On day two, the students went about the run chase in workmanlike fashion. Harry Fullerton put on an entertaining batting performance that included several 6s and 4s and fast running singles. Harry and Liam confessed after the game that they found Mr Curtis’ bowling deceptively quick and difficult to face. This was obvious during the game when the run rate slowed to a standstill during those overs. Other highlights from the innings were some delicate shots from Hamish White and a brutal 6 smashed over the fence by Stella George. Unfortunately for the students their run chase fell short by just 11 runs.
Harry Fullerton- 26

Hamish White- 12

Mountain Biking
Holly Lubcke competed at the National XCO championships last weekend. Chasing the national title, she unfortunately suffered bike problems early in the race when her handle bars rolled forward in the clamp. This technical tragedy left her 2 min 30 sec behind the leader and in last place. From there she still managed to claw her way back to finish in 4th. She was working hard to pass everyone, except the eventual winner. Big congratulations to Holly on this remarkable effort.
Triathlon State Championships
Year 9 student, Patrick Mackie competed at the recent Triathlon State Championships from last Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Patrick competed in both the individual and relay events. His best result was a 15th placing in the relay. Congratulations to Patrick for his ability to compete at such a high level in what is undoubtedly one of the most gruelling events known to man.
