SPSSA WINTER CARNIVAL 2022
On Tuesday 23rd August, southern schools across Tasmanian participated in the SPSSA Winter Carnival for 2022! There were 5 sports on offer: AFL, AFLW, hockey, netball and tennis! Unfortunately, due to the weather and ground closures, soccer was cancelled.
In the lead up to the Winter Carnival day, Grade 5/6 students had to be nominated for a sport by their schools and attend trials. If successful at the trials, they would make the team for their region and attended training/s at other schools. Our region is made up of a total of 14 schools. 10 of our Molesworth students were chosen to represent our region at netball, AFL and soccer. A very incredible achievement! To those that went to trials and were not selected, we wish you all the best next year!
Our representatives were:
Netball – Myler, Kyeshia, Addiison and Palasa.
AFL – James and Nataniel.
Soccer – Ellis, Laurie, Mitchell.
Netball Report
We went to Creek Road netball centre. It was really cold at the start of the day, but we did a lot of running so were very warm by the end. It was very challenging especially against the white, red and blue teams. We played 5 games throughout the day. We came 6th place! We all got to meet some new friends while we were there. It was nice to play games with people we didn’t know. We all played fairly! It was nerve racking at first but we all had fun!

AFL Report
We played football at Brighton primary School oval and 3 games at Cadbury’s oval. The games were 40 minutes long! We didn’t know anyone else there but by the end of the day we all became friends. It was really fun but very tiring. It was very cold! We got a few taps and a lot of marks!
