4 Chairpersons Annual Report 2007 It gives me great pleasure to present this annual report on behalf of the executive, diocesan and association coordinators and individual sport conveners. The scope of this report reflects another amazing year of sporting achievement for our catholic school students and staff in secondary schools across NSW. It is also a reflection of the incredible talent we have in our catholic schools and the pathways that are available in a wide variety of sports on a year to year basis. It is always rewarding to see students from our catholic secondary schools listed as members of NSW All School and Australian teams. The annual report that follows is a most detailed account of the many sporting events for the year It highlights the representative pathways and illustrates the complex yet incredible organisation that takes place to allow all these opportunities to come to fruition. There is no doubt that our success as an association is a result of the tremendous support at a local level from our participating schools, Principals and teachers. A great deal of thanks must go to the individual sports coordinators at each and every school in our system. They are at the coal face where these sporting opportunities are communicated and work tirelessly, often well outside their normal teaching duties. To the NSW CCC sports conveners, thank you for work in promoting and organising your sport. The expertise, motivation and passion you have in coordinating your sport and ensuring access into the All Schools arena is invaluable and you are all vital components to the success of CCC. To the Diocesan and Association representatives a job well done. Your role in administering and organising your schools is ongoing throughout the year and again vital to allow our pathways to function so effectively. Special mention to Sydney Combined Colleges (SCC) our new Association joining us for the first time this year. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank the members of the CCC executive Joshua Holmes, Linda Densmore, Robert Ellison and Paul Kennedy for the great work they have done throughout the year. This working committee has met regularly to improve our practices and discuss a wide variety of council issues, all in the aim of making CCC a more professional and effective association. This year we have devoted much of our time to the development of our constitution and operational guidelines which will serve as a consistent blueprint for our future. Our organisation has been fortunate to have a dedicated executive officer in Kym Skerritt. Kym has approached her role in a professional, friendly and efficient manner and is always there to support the needs of council members, Principals, schools, students and families. Along with this, Kym provides a vital link to both the Catholic Schools Coordinating Committee and to the NSW All Schools sporting structures. Congratulations on a great year and thank you Kym on behalf of all involved in catholic school sport. The diverse roles mentioned so far are all vital components to the successful operation of CCC. We all must continue to be aware that we are one part of a team, that the association caters for students from all over NSW in over 20 sports and remain open minded to the reality of existing resources that are available to us. Our website continued to develop as an up to date, reliable tool for use by schools, teachers, parents and students and we have promoted it as our major communication link. I must take this opportunity to again thank Adrian Brown at the Catholic Education Commission for his ongoing support of our website and I look forward to further developments in this area. Finally, my thanks to the members of the Catholic Sports Coordinating Committee. Your support and guidance of our CCC council and your communication to the Conference of Directors and Association of Catholic School Principals is very much appreciated. As we look ahead to secure our future it is imperative that our council members and enthusiastic teachers continue to receive support from their respective Principals and Diocesan Offices. To those who are leaving us thankyou for your contributions and good luck to you. I would like to specifically mention Helen Notley from Maitland-Newcastle who is retiring after years of long service to both her Diocese and CCC. Helen, you have been a great role model and sports administrator and we have greatly valued your input over the years. Best wishes for the future! Please take time to read this NSW Combined Catholic Colleges Annual Report for 2007, I am sure you will be impressed with the quality of our students and the structures we have in place.

18 EXECUTIVE OFFICER S REPORT 2007 As you will see in this report, this program has provided many opportunities for students and teachers at all levels of competitive sport. The announcement of Australian teams which include students who have been through our program remind us that what we do is worthwhile and a valuable part in our school curriculum. In my report I want to thank all those who have contributed to the success of NSW Combined Catholic Colleges. These groups are made up of people who are egar to contribute their talents and interests in a variety of ways. CSSA Catholic Secondary Schools Association have provided us with a structure that ensures the longevity of this program and provides workable guidelines. CSCC Catholic Sports Co-ordinating Committee establish those procedural guidelines to ensure consistency and efficiency. Special thanks go to Gary McSweeney, chairperson, for his support of the secondary program. Website our website continues to become a necessary and valuable source of communication. Many thanks to Adrian Brown from the Catholic Education Commission who manages to find time to maintain the website on our behalf. CSCC employees Ann-Marie Miranda, Executive Officer Primary who keeps alive the link between CCC and CPS and provides me with great support. Bev Vimpany, who provides the financial support that ensures payments are made and monitored and also provides wonderful support. I would like to extend my thanks to the Executive for their support and guidance. In particular the work they have done in preparing the Constitution and Operational Guidelines. Your leadership and vision is outstanding. The NSW Conveners work specifically with their sport ensuring rules of play and selections provide a level playing field and ensure all students are given a fair go. In particular, I would like to thank conveners who have retired, John Hassett Touch, Tony Kane Australian Football, John Emms Boys Cricket, Mark De Vries Boys Football and Andy Martin - Rugby. In most cases these people will still be involved as coaches, managers, selectors or coordinators of competitions. I would also like to thank their schools for providing the support for them to carry out their duties. Diocesan Sports Representatives will often work with conveners by supporting activities that are held in their local area. Often it is the local community s hospitality that provides the most memorable moments. Special mention must go to the rural areas that have a wonderful way to ensure all have a good time. We also acknowledge your efforts to ensure your students are given the opportunity to attend NSWCCC selections when at times cost and isolation are great barriers. Charlie Shalala, Robert Chapman and Wayne Gillard are no longer representing their groups but their contribution is duly noted and appreciated. We wish them well in their new appointments. School principals who support and value the representative sports program in what is a very busy schedule where representative sport is not a mandatory requirement. However, it is viewed as a way for those to use their god given talents. Many of whom we honour at the Blues Award Presentation. Sports Co-ordinators No structure is successful unless it has people working at the grass roots level. Your tireless efforts to be the first port of call to the student is necessary and appreciated. Parents who battle to ensure their children have a balance in their lives so that they may become adults that can share their lives in the future to make this a better world. Students thank you for sharing your talents in a gracious way. We pray your achievements continue and that you may share your talents will others. Please take time to look through this report and take note of the names and schools of these people. I have enjoyed working with all groups and look forward to Kym Skerritt Executive Officer Page 18

20 NSWCCC ANNUAL REPORT 2007 DIOCESE OF ARMIDALE The Diocese of Armidale has again competed successfully at all major CCC arnivals including Athletics, Cross Country, Touch Football, Soccer, Rugby Union and wimming. Individual sports such as Triathlon with great results at Allschools with Claire Sheridan (St Mary s Gunnedah), James Molony (McCarthy Tamworth) achieving great success in X- Country whilst Tegan Smith (McCarthy Tamworth) was prominent in Athletics and Hugh Williams(Holy Trinity Inverell) attended School Sport Australia Cross Country in Perth. The opportunity to be able to compete at this level is greatly appreciated by the parents, students and schools of the Armidale Diocese. Due to costs, distances to travel and time away from school, parents and students are becoming far more selective in the number of events that they participate in. The Armidale Diocese for the first time combined with the Bathurst Diocese in Soccer, Rugby Union and Touch Football to allow students a pathway to CCC selection trials. Linda Densmore and her colleagues from the Bathurst Diocese were most helpful and appreciative of the students efforts and we look forward to a productive working relationship in the future enabling students with opportunities to compete at CCC Level. On a Diocesan level the Schools competed in Diocesan Touch Football, Swimming, Cross Country and Athletic Carnivals.The Armidale Diocese also promoted Netball and Tennis competitions, Cochrane Cup Rugby League, Berg Shield Cricket, Golf, Debating, Chess and Soccer days. All of these competitions enabled students to compete in a round robin format, with multiple games on a single day in effect minimizing cost and time away from school. The one day format is endorsed by Principals and Sports Organisers of the Armidale Diocese and will be pursued as the preferred format in all competitions in The individual Sports Organisers of the Diocese, Tim Kennedy (St Mary's Gunnedah), Sean Baldwin ( St Philomena's Moree), Bernie Williams ( McCarthy Tamworth) and Greg Jones ( O'Connor Armidale) all must be acknowledged for their commitment in time and energy in organising School, Diocesan and CCC Sport. Also a special thankyou must go Mrs Raelee Balderston who stepped into the Diocesan Representative position for Term 1 this year. Her organization and dedication did not go unrecognised. Thankyou so much Raelee! Finally to Mr Paul McDougall (Principal McCarthy Catholic College Tamworth) who has been Chairman of the Armidale Diocesan Secondary Sports Council for the past ten years. Thank you for your commitment and support to Diocesan Sport. The Armidale Diocese looks forward to expanding and improving the sporting opportunities available to our students in 2008 and utilizing the pathways available to us. We acknowledge the contributions made to CCC Sport by Kym Skerritt, John Sparks and the many individual Sport Convenors who enable our students to access the many opportunities available to them.

They convene Diocesan events and take on Team Manager roles. Without the efforts of these teachers the students would be unable to continue on their selection pathway. Four staff members have taken this a step further this year. John Emms, La Salle, Lithgow was Combined Catholic Colleges Boys Cricket Convenor, Steven Hooper, Red Bend Catholic College, Forbes was the secretary of the Combined Catholic College Rugby League Committee, Nicole Casey from St John s College, Dubbo was Selector / Coach NSW Combined Catholic Colleges and Selector / Assistant Coach NSW All Schools with Girls Football and Peter Gaiter from St John s College in Dubbo was an Assistant Coach in Basketball. Diocesan Principals, the Diocesan Sports Council, the Combined Catholic Colleges Executive, the Blues Committee and the Executive Officers, Kym Skerritt and Ann-Marie Miranda, deserve special mention for their continued support, advice and efficiency in conducting the pathway programme.

25 ARCHDIOCESE OF CANBERRA AND GOULBURN NSWCCC ANNUAL REPORT 2007 There are nine secondary schools in the NSW sector of the Archdiocese of Canberra and Goulburn. Many of the schools are smaller central schools in isolated rural areas. To represent their school and archdiocese in sporting competitions not only provides students the opportunity to experience a higher level of competition but more importantly it encourages them to be active members of a much larger community of schools. Through the provision of a representative pathway, the Catholic Sports Coordinating Committee enables secondary students from the Archdiocese of Canberra and Goulburn to actively join the wider community of Catholic schools. I would like to take this opportunity to thank CSCC, the Combined Catholic Colleges Sports Association, the many carnival and trials convenors and CSCC executive Officer, Kym Skerritt for the support they have given to the staff and students from our archdiocese during 2007 Over 250 secondary students represented the Archdiocese of Canberra and Goulburn at CCC events with many students going on to represent in NSWCCC teams and 5 in NSW All School teams, a great advertisement for our pathways. Congratulations to Bart McPherson, Grace Harvey and Will Grant from Lumen Christi College in Pambula and Tegan Gale and William McNamara from Trinity College Goulburn who gained NSW All Schools representation. I would like to thank the many staff from schools throughout the Archdiocese who have assisted in convening trials and managing teams. Some of these staff members have been the backbone of representative sport for many years and continue to give dedicated service to our school communities. I would also like to welcome and thank the teachers who have recently joined the ranks of convenors and managers; your contribution is most appreciated. Finally, I would like to wish all of the CCC community the best for 2008 and I am looking forward to working with you all again as we provide a pathway for all students in Catholic Schools across NSW is a Pacific Schools Games year and I look forward to hosting many of you in the Nations Capital in December.

26 DIOCESE OF LISMORE NSWCCC ANNUAL REPORT 2007 The Diocese of Lismore Sports Program has continued to have many successful outcomes throughout this past year. I extend another sincere thank you and well done to our dedicated school sports coordinators as well as to the various carnival and trial conveners, and team managers. Collectively they have made immeasurable contributions to sport in their schools and in the diocese as a whole. Their commitment to, and concern for, providing the opportunities and pathways have enabled a very large number of students to benefit greatly from their positive experiences in sport. I wish also to express my thanks to parents for their practical support of their children and for their assistance, with other volunteers, at carnivals and trials. Indeed, a big thank you to anyone who contributed in any way to the success of school, diocesan and CCC sport with special appreciation extended to our principals and school executive for much needed support. Well done to all students who took part in sport at any level this year with special congratulations to those who went on to representative honours. The many highlights of 2007 have included: Another very impressive number of students from our secondary schools gaining selection into NSW CCC sides, with a select band of these making it into a NSW All Schools or Australian side. The continued high level performances of our Diocesan Swimming team as a whole as well as some outstanding individual efforts at CCC and beyond. The excellent result of the of the Lismore team at the CCC Athletics to finish prominently in the Diocesan/Association points table. This was indicative of some excellent performances by so many of our team members and was despite our greatly reduced team numbers. The unmistakable sense of team spirit that seems to be a part of so many of our diocesan teams despite the varied locations from which our team members come. This same team spirit is very noticeable amongst school teams as well. A great amount of credit goes to our excellent team managers and, of course, to the students themselves. The continued growth, interest and success in primary and secondary sport for children with disabilities (over 20 children Year 2 to 12 participated at diocesan level or above). A very special mention to Jacqueline Freney. After outstanding performances in school pathway swimming, Jacqueline competed at the U.S Open Paralympic Championships in December and took out five gold medals. This was truly exceptional especially as she was able to beat her idol and multi world record holder Jessica Long. Sam Petterson is another worthy of special mention. After winning at CCC and NSW All Schools Cross Country, Sam finished 4 th at School Sport Australia. The successful hosting of the 2007 CCC Under 19s Cricket Selection Trials at Sawtell.

27 DIOCESE OF MAITLAND NEWCASTLE SECONDARY SCHOOLS SPORTS ASSOCIATION NSWCCC ANNUAL REPORT has been my first year as the Diocesan Education/Sport Officer and I am amazed by, and proud of, the number of talented and dedicated athletes we have in our Diocese. Their ability to combine training, school and work commitments is inspirational. All of the students who represented our diocese as an individual or as a team member are to be commended not only for what they achieved in their sport, but also for the manner in which they took part. Their fine sportsmanship was acknowledged by many of their team managers. Some of the outstanding students have been acknowledged with Blues Awards in February this year. I would like to congratulate five of our students who received these Matthew Harris for athletics, Benjamin Larkin for cricket, Jacinta Aiken for triathlon, Matthew Delorraine for water polo and James McKee for tennis. This year James was selected in the NSW All School Tennis Squad as well as the Australian Team, a fantastic achievement. We had several hundred students represent our Diocese at the full range of CCC sports and over 40 of these students were selected in a NSWCCC team. As a past school sport coordinator of 7 years, I appreciate the enormous effort school sport coordinators put in, to give their students the opportunity to represent their school, diocese and state. I would like to thank our 11 school sport coordinators for the support they have given me during my first year. I would like to acknowledge our teachers who willingly assist as convenors, coaches, squad managers and officials. These opportunities for students only occur due to their hard work, expertise and time. Of course for staff to be available, we must thank all of our principals who support the teachers involvement. I would like to acknowledge the support and advice I have received from Kym Skerritt and the other Diocesan Sport Coordinators throughout the year. Your dedication to providing high quality sporting experiences is obvious, as is your teamwork approach to carnivals. I cannot let this opportunity pass by without acknowledging the dedication of Helen Notley who has been the Maitland Newcastle Diocesan Sport Officer and is now retiring. Helen has been an outstanding, committed and passionate advocate for sport in our diocese for over 25 years. She has been the backbone of representative sport as well as giving continual service to our school communities. The opportunities for students to follow their sporting dreams and goals at a school level, has been possible due to the many years of expert direction from her. She has been at the grass roots of sporting possibilities from school to diocesan to state level. It is an honour to be continuing on from such a well respected person.

28 PARRAMATTA DIOCESE SECONDARY SCHOOLS SPORTS COUNCIL NSWCCC ANNUAL REPORT 2007 I am pleased to be writing this report on the eve of exciting new developments within the Parramatta Diocese Secondary Schools Sports Council. It has already been announced that the position of Diocesan Sport Coordinator has evolved into a full time position, with more ancillary support from the CEO. I m sure that you would all agree that this is a positive step forward and that this will ensure that this sporting body will continue to be the dominant force that it is today. This year has been marked by a number of special performances and results. All three major carnivals ran extremely smooth, thanks to the help of many staff and students. As a result of the strong competition at each of these, all PDSSSC teams that then competed at the CCC championships were very strong and enormously successful. A number of standout performances from each are listed in the individual carnival reports later in this document. Our Representative teams again performed to a high level in the CCC carnivals. Our Touch teams travelled to Wagga for a very closely fought competition. Both the senior and junior girls teams were successful in becoming the CCC champions. The Hockey girls travelled north to Wyong where a number of them gained entry into the NSWCCC team. Both soccer teams again performed at a high level. In particular the girls teams who are the CCC champions for the second year in a row. Various other teams and individuals performed well and should be congratulated on their performances also. I am however, still not sure if we are fielding the strongest teams possible for these competition. I would like to see all schools sending students to the trials and not just the same ones all of the time. We are the biggest Diocese in NSW and should be more competitive than we are at present. If each school sent their top students in every sport, I feel that we would be achieving even better results. I would like to thank all of the Sport Coordinators, coaches, managers and team officials for the time they have spent in support of the PDSSSC and school sport in general. I am genuinely grateful for your assistance and the effort that you have given in making this sporting council the best that it can be. Yours in sport, Wayne Gillard PDSSSC Sport Coordinator Page 28

29 CHRISTIAN BROTHERS SPORTS ASSOCIATION NSWCCC ANNUAL REPORT 2007 CBSA has been a long term member of CCC. CBSA schools have competed in a variety of CCC events over the year. Our highlights included competing at the CCC swimming, athletics and cross country championships. CBSA also sent teams to various team sports such as touch football, football, rugby league and rugby. Additionally many students trialled for other sports as individuals. We had several students gain representation in CCC teams throughout the year. One student in particular, Daniel Bringolf gained a Blue award for his performance in golf. CBSA would like to offer it s thanks to all the sports convenors, diocesan representatives and the executive of the CCC organisation. We acknowledge the huge amount of work that goes on frequently unnoticed to make these opportunities available to our students. CBSA schools and principals are fully supportive of the pathway CCC offers to our students and committed to fulfilling our requirements to CCC. CBSA is looking forward to 2008 with much anticipation.

30 CATHOLIC GIRLS SECONDARY SCHOOLS SPORTS ASSOCIATION NSWCCC ANNUAL REPORT 2007 This year at the 10 th Blues Award Presentations 8 girls from CGSSSA Schools who use the CGSSSA as a pathway to higher levels of representation were recognised for their sporting prowess in and commitment to, their chosen sport. By implication these awards also acknowledge the wonderful opportunities our Association in combination with the NSWCCC offer the elite athletics within our schools. I trust that the staff responsible for sport within these schools, those who make these opportunities possible, are also affirmed for the contributions they make to the lives of these talented athletes. The following students sporting achievements in 2006 were recognised at the Blues Awards this year: Diving Maddie Meagher Loreto College, Kirribilli Outstanding Football Jessica Seaman Marist Sisters College, Woolwich Blue Softball Ashleigh Hansen St Ursula s, Kingsgrove Bar Swimming Monique Van Balen Domremy College, Five Dock Bar Volleyball Elisha Galic Santa Sabina College, Strathfield Bar Volleyball Stefanie Lalic Santa Sabina College, Strathfield Blue Water Polo Annabelle Carter St Clare s College, Waverley Blue Water Polo Nicole Saville St Scholastica s College, Glebe Bar During 2007 CGSSSA teams competed in Swimming, Diving, Athletics, Cross Country, Soccer and Touch additionally many individual students attended trials for and gained selection in a variety of other NSWCCC teams. As well as achieved representation at a higher level. This year the CGSSSA had 100 students selected in a NSWCCC team, 8 selected in a NSW All Schools Team and 4 selected in a School Sport Australia team. Representation in 2007 was as follows Sport Team Selected Sport Team Selected Cricket NSWCCC 1 Touch NSWCCC 3 Cross Country NSWCCC 15 Volleyball NSWCCC 14 Diving NSWCCC 4 Water Polo NSWCCC 14 Football NSWCCC 3 Football NSW All Schools 2 Hockey NSWCCC 3 Touch NSW All Schools 1 Netball NSWCCC 2 Volleyball NSW All Schools 1 Softball NSWCCC 1 Water Polo NSW All Schools 4 Swimming NSWCCC 39 Football School Sport Australia 1 Tennis NSWCCC 1 Water Polo School Sport Australia 3 The diversity of sporting talent in our schools was again very evident this year both in the number of sports in which students from the CGSSSA represented the NSWCCC but also in the spread on sports in with they did so. Our strength as an Association seemed to lie predominantly in 3 area this year these being Swimming, Water Polo and Volleyball. We also made a strong showing in Diving, Cross Country and Football. It is unfortunate that no NSWCCC Athletics Team is selected to compete at the NSW All Schools Championships. Although students can attend as individual athletes it is a shame that our talented Track and Field athletes do not have the honour of formally representing the Catholic School system at this level of competition Page 30

31 The CGSSSA has continued to encourage all sports staff members in the Association to visit the NSWCCC website and to direct their parents and student to do likewise. The continued development and use of this site has been beneficial to many involved. At an Association level we have not been able, as yet, to establish our own website but some investigation in this regard has occurred and it is my hope that in 2008 more work can be done in this area. Student opportunities, risk management, communication, administrative procedures and the refinement of the Constitution and By Laws were a focus this year. The electronic publication of Association documentation considerably improved the day to day running of the CGSSSA and assisted the Association in meeting compliance guidelines established by the CSCC. It is envisaged that after some additional evaluation of the Association s policies and procedures at the conclusion of 2007 that a comprehensive and up-to-date resource can again be provided to schools in We continue as an Association to be grateful to the CSCC for their support and guidance in fostering best practice at all levels of competition. To the many staff and students who have been involved in CGSSSA and NSWCCC sport in 2007 I trust you have enjoyed the experience and are cognisant of the great contribution you make to the sporting life of the greater Catholic School community.

It is important to recognise the contribution of the Sports coordinators from the Southern Sydney Diocese, your energy and commitment is the cornerstone in provided opportunity for the students to excel. Organisation of a diocesan team is a time consuming exercise, the efforts of the coaches are however well rewarded, when students are allowed to show their potential on the sporting field.

I would also like to thank Robert Chapman from De La Salle Caringbah for his leadership and contribution to the Southern Sydney Diocese over the past four years. His support to both coordinators and students assisted the diocese to grow and develop. The support of the school community is imperative to the success of students. I would like to thank all principals for the constant support and guidance shown to both coordinators and students. On a final note I would like to extend thanks to Kym Skerritt from SSCCC. Your professionalism, guidance and positive influence has provided our students the opportunity to participate and perform to their potential.

37 DIOCESE OF WOLLONGONG NSWCCC ANNUAL REPORT 2007 Schools from the Wollongong Diocese have enjoyed another great year of sporting activities through the Combined Catholic Colleges Sporting Association. The opportunities for our students to compete against other Dioceses and Associations from across NSW and the opportunity to access the All Schools arena has been greatly appreciated by students, parents and teachers of our school communities. Sport is such a valuable product in the life of our secondary students and we should never under estimate its importance. I would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge the work of the Catholic Sports Coordinating Committee, Diocesan/Association representatives and the individual Sports Conveners. Your efforts throughout the year have been outstanding and on behalf of the Wollongong Sports Council thank you for your contributions. To Kym Skerritt our Executive Officer for 2007, your work and support have again been inspirational and certainly the driving force behind the professionalism of the NSW CCC Sports Association. I have appreciated your professionalism, good nature and willingness to support all aspects of secondary sport. Thankyou! Wollongong had CCC Conveners in Anthony Kane (AFL), Kay Southall (Tennis) and Brett Moran coordinated the Southern Country CCC cricket trials. Wollongong hosted the CCC Basketball senior finals. Special mention to Tony Kane, who this year was very active in organising the NSW All Schools AFL here in Wollongong. The work of our conveners in promoting sport across NSW was first-class and certainly provided opportunities for increased student involvement. Over 400 secondary students represented the diocese at CCC events with 74 students from Wollongong going on to represent in NSW CCC teams, 9 in NSW All School teams and 1 reaching national honours, a great advertisement for our pathways. Wollongong diocese hosted the CCC Volleyball selections, the CCC tennis championships and selections and the Senior Basketball Final series.

All have been very supportive of sport and it s promotion to the Diocese. Our CEO website continued to be a valued resource with our sporting journal fully on line and downloadable. This year it featured all representative teams, results from major carnivals and links to the CCC, DET and School Sport Australia sites. You might like to pay us a visit at and navigate your way through the sport section. Our sports council has formed some close links with Wollongong University and now have students assisting at our carnivals and acting as officials at NSW CCC events. This has been a very productive relationship and one we hope to develop in the future. Finally to individual Sports Coordinators who are the cornerstone for all sporting activities, congratulations on an outstanding job. Your role is challenging, busy and often unrewarding at times, but again you have met the challenges put to you in fine style. Thankyou! On November 23 this year our Sports Council staged the 11 th Annual CDF Diocesan Sports Awards to recognise the outstanding achievements of both students and teachers from primary and secondary Schools. The evening was proudly sponsored by the Catholic Development Fund and attracted over 450 guests to St Mary Star of the Sea College. The evening was a fitting culmination to a busy sporting year and certainly a positive advertisement for the pathways and structures now available. Ex-socceroo, Paul Wade was our special guest speaker. The Vince Villa Trophy was awarded to Holy Spirit College as the Champion Secondary School across all sports. Wollongong Diocese looks forward to our continued involvement in Combined Catholic Colleges Sport.

39 ATHLETICS ANNUAL REPORT The 2007 NSWCCC Athletics was held on Friday 14 th September at Sydney Olympic Athletic Centre, Homebush Bay. The day of the carnival was bright and sunny with little wind, allowing athletes to perform to the best of their abilities. This year again, we used the Hytek Meetmanager recording program that interfaces with the photofinish system which is linked to the scoreboard. I would like to pass on my thanks to all those people looking after team selection who, worked to get the information to Kym in the required format to download into the program. Each year this process improves. Thank you to all team managers who ensured athletes moved quickly to their events. ANSW supplied officials to assist in running the carnival, I thank them. I would like to see each diocese encouraging teachers to undertake professional development in the area of officiating so that teachers could eventually take over some of the key positions as currently happens in the CHS system. (Contact with the ANSW office can be made to see how they can help facilitate officials courses.) The carnival again ran smoothly this year in relation to processing of results. Thank you to team managers who ensured athletes wore their number bibs appropriately. This assisted the photo finish area to operate more efficiently. Events for Athletes with a Disability This year we again included 2 events for athletes with a disability 100m and Long Jump. There were more competitors than last year, and most had their classification organised. Team managers need to send a copy of the official classification details to carnival convenor before the carnival. Most athletes were classified T/F 20, I m sure that there are other athletes with other classifications that may not be receiving the information, let s try to increase the opportunity for all our students. I would encourage Diocesan and Association Representatives to ensure that the information in the journal is distributed to these students allowing them time to have their classification issues organised. At this stage there is no ceiling on the number of competitors a team may enter. Thanks:- My heartfelt thanks goes to my committee- Thea Parle for all her work with the preparation for the presentations and for working in this area on the day; Liz Gale, Craig Beacroft and Stuart Guthrie for their energetic sorting of problems on the field of play during the carnival. Helen Wood for organising our efficient results personnel Wendy Breen for managing Meet Manager. The staff and officials of ANSW who work hard to ensure that our students have the best and fairest conditions to achieve to the best of their abilities, The staff at SOPAC who looked after us very well again this year. Sports Medicine Australia, (NSW branch) who appointed our sports trainer. A special thanks to the students from St Patrick s College, Sutherland and OLMC, Parramatta who assisted us throughout the day in a variety of vital positions. I would like to encourage more students to enter the NSW Allschools event, I would encourage all teachers to direct their highly placed athletes to the Athletics NSW website for the entry details for this carnival as it is individual entry. Also there were a number of outstanding results at the Australian All Schools Championships in December, it is heartening to see the athletes from our system doing well, however as entries are done by the individual, I am sure that there are many other students who should take the step of competing at this level.

There were just over 100 students, 55 from CCC and 51 from CIS, who took part in the trials and a final team of 22 and 5 emergencies were selected. None of the emergencies were brought into the starting 22 as a result of a an injury. From the final 22 students attending the NSW CHS Championships 13 students were from CCC schools and 9 from CIS schools. The quality of students attending the trials, like in 2007, was considerably high and again the CCC and CIS schools complemented each other extremely well in order to produce a squad that was extremely competitive at the NSW CHS All Schools Championships. The Championships were held this year in Wollongong and was hosted by NSWCCC North. Many thanks to Tony Kane (Convener), Scott Cummins and Kym Skerritt for putting on a great Carnival. NSW CCC North finished top of their pool and played off in the final. The team played extremely well and were defeated by our southern cousins NSW CCC South. All players selected were very good members of the team structure. They all shared the workload on the field, demonstrated courtesy, respect, sportsmanship and excellent behaviour at all times during the NSWCHS State Carnival. Their contribution to the team was always positive and in doing so was able to play football at the highest level. Seven of its players achieved representative honours. This was a great achievement from a zone that is continually growing and well represented across all Diocese of Sydney, Hunter and Wollongong. They were Tom Young, Sam Rowley, Trent Stubbs, James Brain, Nick Perry, Robert Lombardo James Webster. Rick Joyce Coach CCC/CIS Northern Zone Page 41

46 BASEBALL ANNUAL REPORT Another year and another Trot around the bases for NSWCCC Baseball. Perfect weather set the scene for a wonderful day of baseball as seven different Diocese took up the challenge to fly the flag for their region. Teams comprised of the Diocese s of Broken Bay, MCS, MCC, Southern Sydney, Parramatta, Wollonong and the return of Lismore! Talk about a keen Diocese. The team from Lismore gave up many different sporting opportunities to participate in this tournament and many more comforts as they travelled for 1000kms EACH WAY to provide their students with the opportunity of playing. A special congratulations to this Diocese for such an immense effort. With seven Diocese participating, each team was allocated two matches within the draw, with the top two teams participating in the final selection game. Preliminary results were quite close in most games with only Broken Bay standing out as offensive and defensive giants, knocking in twenty one runs and not allowing the opposition to trouble the scorers. Preliminary results: Broken Bay 9 def Parramatta 0, Lismore drew Wollongong 7-7, MCS def Southern Sydney 8-5, MCS drew Wollongong 3-3, Southern Sydney def Lismore 3-2, Broken Bay def MCC 12-0, Parramatta def MCC 8-1. The final selection game pitted Broken Bay against MCS. MCS jumped out to an early lead, and with a couple of errors from Broken Bay and some brilliant pitching from the MCS staff, managed to hold off the Boys from the Beach and ran out winners 5-4. This was a special win in itself, with MCS being hindered by not be allowed to use their best pitchers on the day due to Major League restrictions. Congratulations to all the coaches and players from each Diocese on your wonderful spirit, competitiveness, sportsmanship and enjoyment of all on the day. You all presented yourself with distinction. NSW CCC is developing a great culture with two ex-students and one current student assuming coaching roles with various teams and returning to their Field of Dreams where they once enjoyed success, and are now trying to help build that same success amongst the next era of Baseball players within the NSW CCC system. We are truly looking ahead to our next encounter with the NSW CHS and NSW CIS at the annual All Schools fixture in April. Through these selection games, we have composed a very talented team, which is evident by the quality of the players not in the 2007 squad. Thankyou to all our Coaches, players, scorers, parents and supporters and especially our umpires for making the 2007 carnival a grand experience for all. We encourage you all to attend these selections again in NSW Combined Catholic Colleges Team Michael Joshua Matthew Adam David Michael Aaron David James Byron Jake Jarryd James Jake Tim Luke Picken Goldsmith Reid O'Neill Krajancic Shipp Sookee Younis Vergos Aird Webster Sullivan Linger Turcato Atherton Wilkins St. Paul's HS St. Leo's College St. Augustine's College St. Paul's College Mater Maria Catholic College Holy Spirit College St. Dominic's College Parramatta Marist College Gilroy College Gilroy College All Saint's College De La Salle College McAuley Catholic College Trinity College St. Gregory's College Marist College Booragul Wahroonga Brookvale Manly Warriewood Bellambi Kingswood Parramatta Castle Hill Castle Hill Casula Revesby Grafton Lismore Campbelltown Eastwood All Schools Carnival Report Once again, the team representing NSW CCC Baseball acquitted themselves admirably when they took to the field in this years Tri Series against CHS and CIS. In the days first game, CCC pounced from the beginning, setting up a big winning margin with the bats connecting with the ball, resulting in a 14-1 defeat of the CIS. Having established such a command in that first game, CCC were extremely confident in their starting rotation of th pitchers and were in command for the first 4 innings. By the end of the 5, CHS held a narrow 2-1 lead. Scoring a run was proving not to be easy for either side and only some poor pitching command in these middle innings and a couple of late fielding errors allowed CHS to run away with a 7-1 win. Page 46

47 On a positive note, CCC out hit the CHS side 5-2, with the errors and walks only allowing the CHS side to score. Congratulations also must be given to James Linger, Tim Atherton, Luke Wilkins and Mick Shipp on their selection to the NSW Schoolboys team for School Sport Australia Results An excellent tournament for our NSW CCC representatives. James Linger completed all seven games and Tim Atherton six, with Luke Wilkins and Mick Shipp having limited opportunities due to their roles as pitcher and catcher respectively. The NSW team had an excellent tournament only dropping one game to Queensland, before narrowly losing the SSA Final to QLD also 3-1. The performances of Linger, Shipp and Atherton in pool games were rewarded with MVP Medals in three of the six games. An excellent result for NSW CCC Baseball. These fantastic results wre to become even more pleasing with Linger, Atherton and Wilkins all selected for the Australian Schoolboys tour of Canada in late Congratulations on another fantastic year. A final special thanks to Peter Webster (Head Coach) and Brendon Wallace (Selector) who assisted me in my role as Manager. Finally a big thanks to our Executive and especially Kym Skerritt who fielded no end of interesting phone calls and provided guidance and assistance in situations that required more help than should have been deemed necessary. I look forward to a competitive 2008! Scott Murray NSW CCC Baseball Convener Page 47

Twenty five talented girls attended the trial which was held over two x two hour sessions. The first session was skills, drills and learning offensive / defensive strategies to be used in scrimmages and games which were conducted in the second session. Eric Kivi was well organised for the trial and Dale Gleeson was very supportive and helpful throughout the sessions. All players had equal opportunity to show their abilities in the variety of drills and game situations through both training sessions. Training was held at Terrigal Stadium on Sunday 3/6/07, again for 2x2 hour sessions. This was a very valuable opportunity to Eric and Dale to develop some set routines for the girls to follow in both offence and defense. Team uniforms were distributed and orders for other CCC apparel were also taken.

Eric treated these games as a selection trial and gave all players fair court time to allow them to impress the selectors with their ability to play basketball. This may have affected the outcome of our second game, however as a selection trial we believed that all players deserved fair court time. Four CCC girls were selected in the NSW All Schools team to attend the School Sport Australia Championships held in Cairns in August. They were Fiona Sparks, Alex Duck, Ellie Gleeson and Kate Oliver. Eric Kivi is NSW Head Coach. Congratulations to all players and coaches on a job well done. Page 48

It was attended by 28 boys from Catholic schools across NSW. The trial ran from 10am-3pm and was a combination of simple drills/positional skills/live drills and scrimmages. The selection panel was made up of Simon Ghantous (Coach), Peter Gaiter (Assistant Coach)and Br Chris Peel (Manager). PRACTICE: A practice session was held at St Dominic's College on Sunday 3rd June from 9am-12 noon. This session was used to get the players "running together" and form some sort of structure for the All Schools tournament. Uniforms were distributed to the player. Students Selected in NSW All Schools Team Josh Black St Edward's College Gosford All Schools Carnival Report The first game was played against CIS. It was clear from the outset that our lack of size would be an issue. It was also evident early in the first quarter that the CIS squad had spent considerably more time together (especially apparent offensively). The CCC squad held the CIS team to a single digit lead through to the end of the 3rd quarter, however the lead ballooned in the 4th quarter and CIS won by 20 points. The second game immediately followed against CHS and again it was evident that a lack of size and structure would be a factor. CHS took an early lead and were never really challenged. It was a disappointing result with CCC losing by 25. Although it was an objective to win both games, they were treated as trials for players to show their skills and have a chance at the NSW All Schools team. It was attempted to give all players a fair amount of court time. Only one player from CCC was selected into the NSW All Schools team - Josh Black of St Edwards College, Gosford at the point guard position. Sean Albert of St Dominic's College, Kingswood was very close to selection and I was disappointed at his omission. Page 49

50 BASKETBALL REGIONAL TOURNAMENT ALBURY 2007 ANNUAL REPORT New teams to Albury for this year s tournament saw some significant differences to the finals make-up, after the usual suspects all ventured down to Albury in early May. Whilst old foes still did battle on some fronts, St Mary s Wollongong in the girls divisions and Edmund Rice Wollongong in the boys divisions added a new level of competition. The tournament winners were recognised after the following finals took place: 7/8 Girls 9/10 Girls 11/12 Girls 7/8 Boys 9/10 Boys 11/12 Boys Xavier Albury (38) Xavier Albury (40) Xavier Albury (64) Edmund Rice Wollongong (45) Edmund Rice Wollongong (49) Trinity Goulburn (47) def def def def def def St Mary s Wollongong (12) Trinity Goulburn (36) St Mary s Wollongong (38) Xavier Albury (26) Xavier Albury (27) St Francis Leeton (34) Whilst the results suggest some teams dominate the tournament, many round games remain highly competitive with a large number of close results over the weekend. Thanks to all the schools who continually support the carnival and we look forward to everybody revisiting Albury in 2008 to continue to the contest. Dale Gleeson Carnival Convener Page 50

Many thanks go to Troy Moran the Championships co manager and the Course Managers, Craig Beacroft, Tony Bye and Heath Borg. A special mention to Wendy Breen and Lance Smith for their tireless efforts in ensuring the new Meet Manager program worked efficiently. This year was the first time CCCSA Cross Country ran an AWD event. The event was a success.

59 DIVING ANNUAL REPORT NSWCCC Carnival Report The Combined Catholic Colleges Diving Competition was held at SOPA Homebush on Friday 30th March Thirty four competitors from nearly 20 NSW Catholic Schools competed in both springboard and platform events. It was great to see an increase in numbers in the younger age groups and I hope these competitors will continue so that all our age groups can enjoy strong competition in the future. It was also encouraging to see the number of platform competitors increase. I m sure with consistent training, there will be more next year. The results of the competition are posted below. 1st, 2nd and 3rd place getters in each event proceeded to the NSW All Schools Championships at SOPA on April 27, A great thank you must be given to the wonderful officials on the day without whom this competition could not run as smoothly.

The success of such carnivals is entirely dependent upon the entrants who represented their dioccese/association with great distinction and pride culminating in a fantastic two days. The NSW Combined Catholic Colleges Sports Association is extremely fortunate to have a venue such as Valentine Park with brilliant facilities such as lighting and beautifully manicured playing fields. This opportunity is only brought about by the generosity of Soccer NSW who sponsors the selection carnival. On behalf of NSWCCC and all the diocesan representatives a sincere thanks for your support. After a total of 30 matches involving 12 teams, Southern Sydney were victorious defeating the Parramatta Diocese in the final while Wollongong defeated MCS to finish in 3rd place. Students Selected in NSW All Schools Team Simon Ryan Andrew Bazi All Schools Carnival Report Patrician Brothers College Marcellin College Blacktown Randwick The NSWCCC Boys state team acquitted themselves strongly at the All Schools Championships in The large amount of rain that Sydney received during late June made it extremely difficult to prepare team effectively due to lack of facilities available due to the weather. Having a revised programme as a result of the weather NSWCCC had to play two games in one day. In the first game against CHS (2) the boys drew 2 All while in the second game against CHS (1) they lost 0-2. Unfortunately the score line in the second game does not reflect the fact the boys were forced to play two games within hours of one another on a heavy, water logged pitch. All members of the team should be commended for the way they represented the NSWCCC with great pride and distinction regardless of the obstacles they faced. Thank you to David Mamo, Michael Ronchetti and Vince Colagiuri for your professionalism and diligence in preparing the team for the NSW All Schools Championship. The NSWCCC are extremely fortunate to have such dedicated teachersindividuals. John Carnabuci NSWCCC Boys Football (Soccer) Convener Page 61

Players traveled from all over NSW representing their Diocese in a championship that demonstrated a high level of skill, commitment and above all sportsmanship. The tournament and selection trial ran very smoothly thanks largely to the efforts of NSWCCC Manager Aaron Poll, NSWCCC Coach Nicole Casey and the cooperative nature of Managers and Coaches alike. The tournament itself was intense and indicative of the wealth of Girls football talent in NSW Catholic Schools. The two randomly picked pools were very eagerly contested with a high level of competition. Pool Winners Parramatta and Lismore advanced to the final whilst Pool Runners up Wollongong and CGSSSA battled it out in the 3rd vs 4th playoff. Both finals were evenly contested with Wollongong defeating CGSSSA to claim 3rd place. The final saw two very well organised teams in Lismore and Parramatta play in a very exciting game. Parramatta won the final 2-0 in what was a great battle, with Lismore throwing everything at Parramatta in the last few minutes by playing some very attacking football. Congratulations must be extended to Parramatta for winning the championship for the second year running and to Lismore for the spirited performances they showed over the twoday carnival. The selection of the NSWCCC squad was made difficult by the abundant talent on display. Selectors were present at each game and entered into many discussions with coaches and managers concerning the individual qualities of each girl. Selectors all agree that the squad chosen has a great balance of talent, age and experience. A shadow squad was also chosen. I offer many thanks to selectors Aaron Poll and Nicole Casey for their involvement in the selection process and their continued support of girls football in catholic schools. I believe the NSWCCC girls football squad will make a very good account of themselves at the upcoming NSW All Schools tournament. Finally I would like to once again thank all those who contributed to such a great carnival this year including all the players, manager and coaches along with all those involved in the carnival Aaron Poll, Nicole Casey, John Ossio and finally Kym Skerritt. I eagerly look forward to next year s carnival when we can again showcase and promote girls football from Catholic schools. Page 63

The girls contended with numerous last minute changes of venues and water logged pitches to register a performance of which they could be proud. The squad showed great skill, determination and patience over the two day carnival and must be commended for their efforts. The opening game of the carnival seen the girls draw 1-1 with CHS 2 after a very late change of venue. The girls could consider themselves unlucky to only come up with draw after dominating most of the game. The goal in particular was very well crafted with some slick build up work being rewarded with a fine team goal. The second day of the carnival seen the squad face the formidable CHS 1, side in the morning game. An evenly contested game seen the girls lose 1-0 after conceding an unlucky goal. Efforts to find an equaliser were made more difficult with the atrocious conditions stopping shots at goals on the goal line in deep puddles of water. The game was more like water polo game than a football game. The girls although be it a little wet and cold fronted up to their last game with CIS with the same committed attitude. The game ended in a 0-0 draw with the girls once again dominating the game from start to finish. The whole squad and coaching staff should be proud of their performance under very stressful conditions and are to be commended for their dedication and commitment under very trying conditions. Thanks and gratitude goes to Coach Nicole Casey and Manager Aaron Poll for their time and effort with the squad this year and to Michael Sloan who provided numerous photos of the two day carnival.

The ever consistent Daniel Bringolf won his first CCC title with a two shot victory in the stroke event firing one over par for the 27 holes. Local boy Jace Kelly finished 2nd with a host of players including last year's Allschools Champion Dimi Papadatos gaining the coveted invitations to the Allschools championship held at Muirfield. Others to join these three were Craig Boniface, Mitch Davis, Alex Katholos, Sam Newbrun, Daniel Skelton, Luke Gaegler, Guy Nardo, Nick Simpson, Patrick Wangsa, Luke Humphries and John Yim. With thick rough and little run many of the girls stuggled in the heavy conditions. Manly player Carly Beck showed her class to win the girls' CCC title for the first time. Runner -up was the talented Gateshead student Aliza Huff. Other girls to qualify were Stephanie Solia, Jenna Fitzgerald, Teagan Dunn and Wagga youngster Chistina AppletonSeymour. The Allschools Championship was held at Muirfield Golf Club in Sydney's Hills District. As last year's Australian representative Danny An missed the CCC event due to the Australian Amateur he was given a convener's invite to the event. Danny didn't disappoint as after rounds of he placed 2nd to the talented Alex Peade from Barrenjoey High School. The CCC team selected to travel to Eden includes Daniel Bringolf(3rd Allschools), Sam Newbrun(5th Allschools), Dimi Papadatos(11th Allschools) and Craig Boniface(17th Allschools). Danny An and Holy Cross Ryde surprise packet John Yim(8th Allschools) will also travel to Eden on special convener's invitations. The girls didn't fare as well at the Allschools Championships. Carly Beck(5TH), Teagan Dunn(9th), Jenna Fitzgerald(11th) and Aliza Huff(14th) will represent NSW CCC at Eden Gardens in June. The relative youth of the CCC girls' team augers well for the future with 3 players in year 9. The standout performance from any player at the championships was from Marsden High School student Jessica Noh winning the girls event by 13 strokes in an amazing 7 under par. Great golf! Students Selected in NSW All Schools Team Danny Daniel An Bringolf De La Salle College Casimir College Ashfield Marrickville All Schools Carnival Report NSW ALLSCHOOLS SELECTION TRIALS - EDEN GARDENS GOLF CLUB A rain-shortened NSWALLSCHOOLS selection trial was held in bleak, wet and chilly conditions at Eden Gardens Golf Club during the last week of term 2. Heavy rain made scoring difficult as the event was reduced to 36 holes with the planned final day a washout. Again our girls struggled in the wet conditions with the longer hitters advantaged by the lack of run on the course. After a dismal day 1 the CCC girls performed much better on day 2 with the team improving by a massive 29 shots. The damage was already done and with day 3 cancelled our girls were too far behind to force their way into the Allschools team. Jenna Fitzgerald carded an 82, Carly Beck and Aliza Huff improved with 80's and Broulee junior Teagan Dunn fired a very solid round of 79. The strong CCC boys team fared much better with the ever consistent Daniel Bringolf(71-74) and

67 Danny An(74-69) placing in the top 4 sealing Allschools selection. This is Danny's third NSWALLSCHOOLS Team whilst Daniel will be representing NSW for the first time. Craig Boniface, Dimi Papadatos, Sam Newbrun and John Yim were only a couple of shots behind and the final day's cancellation disappointingly dashed their chances of selection in the team to travel to Victoria in August. Once again the local hospitality was outstanding and despite the arctic conditions all students enjoyed themselves and to quote the Allschools convener "a bad day at golf is better than a good day at school"- a comment agreed upon by all students at the presentation. The School Sport Australia Championships were held at Mornington during the last week of August. CCC' two representatives faired very well withy Danny An placing 5th and Daniel Bringolf 18th after the 36 holes strokeplay event. Both boys played exceptionally well in the matchplay with Daniel winning 5 of 6 matches losing his only match 1 down. Danny An went through undefeated and as a result was named in the Australian merit team again this time with the honour of captain. Congratulations to both the boys.

Mardi Watts and Johanna Rowlands were named as Co-Captains. The tournament commenced on Tuesday, and since there were only four teams in the Under 16 division each team played the other teams twice. The girls went through undefeated, with ACT proving to be the toughest opposition. In the first round of matches the girls recorded three out of three wins (FTO 7-2, ACT 4-1 and Adrenaline Rush 4-1).However the match results were much closer in the second round with two wins( FTO 2-1 and Adrenaline Rush 5-3) and a 2-2 draw with ACT. This placed the girls first and ACT second. ACT had been using the tournament as trials for their representative side, so they had their best team against us for the final. After a very tight first half, ACT went to the break leading 1-0. However, soon after half time CCC was able to equalize the score line through a goal from Mardi. With less than a minute to go, and having consulted the rules for a drawn final, Abbey scored the winning goal. The final result (2-1) was a well deserved win to the girls from NSW CCC. Throughout the week the girls played some very entertaining hockey, linking up well together resulting in some excellent team goals. At all times they displayed good team spirit and were a credit to NSW CCC and their respective schools. A team of the tournament was selected from both age divisions (under 18 and under 16). Congratulations to Mardi Watts who was named in this team. Bridget Davis NSWCCC Girls Hockey Manager Page 76

Unfortunately due to weather conditions the game against ISA was cancelled which meant that the side s game against NSW Country 16s was going to be the player s only chance to impress selectors. The players played some fantastic rugby during that game pilling on a total score of Some exciting free flowing rugby was displayed and the NSWCCC side was defiantly the team that people were talking about.

Unfortunately the first round game against ISA was washed out so the players had one less game to impress the selectors. After copping a heavy defeat by CHS II's last year, we bounced back this year losing a close contest after leading them 14-0 early in the second half. Our second game against AICES saw us record a hard fought 28-5 victory. At this stage we had a couple of players being considered for the NSW teams with Nick White (St Gregory's Campbelltown) being selected in the NSW II's team that contested the Australian Championships in Canberra. The camp at Narrabeen again proved very popular and successful and no doubt coming together as a team is vital to building the teamwork that is necessary for us to be competititive at the championships. One recommendation for 2008 would be to hold the camp in the lead up to the ISA fixture, coming together on the Friday and then having a training session on the Thursday night prior to the following weeks games. This would allow us to have a good solid, physical session on the Friday prior to the ISA game on the Sunday. Presently coming together on the Thursday with a game on the Friday doesn't allow us to have such a physical session. The exising camp also clashes with MCS Rugby League finals and this year meant these players didn't get to camp until our training session was over (they played a final) and then they had to back up the next day and play the trial against CHS (there were about six players affected). Shifting the camp forward however may have an impact on the country players and where and with who (could be billeted out by other players) they would stay while the championships are on. My thanks are extended to both Kym Skerritt and Andy Martin for their support duing the championships. Knowing that Andy is resigning as CCC Convener I would especially like to thank him for his tireless efforts in gaining for the CCC, the recognition for rugby that it deserves. I have no doubt that CCC Rugby is so much stronger as a result of his efforts over the years and am so glad that in his final year, the team was able to give him a successful send off with strong performances at the championships.
