Cgs Football Triumphs At Finals

The football Grand Final day was a proud moment for CGS, with three teams competing for titles—more than any other club or school represented on the day. The Under 16s and the Seconds emerged victorious, displaying exceptional skill, teamwork, and determination.

Our U16s claimed a resounding 5-1 victory, with Josh Smith scoring a hat-trick and captain Charlie Hogg named Man of the Match. The Seconds fulfilled their preseason promise, securing a hard-fought 1-0 win over Weston. Harry Mackay led the team with an impressive performance, scoring the only goal and earning Man of the Match.

In a tough ‘derby’ final, our 1st XI Mixed team took an early lead but ultimately fell 3-1 to Marist in their fifth consecutive Grand Final appearance. Congratulations to all CGS teams for a fantastic season, and a special thank you to our coaches and supporters who made the day memorable.

Asc Girls Basketball Success

CGS delivered an outstanding performance at the ASC Girls Basketball competition. All three teams displayed impressive skill, competitiveness, and sportsmanship, rising to the challenge against tough competition.

Special recognition goes to the Year 9/10 team, who went undefeated and triumphed over Radford in the grand final to secure the shield. Congratulations to all the players for their hard work and a heartfelt thank you to our dedicated coaches for their support throughout the day.
