On June 4 2007 the team made up of 12 students from Years
5 and 6 played host to Strathfield
South Public
School. Both teams came out hard and ready to
play, and it showed, as both teams displayed great skill and sportsmanship. There
was never much in it, and it was an arm wrestle until the very end.
With strong effort and great discipline, along with the
veteran guidance of Kindergarten teacher Joy
Smith, the Alexandria
Park Community
School team prevailed for
a hard-fought 9 to 6 win.
Special mention goes to Perri E’e and Greg Walford who
were named the Best & Fairest for their game play and leadership.
However, it was a great team effort with all members contributing
to the win. A big thanks goes out to the bat boy Kieran Mundine for his
supporting role.
Alexandria Park Community School now moves on to the next round
and hosts the strong team from Gymea Bay Public School, who advanced to the 4th
round, beating Caringbah North by a score of 23 to 4. The game will be played
in the coming weeks with the winner advancing to the finals of the Sydney
North/Sydney East Region.
In Cross Country news, a special mention of Rachael
Bayliss of Alexandria Park Community School who finished in the top 6 at the
South Sydney zone carnival, and was the only representative from Alexandria
Park Community School to advance and compete in the Sydney East district
carnival at Canterbury South Public School, where she put in another gallant
effort! Braving the rain for the red and green
