Bronco's Cup Netball - Round 1

On Wednesday 29^th May, 4 teams of girls from Years 7-10 braved the cold and prepared to take on teams from Gundi, Allora, Stanthorpe and Warwick for round 1 of the 2019 Foxtel Netball Broncos Cup.

With each team playing 6 games – and one playing 7 on the day, it was a tough ask, but our girls were up for the challenge. All teams played extremely well, but most importantly, in the spirt of the game and represented the school extremely well.

Our A grade (Year 9/10) team came away with 4 wins from 6 which was an awesome effort with girls playing out of position all day. One of the two B grade (Year 8/9) teams came away undefeated with 7 wins from 7 starts, and our other B grade team only narrowly missed out on a clean sweep with 5 from 6. Perhaps the most impressive of all teams was our C grade (Year 7) team who rallied and came together after a late injury for 3 wins from 6 starts but improved each game in leaps and bounds – showing teamwork and great game play well beyond their years.

A special mention to Sophie Otten who did a remarkable job of coaching the Year 7 girls through their first Broncos Cup tournament.

Mrs Collins, Mrs Bourke, Miss Slattery and Mrs Pfitzner were all extremely proud of the girls and couldn’t have asked for a better display of sportsmanship and maturity.

Bring on round 2 in Gundi where ACW will be vying for a win in each division!

Bronco's Cup Rugby League - Round 1

Round 1 of the Bronco's Cup competition proved challenging for both rugby league sides. A grade, consisting of Year 9 and 10 boys, had a confident start defeating Stanthorpe State High and Allora/Killarney/Clifton combined. The afternoon contest against rivals Goondiwindi resulted in an 8 point loss. In B grade, Allora/Killarney/Clifton combined. Warwick High came out of the gates strong and built pressure from the kick off resulting in two losses. The tables turned in the afternoon when ACW went head to head against Goondiwindi. Structured ball movement and some strong defence had the boys on the board resulting in an 18 point win. Overall, the boys showed great sportsmanship towards, not only their own team mates, but played within the spirit of the game. Round 2 of Bronco’s Cup is in Goondiwindi on the 12^th of June.

 

Darling Downs Open Rugby League

The Open boys rugby league team travelled to Harristown last week. A confident, fit side allowed the team to construct multiple plays. In attack the boys crossed multiple times and only conceded two tries. The final score was 28 - 8 to ACW at full time.
