2022 Primary Sport Round Up

Flying in the face of floods and lockdowns, St Margaret’s primary sports got off to a great start with the Andrews Cup swimming team bringing home the aggregate cup for the third consecutive year and combining it with a Springfield Cup relay victory for the second year in a row.

The primary club water polo season traversed Term 4, 2021, and Term 2, 2022, with the 12A team making it to the semi-finals. That same team went on to play in the Queensland States Water Polo Championships over the Easter holidays, placing third.

At the Andrews Cup tennis carnival, both the A and D grades were awarded first place, while the touch footballers enjoyed podium finishes in C grade (first), junior grade (second) and B Grade (third).

In May, the cross country team travelled to Toowoomba, putting in a fantastic effort to place second by just two points in the aggregate cup. They also took out the Noel McBride Open Relay.

Our light-footed and dexterous football players enjoyed great success in June, placing equal first in A grade, equal second in B Grade, and first in the junior grade.

Taking to the netball courts at Downey Park, St Margaret’s was victorious in the Andrews Cup Senior C and Junior B (St Margaret’s 1) divisions, second in the Senior D and Junior B (St Margaret’s 2) divisions, and third in the Senior Bs.

St Margaret’s primary fielded 13 teams in the Club Netball competition with two Year 5 teams competing in the finals with Team 19 claiming victory.

St Margaret’s athletics team travelled to QSAC in August and came away with a fourth placing overall, the best result for some years, with the 10 years age group finishing strongly in third place.

2022 was the second year of the Andrews Cup cricket competition, with the ranks of our junior cricketers growing. The B grade team was victorious and C grade placed fourth. Rounding out the year, our artistic gymnastics squad fielded seven teams on championship day, with podium finishes in the C1, C2 and D2 grades, three fourth places and a fifth place – an outstanding effort across all teams.

On the same day as the gymnasts were being artistic, our basketballers were putting on an athletic display at Coomera, fielding five teams across four grades with similarly impressive results, including a second placing in A grade, third in both B and D (St Margaret’s 2) grades and fourth in C and D (St Margaret’s 2) grades.

St Margaret’s is committed to providing our youngest students with the training, facilities, personnel, and opportunities to cultivate a love of sport and the foundations to excel to the best of their abilities in a fun, safe and supportive environment.
