Sports Report: 6 September

A huge weekend of finals

By Ms Megan Fritsch, Director of Sport

Congratulations to all the Radford teams that either finished their winter season sports competitions on the weekend (see photos below) or have progressed through to the grand finals.

It was the final round for all our Under 8-Under 14 Junior League and NPL Football Teams, as well as our JPL Basketball Teams. We also had several netball, basketball and football teams fighting it out in the semi-final and preliminary finals.

Radford fields almost 100 winter sports teams and it has been wonderful to see the growth in our students, the challenges they have faced on the fields and courts, and the sense of community they have created amongst each team.

A special mention to the coaches, parent managers and all the supporters who have routinely attended our team games each weekend. Well done to all involved.

However, it is not over yet, with several teams through to the grand finals, which will be played this coming weekend – Saturday and Sunday, 9-10 September.

Radford sport would love to see as many Radford students, staff and supporters as possible come and cheer on the Radford teams in their grand finals!

School Sports ACT Basketball

By Mr Ryan Kinnane, Head of Basketball

Between August 19-25, three Radford College students, Madi Scholfield (Year 9), Poppy Smith (Year 8) and Ashley Ward (Year 6), represented the ACT at the Under 12/Under 16 School Sports Australia Basketball Championships held in Willetton, Western Australia.

Madi and Poppy’s U16 ACT team had a tough but enjoyable week. Madi scored well in each of the team’s six fixtures, while Poppy provided a strong presence in defence.

Ashley’s U12 ACT team concluded their tournament with a win over New South Wales. Ashley made the game-winning, three-point basket in the final moments of the fixture to put the ACT ahead by one.

Radford Basketball would like to congratulate Madi, Poppy and Ashley on their representative honours.
