against ISA followed our camp at Narrabeen (which again is a highlight of the whole program) and this showed in the first half with us leading by 24-3 at oranges. ISA came back at us in the second half and

173 NSWCCC Annual Report 2013

actually hit the front with 5 minutes remaining. To our credit, we didn’t give up and actually scored on the hooter to share the points. Again, our first half had given the selectors some food for thought.

The third game against a very strong GPS team (this year they were extremely strong, winning all games and dominating the NSW team selections) saw us behind early, hit back in the middle of the game before we eventually went down 45 -22.Two of the players gained selection as reserves for the NSW seconds team, Francis Brown from MacKillop College Warnervale and Elliot Jennings from All Saints College Maitland. Considering CHS only had four players selected in both teams, this was a good result for NSWCCC.

There is no doubt that the NSWCCC rugby program is a great experience for the players, especially those coming from the country and we continue to perform at a level that allows them to show off their talents. One area we need to improve on is getting more teachers involved at all levels of the game, especially with participation at a NSW level as either coaches, managers or selectors. It has again been a pleasure to coach NSWCCC rugby, but I believe it is time for others to get involved so we can spread the workload which will ultimately, help our players get noticed at a state level.

NSWCCC Selections Report In a break from tradition, the Boys’ CCC Trials took place separately from the girls this year. Held at Blacktown Olympic Park on August 14, four teams participated; Lismore, MCS, Parramatta, and a Convener’s Team (made up of players from Broken Bay, South Sydney and Wollongong).

Conditions were wonderful, with the sun shining brightly all day. The usual format occurred, with each team playing one another twice. For the record, Lismore managed not only to win all six games, but also to break the stranglehold that the Convener’s Team had maintained over recent years.

It is also pleasing to note that two student umpires officiated on the day, Brianne Watt and Joshua King, both from the Parramatta Diocese. Encouragement of student officials has been a priority in recent years, and they are always welcome to nominate for future tournaments.

Yet again it is very pleasing to be able to comment on the wonderful spirit in which the games were played. The way in which players show respect for their opponents, for umpires and for tournament officials is a tribute to them and the schools and families from which they come.

Thanks to Cathy Kerr and the staff at Softball NSW for the provision of such a wonderful venue at which to hold our trials; to Leanne Gearside and her team of umpires; to Kym Skerritt for her continued support and involvement; to Andrew Kenneally (Corpus Christi Catholic High School, Oak Flats) and former CCC player (also current Vice- Captain of the Australian U/19 Team) Tayla Tsitsikronis, for assisting with selections; and Daniel Salaby (Corpus Christi Catholic High School Oak Flats) for managing the Convener’s Team; and to all those teachers and parents for their contributions on the day in their team management roles.

Finally, thanks to the students themselves, whose spirit of co-operation, mingled with the right balance of fun and competition, made the day productive, rewarding and satisfying.

Invitational Boys Softball Championships Report In a long-awaited departure from the recent norm, the 2013 Invitational Boys’ Softball Championship was a two day tri-series between NSWCCC, NSWCHS and Queensland All Schools held on September 12 and 13, at Blacktown International Sports Park.

This was by far the youngest squad in recent memory to represent NSWCCC with two students from Year 12, two from Year 11, three from Year 10 and five from Year 9. Geographically, the bulk of the side was from metropolitan Sydney, with three players from regional New South Wales.

Four preliminary matches were played over the Thursday and into Friday morning. Suffice it to say that these contests were very much steep learning curves for our youngsters. The two matches against the combined strength of both Queensland sectors resulted in losses, both by a margin of five runs.

Against the might of NSWCHS it was something of a different story, however. The result of the first game was eminently forgettable. Despite this, the boys are to be congratulated for the way they stuck to their guns and did all they could to salvage whatever insights they could take from what was a very one-sided scoreline. The fact that the margin was more than halved in our second outing against CHS gave cause for some hope in the future.

It would be fairly safe to say that the 2 vs 3 play-off was regarded by most as a mere formality, given that the Queenslanders had comfortably accounted for us in both preliminary matches. No-one, however, mentioned this to 176 NSWCCC Annual Report 2013

the NSWCCC boys! Just prior to the game, amongst a number of things, they were told that NSWCCC could just as easily stand for Courage, Commitment and Character. And that’s just what they displayed. In a remarkable turn- around, and with improved (sometimes flawless) performances with bat, ball and glove, the boys fought out a much awaited win to earn a spot in the final.

Unfortunately, despite continuing to give of their best, they had to settle for second place against a much bigger, older, more powerful opposition that boasted eight state players and three Australian reps amongst their ranks.

On behalf of the team, coach Andrew Kenneally and NSWCCC itself, thanks must go to the parents for their obvious support, the hard-working umpires, the staff at Softball NSW and, Mr Peter Zegiel (CHS Softball Convener) for his organisation of the event. We’d also like to thank Will Riley’s mother, Melinda, for her ongoing contribution as team scorer…a job that can become quite crucial at times.

Given the youth of our side, things augur well for the future as most of our playing roster should be able to take much from this experience into next year and beyond.

NSWCCC Selections Report In a break from tradition, the girls’ CCC Trials took place separately from the boys. Held at Blacktown Olympic Park on February 20, five teams participated; Broken Bay, Parramatta, SCC, and two Conveners’ Teams (Black and White). Individuals making up these two teams came from all over Sydney, and as far away as Wollongong to the south, Orange to the west and Lismore to the north.

Conditions were quite favourable, despite some doubtful weather forecasts and the occasional sprinkle of rain. The usual format occurred, with each team having four games and a bye, followed by a pitching/batting/fielding hit-out in the Possibles/Probables time-slot.

For the record, Parramatta won the “tournament”, remaining undefeated in their four rounds. It is also pleasing to note that student umpire, Elizabeth Leipa, from Broken Bay, officiated for the third year in a row, with every intention of continuing on the pathway to All Schools and School Sport Australia.

It is almost becoming a cliché, but it is very pleasing to be able to comment on the wonderful spirit in which the games were played. The way in which players show respect for their opponents, for umpires and for tournament officials is a tribute to them and the schools and families from which they come.

Thanks to Cathy Kerr and the staff at Softball NSW for the provision of such a wonderful venue at which to hold our trials; even though she wasn’t there on the day, to Leanne Gearside, for her co-ordination of the umpires; to Kym Skerritt for her continued support and involvement; to Carol Deegan (Cerdon College, Merrylands), former NSWCCC player, Ksenya Gatti, and Jessica Rooke (Monte Sant’ Angelo) for assisting with selections; to another former player, Saskia Gatti, and Liz Morgan (Monte Sant’ Angelo) for managing the Conveners’ Teams; and to all those teachers and parents for their contributions on the day in their team management roles.

Finally, thanks to the students themselves, whose spirit of co-operation, mingled with the right balance of fun and competition, made the day both rewarding and satisfying.

NSW All Schools Report The 2013 NSW All Schools Girls Softball Trials were held on Tuesday, March 12, at Blacktown Olympic Park.

The NSWCCC side was a relatively young one, with only four players having represented before. The team finished equal third, with a win in the last of their three games against Combined Independent Schools. The first was a close affair against Combined High Schools (Blue), with just a single run in it, while the other involved a significant margin against Combined High Schools (Red). Four players made it to the Possibles/Probables and two of these progressed to the next level of selection.

Congratulations to Amelia Cudicio (Brigidine College, St Ives) and Emma Iuliano (Santa Sabina College, Strathfield), who will play for NSW All Schools in Perth in May. The fact that Amelia is already a member of the Under 19 Australian Women’s team, and Emma is in the Under 17 Australian squad, speaks wonders for the talent that they brought to the diamond. It also says something about how high the standard of competition is at these selections.

Congratulations, too, to Elizabeth Liepa (Mt St Benedict College, Pennant Hills) who was ranked first out of the four student umpires in attendance. Liz will also travel to Perth where she will officiate at this level for the second year running.

Yet again, our athletes are to be praised for their attitude and conduct. From the moment they all gathered for training the day before, to the very last play of the day, they represented their schools and families in a very positive manner. I’m sure I speak for all involved when I say that it is a matter of pride and a source of satisfaction to be associated with them.

Thanks to a number of people firstly, to Kym Skerritt and her staff for their tireless efforts and support; to coach Carol Deegan (Cerdon College, Merrylands) and manager Chris Anschau (Parramatta CEO) for their efforts with team management, the latter at quite short notice; once again to Peter Zegiel (CHS) for his efficient and effective co-ordination of the day and to the parents and supporters, whose efforts on behalf of their children are obvious.

NSWCCC Selections Report The 2013 NSWCCC Tennis selections proved to be successful with the move to a new venue at North Parramatta. Players from across all NSW entered this year, with entries exceeding previous numbers in the past. I really appreciate the efforts of Dio reps and Sports Coordinators for promoting Tennis and encouraging players to participate in this tournament, each year our team is getting stronger.

Once again the level of play proved to be exceptional with some outstanding tennis demonstrated throughout the day. I would like to congratulate all players involved. I would also like to thank tennis officials Chris Anshau and Trudi Muirhead whose efforts and efficiency proved to be beneficial throughout the carnival.

Congratulations to the following players who have been selected into the NSWCCC Team who will compete at NSW All Schools in Bathurst on the 26th and 27th March.

Students selected in NSW All Schools Team Matthew George All Saints College, St Mary's Campus Maitland Ashleigh Maree Elward McAuley Catholic College Grafton

NSW All Schools Carnival Report The lead up to this carnival was a little rocky this year with a date change to the event causing changes into the NSWCCC team. Unfortunately we lost Brooke Winley and Rebecca O’Farrell to the Under 14’s Nationals titles in QLD, we lost Taylah Beckman who was offered a Tennis Scholarship in the USA and we lost Tom Johnston to injury in the lead up of the tournament. We welcomed into the team Breahna Bessatt, Zoe Martin, Jacinta Milenkoski and Tyrone Simbul.

The competition at the NSW All Schools was tough. However, our NSWCCC players pushed most matches out to tie breaks. After the first round we lost 11 of the 16 players, some of which were very unlucky to miss out. The afternoon round (the deciding round to determine the NSW team) was fierce and competitive. Unfortunately Sharyn Stanich and Alex Bryant were knocked out during this round. Pearse Dolan had a tough pool but had a 3 way tie with two other boys in his pool. It went on a count back and unfortunately Pearse missed out on for and against. We were fortunate enough in Ashleigh Elward and Matthew George to be successful in their matches and progress through to the NSW teams. Both players had an exceptional tournament and should be very proud of their achievements.

Pizzey Cup Report This year I had the pleasure of travelling with the NSW All Schools team as a team manager to Adelaide to compete at the Pizzey Cup. The NSW team of 16 players, comprised of two NSWCCC players, Matthew George and Ashleigh Elward

The championships consist of two events, a team’s event played each morning which is called the Pizzey Cup and an individual championship called the Australian Cup played in the afternoon. Both events are under 18's. The NSW team consisted on 8 boys and 8 girls from across all three sectors (CIS, CHS, CCC).

199 NSWCCC Annual Report 2013

In the Pizzey cup, NSW played each state across the 7 days. Matthew and Ashleigh played a variety of singles and mixed doubles matches. Matthew and Ashleigh proved to be a winning mixed doubles combination pairing.

The results of NSW in the Pizzey cup were as follows NSW defeat WA 17 matches to 1 NSW defeat TAS 18 matches to 0 NSW defeat ACT 18 matches to 0 NSW defeat SA 14 matches to 4 NSW defeat VIC 12 matches to 6 NSW defeat QLD 14 matches to 4.

As you can see by these results, NSW remained undefeated and won the Pizzey cup. Matthew and Ashleigh along with the other 14 members received a medallion for their efforts.

In the afternoon competition, the individual singles event, Matthew proved how talented he was with his outstanding achievement. Matthew won his first match on the Sunday. On the Monday, he pulled the 2nd seeded player in the draw (the number 1 from VIC). Unfortunately Matt lost this match 6-3, 7-6. He gave his opponent a run for his money and never gave up. This meant Matthew was placed in the consolation event, (an event where players continue once they are knocked out of the main draw). Matthew played his next 6 matches against some very talented players across the country. I knew after watching Matt's performance on the Monday match that he would win the consolation round, and my gut feeling was correct. He continued to knock out each player from the consolation round, including players from NSW, to make his way to the grand final. Matt was exceptional against his opponent from South Australia and at 5 - 3 down, Matt came back to win 8 games to 5 (this is called a super set).

Ashleigh also played well, unfortunately losing her first match in the main draw and first math in the consolation draw to be knocked out of the singles competition.

I want to wish Matthew and Ashleigh well as they finish their year 12 schooling this year. Both players were exceptional representatives for NSWCCC over the past 4 years for Matthew and past two for Ashleigh. Best of luck for your future endeavors in tennis.

TENNIS TEAMS CHAMPIONSHIPS 2013 - ANNUAL REPORT

NSWCCC Teams Tennis Report The 2013 Teams Tennis event once again generated plenty of teams and plenty of talent. The morning, starting off at minus 2 proved a little cold for tennis, however this did not hinder the spirits of the competing teams. Their was a big number this year with 10 boys and 9 girls teams entered. The matches played were quite long, indicating the depth of talent across the board with many matches going to deuce and tie breaks.

Many thanks to the team mangers and parents for their support on the day. Special thanks to Linda Densmore and Chris Anshau who were officials at the carnival. And thanks to the dio reps and sports coordinators for supporting tennis and allowing your students to participate in the carnival. Also a special mention to the Bathurst Tennis Centre for allowing us to host the event.

This year was the year of St Joseph in the tennis, with the boys from St Joseph's Albion Park (Wollongong) and the Girls from St Joseph's Gosford (Broken bay) taking out the championships. Both teams performed exceptionally well. Special mention to their opposition Marist College Eastwood (MCS boys) and Holy Spirit Bellambi (Girls - Wollongong) who fought a hard match in the finals.

The results are as follows

Boys 1. St Joseph's Catholic High School Albion Park 2. Marist College Eastwood 3. John Paul College Coffs Harbour 4. De Salle College Cronulla/Caringbah

Girls 1. St Joseph's College Gosford 2. Holy Spirit College Bellambi 3. MaCarthy College Tamworth 4. Cerdon College Merrylands

NSWCCC vs NSWCIS Teams event St Josph’s Catholic High School Albion Park were defeated by The Kings School 7 sets to 1. A good effort, but outplayed by an exceptional team

St Joseph’s Gosford were defeated by Pymbles Ladies College 6 sets to 0

NSWCCC Selections Report The Kingsway Playing Fields at St Mary’s played host to the 2013 NSWCCC Touch Football Championships. Despite some inclement weather leading into the event, the day proved to be a real success with the quality of touch very high and the fields in excellent condition. In the U/15 Boys Age Group, MCS defeated Wagga Wagga in the final. The Open Boys was a similar result with MCS defeating Broken Bay. The 15 Girls saw a runaway victory to the Broken Bay team who defeated Maitland/Newcastle, while Parramatta were convincing winners in the Open Girls Age Group, defeating CGSSSA in the Grand Final.

The carnival would not have been possible without the assistance of Penrith Touch Football Asscociation and its President Geoff Thornton, who was most accommodating in allowing access to thefields and doing a lot of work prior to the tournament in ensuring that the fields were in playable condition. Margaret Thornton was the Carnival Manager and ensured the day ran smoothly, organising programs and catering for staff. Greg Eggins (in consultation with Geoff Thornton) was responsible for the referees on the day and their high standard of officiating meant that the day was played in a highly competitive, yet sportsmanlike manner.

At the conclusion of the day, NSWCCC selected U/15 teams to contest the NSW All Schools Championships and Opens teams to play at the National Youth Championships. Also selected were four referees, who followed the pathway by representing NSWCCC as referees at the NSW All Schools Titles. These teams all enjoyed success with the U/15 Girls team winning the NSW Title and being rewarded by having 9 players chose in the NSW All Schools team (out of 14).

The standard of Touch Football within our Association is always improving and this is due to the increased level of coaching being offered to all players. Thankyou to everyone who has been involved in Touch Football this year, whether it be a School Coach, a Diocesan/Association Coach or Manager, a selector, an administrator or merely a supporter. I look forward to seeing you at the 2014 Championships to be held in Wagga Wagga.

National Youth Tournament Report The National Touch Youth Championships were held at Stockland Park, Kawana Qld from the 11th-14th of September 2013. The boys put in a very determined effort throughout the round games to go undefeated heading into the finals.

During the round games the boys defeated Victoria 14-6 New Zealand under 15’s 9-6 South Queensland Sharks 9-7 NSW development 10-5 Central Queensland Bulls 9-8 Brisbane City Cobras 9-4 Tasmania 12-3 Northern Territory 12-0

Unfortunately the boys lost to CHS 10-6 in the semi-final where they left one of their worst games for last.

203 NSWCCC Annual Report 2013

On behalf of the coach Michael Daher, I would like to thank each individual for their commitment not only during this competition but the time dedicated to making Saturday morning training sessions. It was a busy time for most boys being year 12 students and having other sporting commitments but the time given up helped in achieving the overall result of being ranked 3rd out of 18 teams in this competition. A special congratulation goes to Matt Dufty who was named MVP for our team. I would also extend a big thankyou to the parents who attended the competition and helped with supporting the boys. It was much appreciated and look forward to competing in next year’s competition and improving on the current results.

NSW All Schools Report Our preparation began with a solid training session at St. Mary’s in the school holidays. The boys arrived at Narrabeen on Friday 26th July for the All Schools training camp and tournament. The boys continued their training on the Friday and the following morning in readiness for the All Schools tournament. The tournament took place on Saturday 27th and Sunday 28th July.

The team began their tournament on Saturday afternoon with a hard fought 5-4 loss to CHS, and later that evening defeated an improved CIS 6-4. The following morning the boys won their second game over CIS 4-1, and finished their preliminary matches with a high quality 6-5 win over CHS, with a try in the last 20 seconds to seal the win.

The final against CHS did not go the way we planned. A slow start saw the boys trailing 4-1 after only seven minutes, but the boys fought back to get with one try of CHS with ten minutes remaining. However we never fully 206 NSWCCC Annual Report 2013

recovered from the slow start and were defeated 8-4. Although we lost the final, the efforts of the boys throughout the entire weekend could not be questioned and they represented their schools and associations proudly. With seven of the fourteen players in the team still eligible for selection next year (and one player still eligible for a further two years), the signs are good for more success in the coming years.

On behalf of the coach Michael Abood, I would like to extend thanks to the NSWCCC Touch Convener Craig Beacroft and Executive Officer Kym Skerritt for their efforts and the organisation they provided for the NSWCCC teams. Thanks also to the staff from the girls team, Jye Malcolm and Briohny Hickey for their help and support throughout the weekend and to the parents and families of the boys for getting the boys to training in the school holidays and for their attendance and support they gave to their sons over the weekend.

National Youth Championships Report An extremely talented and committed contingent of 14 girls travelled to the beautiful Sunshine Coast to compete in the National Youth Championships in September. Coached by Australian Women’s Open Representative Steph Halpin and Mark Heiss. The girls gelled very well as a team and more importantly a friendship group; they each had a common goal, which enhanced their close connection.

The girls arrived to Stockland Park at Kawana for their final pre-tournament preparation. They went over all components of their game plan showing dedication to the task ahead, and fine-tuning their key plays. As a team we discussed the opposition and what we needed to do to break them down. The enthusiasm from the NSWCCC girls was unreal and as coaches we knew that the next four days were going to be memorable.

Easing into day one with the bye first the girls had plenty of time to prepare for their first game against Western Australia. They came out firing executing their game plan perfectly with a win 11-2. Emma Tonegato used her experience to lead the team in attack scoring 5 individual tries and having a hand in many more. An excellent start for our 2013 campaign.

Game two took a while to settle into with the North Queensland Tropical Cyclones coming out with a fast and erratic style of play. An ankle injury to Greta Virgona mid-way through the game left the girls with just 13 and our

209 NSWCCC Annual Report 2013

utility player Sarah Thornton moving from a wing position in to the middle. The girls played and impressive team game with tries being spread across our side, it was a great win by NSWCCC getting up 10-3.

Day two started against the NSWTA Development team, a grudge match by any means. The girls were playing against their mates and were not prepared to lose. Laura Coleman made her stamp on the tournament with some hard running and contributing two tries to the 7-2 victory. Unfortunately Greta Virgona who had returned to play after an ankle injury on day one ended up with a hamstring strain, which subsequently put her out for the remainder of the tournament. The girls adjusted flawlessly to the 13-man team and had great support from Greta throughout the competition.

Round 5 saw the girls meet Queensland Fire, they knew in their minds that this would be the most challenging game of their tournament with Queensland being one of the strongest, if not, the strongest team. From the get go Queensland took control of the game, scoring off the tap off. The girls responded with some great line attack but could not finish off. The opposition continued to score tries against us and dictated the play, some questionable decisions by the referees frustrated our girls, however they continued to put in a gutsy effort against a brilliant team. They lost 8-0 but held their heads high with some positive reinforcement by captain Maddison Fisher.

Final game of day two and the girls were feeling tired after already playing two tough games. They came up against the Sunshine Coast Pineapples, who were another tournament favourite. With fatigue well and truly set in the girls got off to a slow start, and a few early tries by the opposition left us chasing. Samantha Rodgers took control in attack scoring two tries and our wingers Abbey Papenhuyzen and Abbey Urwin took control of our defence making some incredible touches. As the end of the game was drawing near we were up by one, however a late try from the Pineapples left the score locked at 4 all. A well deserved recovery session and good night sleep was definitely needed by the girls. A few niggling injuries were starting to arise so we took time to manage those overnight and ensure that they were maintained for the tournament.

Day 3 started with a brilliant game against Tasmania with NSWCCC winning 17-0. At least half of the team put tries on the board, which demonstrates the quality of their team game! Once again Emma Tonegato was a try-scoring machine with 5 and Abbey Papenhuyzen following close behind with 4. This was extremely positive for the girls after coming off a very tough day the day before. Credit goes to the Tasmanian girls who played hard for the full 40mins despite the score line.

Round 8 NSWCCC came up against the New Zealand 17s, although unable to win the tournament they came out firing and were an extremely physical presence. With a couple of quick tries from NZ the girls were extremely rattled by their different style of play, a few words from the coaches on the sideline and some adjustment to our play allowed the girls to get back into the game. Sabrina Green and Annabelle Regan were a driving force for NSWCCC matching it with the opposition and stamping their authority. The attack was lead by inspirational captain Maddison Fisher; she scored two of her own tries and directed the team around the park throwing everything they had at the kiwis, with 15 seconds left on the clock NSWCCC had one last shot to score but unfortunately could not which left the score at 6 all.

Knowing that they were not able to make the final the girls approached their last round game with the same dedication as they approached the 8 rounds prior. They were up against South Australia Heat and although tired they played a tremendous game of touch. Zara Nicholas used her speed in the link scoring a try of her own and setting up two more and Kaitlin Grace McCaffery used some slick static plays to get her across the line twice. The South Australian girls put up a fight but could not handle to heat of the NSWCCC girls. The final score was 10-2.

After a strong performance throughout the round games the NSWCCC girls finished 3rd in their pool, with only semi-finals to be played this pushed them out of the top four. Although disappointed the girls were extremely proud of their efforts and began their recovery for the 5th and 6th playoff against rivals CIS. The last night together as a team was spent with plenty of ice, compression gear, laughs and a beautiful dinner prepared by captain Fisher and coach Halpin.

The game against CIS saw some admirable efforts by our girls, in particular Brittany Coe who had fractured her hand the day before the tournament began and played with a long-term achilles injury with no complaints. Brittany was a workhorse for our team and her courage and determination was inspiring right through to the end. The girls had many laughs in our play off; they wanted to enjoy their final game together (even trying some of Heissy’s old school touch moves). Tarnii Price the bossy winger had an excellent game finishing off two brilliant touchdowns. The CIS girls didn’t let us have the win easy they played hard and challenged us right till the end. The final score was 7-3.

At the conclusion of the tournament we had three awards to present Players Player Emma Tonegato voted by the players, Emma well and truly deserved this award. Although not a captain, her experience and leadership by example is to be commended and was clearly recognised by the team.

Coaches Award Annabelle Regan voted by the coaches, Annabelle’s contributions to the team were extremely valuable, she took any advice and add it straight into her game which enabled her to have an outstanding tournament. Annabelle’s tenacious style of play is showing that she is a force to be reckoned with when she returns next year.

Most Valuable Player Maddison Fisher voted by the coaches, Maddison worked extremely hard for her team and lead by example on the field with her experience and determination. In all facets of her game she gave 100% regardless of any circumstances. Her involvement in every aspect of our campaign has been extremely influential, and her ability to bring people together is to be admired.

Congratulations girls. Thank you to all of the parents for their commitment to this NSWCCC team. Your help with everything during preparation and at the tournament was greatly valued by your daughters and us. Your support at the fields demonstrates that NSWCCC is a FAMILY. A special mention to our camp mums, Anette Coleman and Helen Wilson who prepared breakfast, lunch and dinner for us everyday of the tournament. We truly appreciate it!

A big thank you to Kym Skerritt and the work she did in making sure we were accommodated, entered, clothed and transported. Kym has always ensured that NSWCCC is prepared for tournaments and her efforts are to be praised.

While some people may look the bottom line and see that we finished 5th overall it would be an understatement to say that this team is anything less than that of Championship material. They showed that they could perform against the best junior players in the country and do so with complete professionalism. In fact it is the foundation that these girls laid in 2013 that will ensure NSWCCC teams in the coming years are very strong. After a few farewells and tears the campaign for another year is over. We certainly hope that those girls who are available for next year will return with the same attitude as they brought in 2013 and we certainly can’t wait to coach them.

The carnival would not have been possible without the assistance of Penrith Touch Football Asscociation and its President Geoff Thornton, who was most accommodating in allowing access to thefields and doing a lot of work prior to the tournament in ensuring that the fields were in playable condition. Margaret Thornton was the Carnival Manager and ensured the day ran smoothly, organising programs and catering for staff. Greg Eggins (in consultation with Geoff Thornton) was responsible for the referees on the day and their high standard of officiating meant that the day was played in a highly competitive, yet sportsmanlike manner.

At the conclusion of the day, NSWCCC selected U/15 teams to contest the NSW All Schools Championships and Opens teams to play at the National Youth Championships. Also selected were four referees, who followed the pathway by representing NSWCCC as referees at the NSW All Schools Titles. These teams all enjoyed success with the U/15 Girls team winning the NSW Title and being rewarded by having 9 players chose in the NSW All Schools team (out of 14).

The standard of Touch Football within our Association is always improving and this is due to the increased level of coaching being offered to all players. Thankyou to everyone who has been involved in Touch Football this year, whether it be a School Coach, a Diocesan/Association Coach or Manager, a selector, an administrator or merely a supporter. I look forward to seeing you at the 2014 Championships to be held in Wagga Wagga.

NSW All Schools Report Jye Malcom (Coach) and Briohny Hickey (Manager), met at facility at 9am where facility staff went through the weekend’s program and distributed keys for accommodation. Parents and players began arriving shortly after and assembled in dormitory car park. Kym Skerrit arrived at 930 to distribute outstanding uniforms and to resolve any issues in regards to player numbers and sizes.

Recommendations included obtaining accurate details of player numbers from previous years on day of selection. Also ordering and delivering of uniforms before the first training day in June to identify issues before camp.

Accommodation was great, no issues arising with sleeping arrangements or washrooms. All staff were very comfortable, venue staff were very accommodating and hospitable. All meals were adequate and well timed, with players and staff not left hungry at any time. Field allocation for training sessions was sufficient, with a whole field for session 1 and half for session 2.

The Program for the girls was extremely well organised and effective. Session 1 was at 11am and went for 1 hour. The session focused on solidifying plays from the holiday session and team cohesion. Session 2 at 3pm reviewed driving patterns and intensity. Friday afternoon the girls played a game organised by Jye in order to help further team cohesion and confidence leading into Saturday. Friday evening after dinner a team meeting/bonding session was held to discuss the expectations for the tournament and to further strengthen team bonds. All girls were in bed by 9 and asleep by 10 which was great, as it had been a long day.

Saturday morning breakfast was at 7.30 am, this was followed by a long walk and session 1 for the day. The focus of this session was defence and tap moves. This session went until 11 am. The pool session was after lunch with all girls appreciative of the recovery time. After this girls were sent to get ready for photographs and be ready for our first games.

The tournament was a tremendous success with the U/15 girls playing some great Touch. The team improved with every game, as shown by our win in the final against a strong CHS team.

The results are listed below Game 1 V CHS Loss 4-3, Game 2 V CIS Win 5-0, Game 3 V CIS Win 3-1, Game 4 V CHS Draw 1-1 Final V CHS Win 4-2

Congratulations to all of the girls for their outstanding effort and commitment to the team this year In addition to bringing home the championship a special congratulations goes to the 8 girls who due their outstanding performances over the two days were selected into the All Schools Team.

TRIATHLON - 2013 ANNUAL REPORT

The 2013 NSW All Schools Championships were held at the International Regatta Centre - Penrith, on Thursday 21st and Friday 22nd February. This venue is the premier triathlon venue in NSW proving to be a very safe, fast and spectator friendly course. This event continues to grow with over 2400 students participating throughout the two days. On the Thursday athletes took on the challenge of the swim, bike and run all achieving success at different levels. For some it’s a race to make the state team, for others it’s simply a feat to complete the gruelling three disciplines that make up triathlon. On the Friday, the team event provided many students with their first taste of triathlon, competing in teams completing only one leg of the course. This day is by far the most enjoyable – with individual schools supporting the event well, often entering a number of teams.

A very hard working triathlon committee continue to modify and streamline an already successful event. Our endeavour to provide students with an opportunity to participate in a safe and friendly atmosphere is always at the forefront of our decisions. It is important to recognise many members of this committee in particular thanks must go to Paul Roger and Bruce Thomas, the CHS and CIS conveners.

It was pleasing to be able to increase the number of CCC officials this year, with a number of individuals keen to be involved, all contributed valuably and certainly made a difference. Their willingness to continue to be involved in the future will be appreciated with continued growth of involvement of students from the Catholic sector. Many of these officials became integral to effective running not only of this event, but to the National Championships which NSW also hosted.

The 2014 event will held at the International Regatta Centre – Penrith, with the Individual event being conducted on 4th March and the team / relay events being conducted on 5th March. In 2014, the School Sport Australia Triathlon Championships will be conducted in Bendigo.

A reminder that the students do not need to be elite to participate, we encourage all standards to enter, both individual and teams events.

NSWCCC Selections Report Our Selection Trials were held at Bankstown Basketball Stadium in May early in Term 2. The number of players attending was limited with only one court for boys and one court for girls. Many players had difficulty with the website and some had very late notice of the Trials due to the inability to publicise these “minor sport” selections. We had a total of 36 students ( 20 girls and 16 boys) Following some trial matches on the day a Boys and Girls Squad was named. These squads were involved in three training sessions on successive Friday nights and the Tri- Series was played on the Saturday of the long weekend (8th June) against CHS and CIS teams.

Students selected in NSW All Schools Merit Team Joshua Moll St Paul’s Catholic College Wentworthville

All Schools Tri-Series Report The match against CHS was challenging for the NSWCCC boys as the superior skills and excellent spiking of the boys resulted in a clear 3-0 win for CHS. The CIS team was almost equal in skill and ability resulting in another 3-0 loss for the CCC team.

With the CIS players playing in a weekly competition and the CHS team having played in tournaments and trained for 3 months, the cooperation and team work of our opposition was very evident.

Congratulations to Joshua Moll of St. Pauls Catholic College, Wentworthville who was named in the “All Star Six” for the Boys Competition.

For 2014 it is hoped that with greater publicity for our selection trials and the ability to run a round robin competition on the day with more teams attending that the selectors can choose from a larger field and therefore a stronger team will result for our NSWCCC squads.

NSW All Schools Report The match against the CIS team was not a great challenge with our strong NSWCCC team winning 3-0 in a very one sided match. The CHS team was much stronger having played several tournaments over Easter as a team and many players had been in the team last year. Our CCC team had very close set scores but went down 3-1. The CHS team was really a fully representative team having chosen the strongest players from each zone in the state.

Congratulations to Montana Meucci and Susannah Rennie from Santa Sabina who were named in the “All Star Six” as outstanding players on the day

Both teams contained a mix of experienced and new players and we were optimistic about their chances at the NSW All Schools Carnival.

Students selected in NSW All Schools Team Angus Lambie De La Salle College Caringbah Hunor Kisci St Leos Wahroonga

NSW All Schools Report Both teams competed well at their respective carnivals however it must be acknowledged that a lack of coaching personal impacted negatively on the performances of both team. We were unable to find either coaches or managers for our second sides and as a result all our teams suffered in their efforts as coaches and managers attempted to look after both teams on a very hectic couple of days. The preparations of our teams at training prior to the tournaments were also affected by this problem. We will need to review our training and preparation process for next year. Weekend training sessions were not well received by staff this year.

Both our boys and girls teams trained on the two weekends prior to their tournaments. As mentioned lack of coaching staff impacted on the quality of the sessions and this showed in the tournaments where though our teams were competitive they lacked cohesiveness in their matches.

Many thanks to my assistant manager and coach this year Beth Conlan who assisted me in a multitude of ways with both the boys and girls teams this year. I simply could not have done it without her assistance.

Finally many thanks to executive officer Kym Skerritt and the staff at CSSS for all their administrative assistance with supply of uniforms and paperwork to prepare the teams.

NSWCCC WATER POLO CHAMPIONSHIPS – 2013 ANNUAL REPORT

Overview of Event The CGSSSA Water Polo tournament was held over two days, on the 30th October and 1st November, 2013. There were 8 teams entered into the Senior Division and 9 teams entered into the Junior Division. The lowered numbers in the junior competition was disappointing with regular Water Polo schools missing in entries. The odd number in the juniors also caused a few dilemma’s with the draw. The Sydney Olympic Park Aquatic Centre (SOPAC) allowed students to play in an impressive facility (as well as mix with Olympic swimming stars in between games, with a quick photo or two adding to the excitement of the tournament.) The growth in the depth of water polo players and teams in both divisions across schools is a real positive for both the CGSSSA and CCC associations. Stella Maris, Manly were standouts again in both the junior and senior divisions.

Evaluation The championships ran smoother in the senior division with the timing spot on and sufficient time allocated between semi-finals and finals. However the grand final start time was delayed (by SOPAC Staff) and this caused issues for both organisers and the teams in general. There were numerous players from a variety of schools with long nails and no swimming caps, which delayed the commencement of round games. All schools arrived on time and had players and coaches sorted to commence games at 8.30am. It was beneficial to those traveling long distances to the carnival to have a delayed start time in the 2nd round. With the booking being done through Kym Skerritt there was a mix up with paperwork and miscommunication with requests. However, the staff on pool deck for both days were fantastic and the purchasing of new scoring equipment made the final easier to adjudicate. Having no lane to warm-up in due to heavy NSWIS swimming bookings was frustrating for teams playing in the second games, but we made do with what we had. The officials were highly organised and did their best to support all players from the elite to the beginner. The St Clare’s College students who were recorders also proved to be an asset to the tournaments overall success.

There were a few issues that arose during the two days. Although it has been mentioned over the last few years and also in numerous emails for this carnival we still had a large number of players with long nails. In terms of safety it is crucial that staff or coaches for teams ensure that students DO NOT play with long nails. All teams were inspected by the convenor prior to their first game but it was something that should be overseen by staff from individual schools. Booking of the pool must be overseen by the convenor not CCC as it is prior knowledge of the carnival that helps with what is required. There was an argument that occurred between two CGSSSA schools at the senior competition involving the coach and an opposing player. The referee gave and official ‘yellow’ card to the coach and as convenor I also warned the coach. Both parties were spoken to and emails sent to involved schools.

There was a last minute change to the junior draw this didn’t cause hassles from anyone except the convenor. The change was made to allow more games for the lower based teams. All coaches received this update via email and in hard copy on arrival to the pool. New programs were made and no ramifications were felt by the convenor or reported by the competing schools.

Staff from all competing schools, need to ensure that they read the By-Laws associated with the sport and also need to understand that these can’t be changed on the day. Coaches must also ensure they are fully aware of water polo rules so officials don’t spend time coaching.

Strengths All schools had an equitable amount of game play throughout the day making the tournament worthwhile for all teams. The juniors are continuing to grow in skill and the high standard of play throughout the day was a highlight. Overall the sportsmanship demonstrated throughout was appropriate and this was supported by the watchful eye of all the referees. Finally the carnival was thoroughly enjoyed by all teams which was pleasing to see and was well supported by a growing number of parent spectators.

Recommendations - Continue to use the streamlined registration process: All teams had to be entered via the CCC website which caused some initial confusion. I was given access this year to entries via Sue Wells & Kym Skerritt, which helped immensely. This meant I could contact CCC schools directly through their details on the website.

- Better communication to competing schools: Continue to ensure all CCC schools competing in the carnival to be sent the CGSSSA by-laws and complete the same entry form as CGSSSA requesting the student’s

225 NSWCCC Annual Report 2013

year group. The entry form must be a mandatory component of the registration process and cap numbers must be completed as these will become the template for scoring.

- Refinement of Game Play: Continued use of shot clocks and electronic scoreboard (for the finals only) to benefit staff, players and also spectators. Book in SOPAC official in advance to look at the running of this. All round games should continue to be 5 minutes / quarter and then 6 minutes for playoffs and semi-finals. As long as SOPAC can support it 5 minute actual time per quarter should continue in the finals

- Improved Safety Inspections: Staff from competing schools to ensure that players have swimming cap as well as no long or acrylic nails. These will continue to be checked prior to the commencement of the days play for all schools. Ensure all schools know that no taping can be provided by SOPAC staff.

- CCC Representation: Ensure that the CCC Water Polo team trial registration does not cut off prior to the carnival running so details can be included in the program. This entry date was changed by Kym Skerritt

Results Senior Division Stella Maris took control back over the trophy beating Monte 10-7.

Junior Division Stella Maris took out the final with some amazing goals and excellent team play beating St Scholastica’s 13-6.

Senior Carnival Santa Sabina took out second place, whilst in the Juniors St Clare’s College finished as runners up in CGSSSA.

All round game Semi-final and playoff results can be forwarded to school co-ordinators.

Thanks must go to SOPAC, Chris Hook and Kym Skerritt from NSWCCC and all CCC teams for their continued collaboration in this event. A special thanks to all CGSSSA Staff and students who supported the running of the day and entered into each game with enthusiasm and sportsmanship. My appreciation to the officials for their expertise assistance in running the carnival so smoothly and to the students and staff at St Clare’s College who made it a very successful tournament.
