Congratulations to Oliver H and CJ A. Their team were the Winners of the U12 Premier division John Martin Country Tournament held at the Snakepit last weekend. 

They won 5 out of 6 games, only losing their first game by 1 point. 

Following their recent success in winning the Basketball NSW Southern Junior League Under 12 Girls Division 1 championship just two weeks ago, our talented GSFM Illawarra Hawks Girls Representative Players also competed in the prestigious state-wide tournament over the long weekend. The girls Savannah M, Ellie M, Alessia A and Evelyn B proudly claiming the title and reinforcing their position among the state’s elite junior basketball teams.

Both teams played great, demonstrated hard work, amazing teamwork and skill and determination.

MacKillop Touch Football Trials

It was a great day in Wagga for the MacKillop Touch trials last Friday (at least when the fog cleared and the temperature reached double figures). The Wollongong teams including our GSFM students Maddi, Evelyn and Piper performed exceptionally well with a very high standard of skill and talent on display. Congratulations girls on representing GSFM with pride. We’re proud of your dedication, teamwork and sportsmanship on and off the field.
