2024 SPSSA WINTER CARNIVAL

Last Tuesday, 20^th August, 15 of our students represented Molesworth at the SPSSA 2024 Winter Carnival. We had students attend AFL, AFLW, netball and soccer.

I would like to thank our wonderful parents and carers who were able to transport their children and other students on the day!

I also received feedback from another school thanking Bernadette, Riley’s Mum, who coached the soccer team without notice so that the team could play on the day. Thank you Bernadette! Your knowledge and expertise in soccer coaching would have been invaluable to our students’ team.

Congratulations to Seth, Braiden, Ashley, Haley, Amber, Breeah, Violet, Kelsey, Lachlan, Riley, Darcy, Alex, Adam, Charlotte and Oaklahn. Fantastic achievement by all of you.

Below are some insights from each of the different sports:

AFLW – Amber

We travelled to the Geilston Bay Football Ovals. There were 6 teams and I was in the Robbins with Violet and Haley. Each team played 3 games. By the end of the day I nearly knew everyone! It was challenging when our team was losing but we tried harder! I would recommend putting your name forward to be nominated next year.

AFL – Seth

We played at Cadbury’s Oval. I was in the Derwent Saints, I knew some of the other kids because they are from New Norfolk. I used to play with them when I played for the New Norfolk Eagles. We played 3 games. It was cold but fun!

Soccer – Lachlan

Soccer played at Wentworth Park in Howrah. I was in the Derwent Storm team. We played a total of 6 games, it was too wet to play finals! Overall it was a stressful day - all the other teams had played together for a long time, our team only had 1 training session, but on the day we did come together. I got a bruised finger. It was challenging!

Netball – Oaklahn and Charlotte

Netball was played inside at the Creek Road Netball Centre. We played a total of 5 games. It was interesting! Our team found it challenging to work together, no one had played together as a team before, only some players played club netball. We were in team Yellow Warblers!
