MacKillop Rugby
On Monday, Oliver Daley, George Clark and Alex Byrne travelled to Forbes to play rugby in the Canberra Goulburn team at the MacKillop trails. The competition was tough and our students played their best. Unfortunately we were unable to make the team for the next level, however the boys received raving reviews.

Rachael Pearson Trophy (Schoolgirl Trophy) - Rugby League
Our 16s girls tackle team travelled to Wagga on Wednesday 3rd July to play in the Riverina Schoolgirl Trophy Final.
They first took on Kildare College and opened up the scoring early, putting Kildare on the back foot. With solid play through the middle including strong attacking runs from Josey Hoey and Grace Derrick, the girls were in front by half time. Outstanding defence from Nellie Ward, Shyla Willoughby and Alexis Carr restricted scoring opportunities for the opposition, and with precision kicking from Ashlee Peacey, the girls came away with a 22-8 victory.
After the game our 2 captains Lucy Paterson and Shyla Willoughby were interviewed by Prime 7 news, and did a wonderful job speaking on behalf of our school.

The second game saw the girls up against West Wyalong, who they had only narrowly beaten in their qualifying round. Their flawless defence kept West Wyalong scoreless. Matilda Sannazzaro out wide and Willow Hall through the middle were both strong in defence.
The last game was against the favourites, Murrumbidgee. Sacred Heart opened the scoring early and that set the tone for the rest of the game. Hallie Kelly’s running game and line defence was well supported with hit-ups from Scarlett Chambers and Caitlin Taber. Leila Ismay provided invaluable back up late in the game as the girls came away with 2 late tries to seal victory.
The highlight of the day was being crowned as the inaugural Rachael Pearson Trophy winners, with NSW Origin and Parramatta halfback, Racheal Pearson there to present the girls with the shield. Captain Shyla Willoughby thanked the organisers and the opposition in a double celebration on her birthday. Coach, Ms Murray, has praised the supportive team mentality shown by all the girls on the day, the Sacred Heart crest was worn with pride, honour and passion. Huge thanks to all the parents who travelled over to support the team.
