Cross Country
The 2018 ISA Cross Country Carnival was held last Wednesday and every runner ran to the best of their ability and represented Redlands with pride. Regardless of what result each runner achieved, they gave their absolute all in each race. One of the highlights this year was the team spirit in each age group which led to some of the best team results in Redlands history. For the very first time we won the Senior Boys Division. Redlands also won the Junior Girls Division (for the second year running!). Redlands finished 2nd overall in the Girls and 4th overall for the Boys, which are both exceptional results! In terms of individual results Redlands had some terrific top ten results with a number of athletes qualifying to represent ISA at the NSWCIS Cross Country Championships.
In the U14 Girls, Olivia Vigneault (Yr 8) had a superb run, to finish in 1st place (for the 2nd year running!), well ahead of her rivals.
In the U15 Girls, we had a very strong field of Redland runners. Emma Mahon (Yr 9) led from start to finish as she powered through the 4km course; Olivia Donoghue (Yr 9) also had a strong run to finish in 3rd place.
In the 18 Years girls, Hannah Johns (Yr 12) finished in 3rd place in what was a great run! She was the only Redlands runner in this race and finished extremely well!
Other results include Emilie Bessell (Yr 7) 4th in U12 Girls; Bronte Blackhouse (Yr 7) 4th in U13 Girls; Ella Palmer (Yr 8) 4th in U14 Girls; Jonah Koppers (Yr 9) 4th in U15 Boys; Leo Collin (Yr 10) 4th in U16 Boys; Rebecca Faurby (Yr 11) 4th in U17 Girls; Zachary Johnston (Yr 12) 4th in 18+.
Every athlete should be commended for all their efforts on the day and a big thank you goes to Cross Country Captain, Zachary Johnston (Yr 12) for his dedication to Cross Country throughout his time at Redlands.

Football
Girls Football
What a stellar week for Redlands Girls Football. In Round 5 our girls’ teams dominated the pitch. The 1st XI Girls came up against St Andrew’s and came out strong, finishing the game with a very convincing 8-0 win. The 2nd Girls team cemented a 4-1 win against Central Coast. The Junior B Girls had a tough game against St Andrew’s, ending with a 0-0 draw. Congratulations to the Junior A Girls who were the far superior team on the day, winning with an extremely impressive 12-0 win against Oxley’s top Junior Girls team.
Boys Football
The majority of our boys’ teams played away at St Patricks’ on Saturday. Having played St Pat’s just a few weeks earlier, we were hoping to improve on our results from the first round. Huge congratulations to the 1st XI Boys who not only had their first win of the season, with a 2-0 win, but also defeated St Pat’s 1st Boys for the first time in over 20 years. For many of our other teams at St Pat’s we fell just short of a victory, however the significant improvement compared to the first time we played them is extremely promising. Well done to the 13C Boys who had a great game against St Andrew’s, coming away with a 2-1 win.
We are looking forward to the second half of the Redlands Football season and hoping to continue to improve across both the Girls and Boys Football programs.

Hockey
Last weekend saw our 1sts make the trip to Bowral where they played a solid 1-0 win against Oxley with Penny Butler finding the goal. Both the 2nds and 3rds travelled to Moorebank where they played against SACS. The 2nds won with a 2-1 score line. The game was a brilliant, hard fought result. The goals were scored by Maya Auld and Sophie Hilliar and an assist to Freya Gait. The 3rds were again challenged in defence throughout their game against SACS. Amongst the team, Jess Travers-Wolfe and Jazmin Evans stood out, saving many shots on goal going in. Unable to take advantage of the breakaways, our girls lost 2-0 but should be particularly happy with how they played.
Netball
We had some fantastic results across the weekend, with a number of our Senior teams playing tight matches against Oakhill and our 2nds and 3rds walking away with some great wins. Our 4ths unfortunately went down by three points but showed some great skills. A big thank you to Bridie Carmichael (Yr 9) who stepped in to play with her sister Perri after there was an injury to a teammate (Perri and Bridie pictured).
Friends of Netball – the next Friends of Netball meeting is on Tuesday 12 June at 6.00pm in room L1.3.

Tennis
A tough weekend for Redlands ISA Tennis with some very close results going the way of St Patrick’s. Our 1sts team went down in fighting spirit (4-4 / 34-38). The 2nds had a hard day and were not able to get the win (1-7). The 3rds were not able to secure a victory going down (2-6). The 4ths produced another good performance and ended up having a draw (4-4/36-36.) Well done to all players.
There is no fixture this long weekend. Enjoy.
Rugby
On the weekend we saw everything that is good about Redlands Rugby as our 14s came from behind across the dying minutes of the game to secure a tough win against Redfield. The game saw length of the field efforts from Harrison Fung and Hunter Auld with Hunter running in multiple tries including the match winner. To be able to see the last five minutes of our Junior game, with the entire 1st XV squad on the side lines cheering them on, was a sight to behold and I am sure a highlight for many from this season so far. The efforts of our wonderful 14s was near faultless and to see boys lift towards the end of the match was just perfection. Fynn Leach (below) was again so strong through contact but it is also the leadership he is displaying on and off the field which is so good to see. Jack Baker deserves a mention as well, his lovely service from fly half, matched with his footwork, allowed us to beat the defenders early and create more space for damaging runs for players like Hunter and also Quinn Bryant. Amazing efforts matched perfectly with the end huddle of our juniors and our 1st XV Squad – Rugby perfection.
