Mortimer Shield
Due to Covid restrictions St Anne’s only sent one girls and one boys team to the annual Mortimer Shield in Wagga on Thursday 29th October.
In very warm conditions the girls tag team went through undefeated for the day, however, again due to Covid restrictions there were no finals played. The girls played a very fast brand of Tag showing not only great individual brilliance and speed, but wonderful team work. Well done to the girls who were coached by Donna Fogarty and Lou Gaynor. They defeated Henschke 9 nil, Ashmont 7 nil, St Josephs Wagga 5 nil and in their final game they had a close game against Sacred Heart 5-4, and the player of the day was Cate Granleese.
The boys league team had a mixed day recording one win, one draw and three losses. They defeated Forest Hill 12 nil, drew with Junee North 4 all and were defeated by St Joseph’s Wagga 8 nil, Sturt/South Wagga 4 nil and Wagga Lutheran 4 nil, all very close games. The boys played a very good attacking game, throwing the ball around nicely, however, their defence let them down at times. The boys player of the day was Harry Kelly.
Well done to all players for the fantastic sportsmanship shown and thanks to Lou for driving the bus.
