Congratulations to our 14’s Girls League Tag team, who travelled up to Port Macquarie to compete in the School Girl League Tag Challenge.  All girls were outstanding in their attitude, sportsmanship and team spirit across the entire Gala Day and are to be commended on representing the school with excellence.

St Clare’s defensive efforts in all their games was outstanding!  The girls conceded just four tries across all three matches played in energy sapping, hot and humid conditions.  The girl’s started the day against a well-coached and skilful MacKillop College from Port Macquarie.  The game was a physical end-to-end encounter with strong defensive efforts and attacking sets on display from both teams.  MacKillop crossed late in the second half to run out eventual 12-8 winners in a high class encounter.

St Clare’s strong defence was again on display in their second round encounter against Taree High School.  St Clare’s raced out to a 4-0 lead early in the first half with a great team try set up off the back of some fantastic attacking runs from the St Clare’s halves.  St Clare’s continued their dominance in the second half finishing the match with a comprehensive three try 12-0 victory.

Our final game was against Kempsey High School, with the girls finishing off where they started the day by displaying impenetrable defence and class and athleticism in attack.  St Clare’s orchestrated some fantastic and skilful backline moves and team tries to finish with a comprehensive 28-4 victory.  Well done girls!

Lastly, a big thank you to Mrs Parvin for her time and dedication in training, coaching and supporting our team, without her outstanding and tireless efforts events such as this would not be possible.
