Basketball
The 2nd V had an incredible season
finishing as undefeated premiers.
Throughout the season, they also won
the ‘Peter Yeend Shield’ and ‘Newington
Cup’ for the first time in years. Needless
to say, this is amazing and the College
should be incredibly proud of the
accomplishments of the 2nd V basketball
team. This doesn’t detract from the whole
1st V and 2nd V squad, who showed great
passion, resilience and commitment to
the program, College and each other
throughout the season. There were many
highs and lows, but nothing wavered their
commitment. I would also like to pay
tribute to the whole squad for arriving
hours before their own game to support
any other teams that they could. This is
a rarity in any school or sport and the
gentlemen should be commended for
this. Lastly, I would like to congratulate
all undefeated teams throughout the
entire program. Your perseverance and
commitment to your sport and your
peers is second to none and it has been a
pleasure to watch the progress of all players
across all age groups and skill levels.
