Congratulations Lilly!

Lilly Fisher has made it into the U23's NSW Volleyball Team and will be playing in the Australian Junior Volleyball Championships in South Australia. She will also be trying out for the U18 team, as that competition is on at a different time. Congratulations Lilly, and good luck with the U18s try-out.
NSWCCC Rugby League Trials
Congratulations to Zaden Nipperess (playing five-eight for Northern Country U15's) and Kyron Nipperess (playing fullback for the President’s Opens team) who both recently trialled for the NSWCCC Rugby League teams in St Mary's, Sydney. 
Zaden's team defeated Southern Country in their first game and went down to Parramatta in the second. They then won the playoff against the President’s team on Saturday. Kyron's President’s team had a tough weekend playing together from a combination of all the Diocese. Although games were lost, they both learned a lot from the experience.
