Under 16 girls NRL rugby league gala day at Rogers Park Woy Woy was filled with memorable moments despite the challenges with weather (freezing) and a shortened schedule.
Starting the day with a skills session run by the NRL team must have been invigorating for the girls, helping them warm up and focus before their games.
Playing three games and securing a win despite one team forfeiting shows the resilience and skill of our girls team. It’s understandable that we all were disappointed with the early end to the day, but it’s great to see the girls enjoyed playing together and demonstrated teamwork on the field.
The support from Year 11 students from the Sports Coaching class, who assisted with warm-ups, coaching, and organisation, was invaluable. Their involvement highlights the positive impact of mentorship and peer support in sports.
Special recognition goes to Mr. Philpot, the dedicated team coach and college bus driver for the day, whose efforts contributed significantly to the success and smooth operation of the day. His commitment is truly commendable.
Overall, despite the challenges, it was a rewarding day filled with camaraderie, sportsmanship, and the joy of playing a beloved sport. Congratulations to all involved on a successful and memorable gala day!
