Ballarat Excursion

Thank you to Mr Watts, Mr Jay and Ms Davies and our

fantastic parent helpers for organising, managing and

supervising the very enjoyable and successful excursion to

Ballarat. Mr Watts is still recovering as we speak.

Congratulations to our Secondary Cricketers

I was very proud to have received a phone call from the

Principal of Gulargambone Central School to praise our

victorious secondary cricket team for their outstanding

sportsmanship and respectful interactions with other teams

during the course of the state carnival. Again, another excellent

example of how fantastic our students are and how lucky we are

to have such a sensational group of young men in our midst.

Cricket Finals

Coleambally won the “Open Central Schools 40 over” Cricket

Knockout competition, dominating at the State Finals in Dubbo

last week. They played Molong in the semi-final, batting first

and finishing with 6/200 after the 40 overs. Top scorers were

Josh Fattore and Ryan Mannes with 77 and 33. The bowling

attack was relentless with Thomas Fattore finishing with top

figures on 3/6 after getting an impressive hatrick and Jack

Cullen contributing with 2/7 to bowl Molong out for 65 and

make the final against Gulargambone. Coleambally batted first

in the final and again stayed in for all 40 overs finishing on

their highest total yet of 7/225. Top scorers were Cooper Smith

with 80 and Ryan on 27. The bowling was a team effort with

each team member bowling an over and six players sharing the

wickets. Best figures came from Thomas Bowditch and Chris

Hayes both with 2/1. Coleambally bowled Gulargambone out

for 95 after 35 overs winning the match and the State Final.

Player of final was awarded to Captain Cooper after top

scoring in the batting and a tremendous catch in the field.

Thank you to Mr. Brett Burton, Simon Mackie and Mick Breed

for transporting the students to the round games and finals in

Dubbo, umpiring and assisting the boys. Congratulation team

on not only winning the finals, but also for the sportsmanship

and teamwork you demonstrated throughout the competition.
