Bill Turner Cup

Our Bill Turner Soccer team is on fire! The Stella team played their round four match of the Bill Turner Trophy against Pymble Ladies College on Friday 7 June. It was their toughest match so far in the competition, against a strong Pymble team who have had a great deal of success in this tournament in the past. We were down 1 – 0 at half time, but had a strong second half, coming back to win the game 3 – 1.

It was a fantastic effort from all players and they are very excited to have made the final 32 of the competition! We will play the area final in the coming weeks. Well done to all members of the squad!

NSW Touch Year 7/8 Gala Day

On Wednesday 12 June, the junior touch teams competed at the NSW Touch Metro South Championships in Bankstown. Stella had the largest number of teams at the event, with a team in all three pools.

All the Stella teams performed very well, winning games and improving as the day progressed. The Stella 1 team was very unlucky to miss the final on a countback.

Well done to all players!

Hockey

Congratulations to our hockey team who will play in the Grand Final of the Mollie Dive Hockey Competition next week.

The Stella team has had a fantastic first season! They were undefeated all season and had a great 3 – 0 win over Barker in the semi final. Best of luck in the grand final!
