where we faced Marist Brothers College, Kogarah. Our opponents took the lead in what proved to be a low scoring contest. However, our strong defence and transition scoring ensured we would progress to the semi-finals. A strong 40-28 victory ensured we entered the top four. Holy Spirit College, Belambi raced away to a strong lead and we weren’t able to recover. Their style of play, along with some extremely talented players were too much to handle and we bowed out of the competition to the eventual champions 23-41. Cody Wells, Matthew Marsters and Parker Robinson were outstanding throughout the tournament. Cody and Parker’s skill and desire to win were unparalleled when they took the court. Matthew Marsters was our biggest presence in the keyway and our top rebounder for the tournament. Credit also to our young players, Luke Marsters, Harry Bates and Jack Roberts, who were unphased by the bigger and older opposition. Every member of the squad played a pivotal role in both tournaments and should be congratulated on finishing as BBSSSA Champions and NSWCCC 3rd Place. Cody Wells was also selected in the NSWCCC Team to play in the State Titles against CIS and CHS.
