ACS Girls Cricket Competition
On the 28th October, students represented the College with great enthusiasm at the ACS Girls Cricket Competition held at Albert Park. With two teams entered, St Aloysius Gold and St Aloysius Blue, the day provided a fantastic opportunity for students to showcase their cricket skills, teamwork, and sportsmanship while competing against other ACS schools.
Both teams enjoyed a positive and successful day of competition, demonstrating excellent effort and commitment in all matches. Players supported one another throughout the tournament and represented the College with pride both on and off the field.
A special congratulations goes to the St Aloysius Blue team, who produced a series of strong performances to finish second in their pool. Despite narrowly missing out on a place in the Grand Final, the team should be incredibly proud of their achievements and the determination they displayed throughout the day.
The St Aloysius Gold team also competed strongly, embracing the challenges of the competition and contributing to an enjoyable and rewarding experience for all involved.
Thank you to all players for their positive attitude and outstanding representation of the College. Well done to all students on a fantastic day of cricket!
