Radford excels at ASC Basketball Tournament

Radford College showcased its talent and teamwork at the ASC Girls Basketball Tournament, with all three teams reaching the grand final stage.

The Years 7 and 8 team stole the spotlight and were crowned ASC champions after winning every game on the day.

Their strong defence, rebounding and unselfish play saw them sweep the competition and take home the trophy.

The Years 9 and 10 team went undefeated in pool play and delivered an impressive come-from-behind victory in the semi-finals. They narrowly missed out on the championship, finishing runners-up in a closely contested game.

The Year 11 and 12 team won three of their four pool games to secure a spot in the grand final, ultimately finishing as runners-up. Throughout the tournament, the team displayed remarkable resilience and determination.

Congratulations on a successful tournament!

Sporting achievement

Congratulations to Liam (Year 8) on his outstanding achievement in being named in the School Sport Australia U15 Boys Australian Merit Team. Liam was one of only two ACT players selected in the 18-man squad, a remarkable recognition of his talent and hard work.

Earlier this term, Liam had the opportunity to compete on home soil at the ACT Lyneham Hockey Centre in the School Sport Australia U15 Boys and Girls Hockey Championships, where he was a standout performer for the ACT boys team. His selection into the Merit Team has also secured him a place in the Hockey Australia National Pathway Program, providing access to increased weekly training sessions and development opportunities.

This is a fantastic achievement and we look forward to following Liam’s progress as he continues his hockey journey. Congratulations, Liam!
