Mortimer Shield

On Thursday last week, Year 5/6 went to Tumut for Mortimer Shield Gala Day.

The girls had one team and played three games of league tag. Our first game we won against Tumut Public School and (sadly) lost the other two games to Tumut and Adelong teams.

All in all, it was a great day, everyone had fun and had a fair go. Addison Fairall got ‘Best on Field’ for our team and Benny Bartlett got it for the boys.

The boys from St Joseph's Adelong joined with our team to make the team. So a big thank you for those boys from Adelong. The boys did rugby league tackle. We had 4 games. The first team we played was Gundagai  Public. We lost against them. Then we played against Tumut Public School. We won that game. Then after a break we played McAuley. In that game we lost. Then a little later we played Franklin which we won.

Special thanks to Leanne McDonnell for preparing and coaching the girls.  Thank you to Mrs Eccleston for assisting on the day.  Thank you to Mrs Wilson for coaching the boys on the day and to St Joseph’s mum Donna Robson for running the water. And a very special mention to Jake Bower one of our past students who joined us for the day from McAuley - it was lovely to have your personality and good humour on game day.
