The Year 9 and 10 Boys Cricket Team displayed their skills on the field in some entertaining games last Wednesday. In the first game against Hume Grammar, the team delivered a solid performance with Hume Grammar scoring 2/99 off 9 overs. Their star batter led the charge with an impressive 79 runs. In reply, Sacred Heart put up a valiant effort but ultimately fell short in chasing down the total. Luke Cameron scored 46 and Lewis Bond contributed 24 as they batted through the innings, with the team finishing at 0/79 off their 9 overs.
In the second game, Sacred Heart continued their strong form with a solid batting performance, scoring 4/114 from 10 overs. Jett Liddicoat and Henry Bobetic stood out as batters, scoring 29 and 25 respectively. The highlight of the match was Ethan Raynor being 'Mankad' by an excited Craigieburn bowler. However, payback was swift as Ethan removed the bails to run out the same opposition player for a diamond duck. In response, Craigieburn finished with 5/72 from their 10 overs.
Students from Years 9 and 10 participated in the Intermediate Boys’ and Girls’ Volleyball on Wednesday 21 February. The first round took place at the YMCA Leisure Centre in Epping with both the boys and girls teams playing two games each. The girls unfortunately lost both games but were very competitive, winning a set in their second game.
The boys were fortunate to win one game against Edgars Creek Secondary College, but lost their second game. Both teams needed to win all games in order to progress to the next round.
