A good days Basketball


Our big sporting news of the week has been our Yr 7/8 Basketball team winning the Canterbury Primary Schools Basketball Tournament.  In a whole day event the boys played 5 pool games, winning all 5 before progressing to the quarterfinals where they dispatched a tall Merrin team 22-4. 

In the Semi-final a fired up St Thomas’ were beaten 26-16 as we marched on to the final.  We faced the only other unbeaten team of the tournament in Ashgrove Primary School.  We knew we needed a fast start as all the games were only 10 minute games.  

The final was a showcase of speed and skill with Sacred Heart Celtics bounding out to a huge 34-4 win, the largest win by any team in the tournament.  Congratulations to the team and a thank you to the parents who came down to support the team and to Edgar Dela Cruz for his assistance.
