Open Diocesan Soccer Gala Day 2023

8th May, 2023

32 students from Years 9-12 travelled to Kempsey to represent SJRC in the annual Southern Diocesen Soccer Gala day. Following a more traditional start to Autumn and sunny skies, the students were genuinely buzzing and grateful for the opportunity to go and compete for SJRC. 

Both the boys and girls teams played some great soccer while also displaying great sportsmanship and fantastic SJRC College spirit. The boys played out 2 hard fought draws, a spirited loss to MacKillop and a convincing win against Newman. The girls went through undefeated; drawing their match to MacKillop and winning the remaining three matches against St Paul’s Kempsey, John Paul College and Newman.

Unfortunately, for and against resulted in the girls placing second having won the Southern Diocesan division for 5 years in a row. 

Congratulations on your efforts and thank you to Coaches Miss Kroon and Mr Berger.
