WINTER SPORT

The results from Week 2 of Winter Sport:

Football
Open Girls - Shalom defeated NBSHS (1) 2-0. The North Bundy team was a formidable opponent with plenty of talent, speed and experience. The Shalom girls were victorious through constant attacking raids from the strikers and a strong defence from the backs. However the Shalom team victory was mainly due to the efforts of the goalie and player of the match Anthea Linderberg. Anthea saved several attempts at goal from North and she deserves most of the recognition for the win with her outstanding ability to put herself on the line to help team mates.
Open Boys - Shalom defeated BCC 3-0. After a very tight first half of footy, a couple of positional changes was a major factor for Shalom’s victory. A BCC send off for an illegal challenge, plus the tireless efforts of strikers Marc Oshima and Nathan Greenhalgh, put the game beyond doubt in the second half.

Basketball - Junior Boys - Shalom Black defeated St Luke’s 51-16. A good team effort by all 8 players however Luke Smith, with his superior ball handling abilities, was voted Shalom’s MVP.

Hockey - Open Girls - Shalom defeated NBSHS 1-0. Best players for Shalom were Sarah Vicenzotti and Ashleigh Martin. Both girls backed up and supported their younger and less experienced teammates well both in attack and defence. Amanda Vicenzotti, in goal, made many courageous saves. A great effort from all players.

The Confraternity Rugby League team are looking forward to their trip to Brisbane during the holidays to defend their division “B” title. Forty teams from around the state will be taking part in the annual carnival. Coach John Gilbert is extremely happy with the preparation the boys have put in. They are so far undefeated in the seven matches they have played. Mr Gilbert said that he is looking at his senior and more experienced players to step up and lead by example to the younger members of the team.

Other schools Shalom will play against include Emmaus -  Rockhampton, Seinna College - Sunshine Coast and Southern Cross -  Scarborough  before entering the quarter finals on Tuesday afternoon.
Many thanks to our main sponsor Rum City Foods for their continued support.  Good luck to all involved.

During the first week of the school holidays two Shalom netball teams will travel to Brisbane to strive to uphold proud traditions of excellence when the girls take part in the Queensland Independent Secondary Schools Netball carnival being held by host college Clairvaux MacKillop.

The girls have been training hard since earlier this year and are hoping for a similar result to last year after taking out Division One for the second year running. Both teams will play other schools from around the state including Rockhapmton Grammar School, Emmaus College, Xavier College and The Cathedral College.

Both teams have very versatile players and are looking forward to the challenge of the week long carnival. This year the girls have been lucky enough to have been sponsored from local businesses and our appreciation goes out to Rum City Foods, McDonalds West Bundaberg and Zac’s Meats.
