OCA Netball

Our Old Collegians Netball Club has started up again for 2022 with three teams. We are very excited to be back and we hope that there will be no more interruptions to the season.

Two teams, PLC-OCA Monty and PLC-OCA Majesty play on a Tuesday night at Oakleigh Recreation Centre. It is a fantastic indoor venue for a night of social netball.

Our founding team, PLC-OCA Melba also plays at 3.20pm every Saturday at Ashwood High School. We have welcomed some new faces to the team, including some from the Class of 2021 who didn’t want to stop playing netball after finishing in Year 12.

We are of course still looking for more people to join us, particularly on Saturday afternoons and Tuesday evenings. Whether you are new to netball or played in the past, it’s a fantastic way to stay in touch with old friends, and make some new ones along the way.

We are celebrating our 6th year of PLC OCA Netball this year and are all very proud of the community that we have built.

Kellet Tennis Cup

Team Old Collegian has taken out the historic 90th running of the Kellet Tennis Cup. In a closely fought match, Team OC took out the honours with their largest team in recent years. There was also a fantastic contingent of OC representatives in attendance including the President of the OCA, Ailsa Wilson (Watson 1978), as well as our very own PLC ‘ball girls’ and an enthusiastic student cheer squad. Huge congratulations to Ms Payne for being the amazing driving force behind this much-loved event and to Mrs Jan Dimmick (Colclough 1945) for being so integral to its ongoing success!
