he first game for the A cricket team was against Aquinas. We lost early wickets but then made 70 runs. Aquinas had a few small partnerships but they kept losing wickets at crucial times. We won the match by two runs. The second game was a bit one-sided. We put the pressure on the other team early and kept them to 36 runs. Our opening pair got our innings off to a good start and we won the game comfortably. Scotch batted first at their home ground and finished with an innings of 100 runs. It was going to be a hard total to chase. We didn’t start well but began to hit a few fours to improve our run-rate. It was a tough slog but we won by 10 runs. After five overs our match against Guildford seemed to be wrapped up due to some early wickets. But they fought on and made 37. When we came into bat we

shared the strike and many players played well. We finished on top. We went into the match against Hale with confidence as we had not lost a game. We batted first and made a modest total with Aden Fawcett hitting a few nicely placed shots. But we were loose with our bowling and a few Hale batsmen took advantage. That game brought us back down to earth. The Lightning Carnival was exciting. We played Indoor Cricket enabling each team to play one another. We adapted to the different format quickly and ended up winning five out of the six games played. All in all we had a terrific season, everyone had fun and improved their skills. Look out Mr Tobin!

Hockey T
his year Trinity primary school fielded three hockey teams. The A team was made up of mainly Year 7s and some Year 6s; they were coached by Mrs Main. The B team was made up of a combination of Year 7s and 6s; they were coached by Mr Maxfield. The C team was made up of Year 5s and were coached by Mrs Kelly.
In the A team some of the most satisfying games played we actually lost to the other teams, but we knew that we had played to our best and that everyone on the field gave one hundred percent. We Year 7s will continue our hockey in Year 8 next year and each of the younger players will step up to take our places.
The best part of the season was playing against the other PSA schools such as Aquinas, Scotch College, Christchurch, Wesley and Guildford Grammar. All three teams enjoyed many wins, some losses and even a couple of drawn games.
