MORTIMER SHIELD - League Tag

On the 31st of May St Pat's presented the Yr 5/6 girls along with Addison Fairall, Sadie Eccleston and Abby Mcdonnell from year 4 to play in the Mortimer Shield League Tag competition in Tumut.

Our first game was against Gundagai Public at 10:25. The final score was 20-4. Gundagai Public won, but it was our first game.  We all tried our best.In our second game we versed Tumut public and we won 24-4. Our third game we versed McAuley, it was a close one but we won by 16-12. We were so close to losing but that all changed in our second half by scoring another try. In our last game we versed small schools Nangus/Brungle/Bongongo, we won with a result of 24-12.

After the big day and all our hard work we all were exhausted with a couple of bruises but we all had a good day. It was a close one but we did not make it through to the final, but we all tried our best. Sadie got the player of the day, we all think she deserved it.

Abbey said “On behalf of the St Patrick’s girls team we would like to thank our manager Mrs Lisa Wilson and our coach Jason Flanagan/ in other words my father, for coaching us and for training us as well.  Also special thanks to parents who drove over either their own child or other children as well".
