Congratulations Tyler Cooper

Congratulations to Tyler Cooper (Year 10) who has been selected to play in the 2023 NSW Country U16 Boys State team at the National Football Youth Championships in October.

This is the second year in a row Tyler has been selected to represent Country NSW at the Championships. The tournament serves as a primary talent identification opportunity for NSW representative teams and the various FA National Teams. To play at this level is a chance very few players achieve and an opportunity to test themselves against the best players in their age group across Australia at a National level.

The National Youth Championships for Under 16’s this year will also be used as a talent identification for future Joey’s!

We wish Tyler all the best in October!

Years 7-9 AFL Sub Regional Competition

On Friday 4 August, Carroll College entered a Boys and Girls Team for the 2023 competition. After a late withdrawal from Moruya High, our students were reduced to one qualifying game against Narooma High.

The girls played the first game and with many of them not having played AFL before, it was a tough task against a side who have several representative players involved. In the first two quarters of the game, the girls tried hard and Narooma getting off to a flying start could have been very discouraging. To their credit, they continued trying their best and showed tremendous resolve to limit the scoring in the final two quarters. They were asked not to give up and they did exactly that. They did their best from start to finish. Well done!

The boy's team looked as though they had been together for years and they all played their role perfectly for a great team performance. Indi Follett was fantastic in the middle and kicked some wonderful goals. Jayden Sturgiss was excellent in defence and shut down many attacking raids, whilst Kodi Perkins played strong through the middle. There were many contributors to the final victory of 42 points to 20 and they should be proud of their efforts. This sees the boy's team now move on to the Regional Finals to be held in Ulladulla in three weeks time. Good luck!
