NSW CCC Tennis Bathurst - Monday 1st September, 2025

On a freezing 0 degree and foggy Bathurst day, we experienced tennis in the morning that was cold, but thankfully the sun broke through and it ended up being a beautiful sunny day of 15 degrees.

The Girls Team consisting of Bonnie Dalgleish, Arielle Brantingham, Lullaby Lane and Georgia Lovegrove, came in ranked sixth and had to play against the third ranked, St. Mary’s, Gunnedah.

The girls were gallant but were unable to win a set and lost the match 6 sets to 0 (36/6 games). Georgia Lovegrove had a tight 6-4 singles set though after being up 4-2. We then went to a 5th/6th/7th/8th playoff against Mackillop College, Bathurst.   

It was a tight match with the girls going down 5 sets to 1 (33 games to 22). Arielle Brantingham and Bonnie Dalgleish improved all day and won their doubles set 6-3. They also won our first set of the day. The Plate Shield 7th v 8th spot was against Domremy College, Five Dock. The girls were dominant and came away with the victory 4 sets to 2 (30 games to 6). Strong performances from Arielle Brantingham (6/0 in both singles and doubles), Bonnie Dalgleish (6/2 singles and 6/0 doubles) and Lullaby Lane winning her maiden singles set 6/0 and doubles 6/1. A superb performance from the girls who came 7th overall in the state for Catholic schools.

Congratulations to all the players who represented the College with pride and great sportsmanship. It was an honour to be involved with such fine ambassadors.

Netball - South Coast Schools Cup Finals 

Our CCB netballers have had a fantastic day at the South Coast Schools Cup Final in week 6. Our 9/10 girls team finished in 3rd place overall, winning 4 games and losing a couple of closely contested games. Our 9/10 boys team came in runners up!!! They played some outstanding netball through their pool rounds and into the finals to make it to the grand final….In the dying seconds of their grand final when it looked like it was going to be a draw and head into extra time, the opposition were able to quickly score, to beat us by 1 goal. Both teams played with amazing sportsmanship all day and were impeccable representatives for the College. It was an absolute pleasure to be with them for this event.

A massive shoutout also needs to be given to our senior students who umpired to enable our teams to attend – Emily Borg, Pypar McCarthy and Kehlei Cowan. These seniors were wonderful role models, displaying the College’s values, assisting other schools, umpiring finals games and overall contributing to an extremely positive day.

Thank you to bus driver/photographer Louisa and coach Tiff for supporting the students today. Thank you to all those who helped at school with the organisation or covering lessons today so we could be with the teams – it is greatly appreciated!

Archdiocesan Basketball

On Wednesday 27 August, CCB competed in the 2025 Archdiocesan Basketball Championships in Canberra. We entered 6 teams this year - 7/8 boys and girls, 9/10 boys and girls and open boys and girls. Students have been attending regular training sessions throughout the term in preparation for game day. All teams played well through the day and showed great sportsmanship and team work. Unfortunately none of our teams progressed through the pool stages into the finals, but there were still many highlights and a few close games amongst the teams. I would like to thank all the students for their participation and hard work on the day.  

A big thanks to all our coaches who put in many hours of training and organistaion to get our teams ready for the day - Mr J Harding, Mr D Harding, Mrs Davis and Ms Blackmore. I would also like to thank the 2 Sports Coaching students Tarlaya Te-Kowhai and Georgia Lovegrove who did a fantastic job all day running the bench.
