Spring Challenge AFL
Our Spring Challenge AFL boys played two matches against Knox last Friday night and were a real force to be reckoned with, taking both matches convincingly. Our whole team showed great sportsmanship, jumping in to help the opposition when there were players short and more often than not being the best player on the opposing team. We’ve been unable to muster an opponent for this Friday and so our Spring Challenge has come to an early end. Though, given the current weather, the likelihood of any games going ahead in this final week is pretty slender.
Girls AFL finished off their season with a series of tight tussles at Pymble last Saturday. Watching the girls from all of our three teams embrace the challenge of a new sport has been a real insight. Despite going down to some very tough Abbotsleigh girls, our teams were all right into it, tackling, smothering and bumping their way into every contest.
NSWCIS Athletics Championships
Joel Daily (Yr 5) has continued to dominate even at the next level, winning the 100m and Long Jump at the NSWCIS Championships last Thursday. Joel’s 14.07s 100m is rapid and will hold him in good stead whilst representing NSWCIS at the PSSA State Championships. Joel jumped his personal best a 4.64m, despite running between events in a heavy program.
Joels isn’t the only Redlands athlete to be heading to the NSW Championships. Ashley Corn and Jeffrey and Daniel Benoleil also qualified for the State Championships along with Joel in the Jnr Boys 4 x 100m relay. The boys ran great races and their 56.94s 4x 100m is an exceptional time. The boys put together some of the cleanest changes I’ve seen from a Redlands relay team and showed plenty of heart when tested at this high calibre.
