Six of our students in Years 6 to 12 competed in this year’s Inter Schools Challenge on Sunday 16 February. This year’s event had record breaking numbers with over 300 players competing.
In the Primary School Division, Declan Newman and Liam O’Nuallain competed. Having one of the toughest and biggest divisions with 88 players, it would prove to be a challenge. The boys had one of the hardest pools, with some high-quality players finishing fourth in their pool. Still, a great achievement to have competed against some of the best players on the Coast.
Luke Shirley and Jack Newman competed in this year’s Middle School division for years 7 to 9. Jack and Luke have competed in this event many times and for the third time, they came out on top. Finishing first in their pool, they made it all the way to the finals to beat Trinity Lutheran College in a tight match, winning 6 to 5. Trinity has an extremely strong team, which makes it an outstanding accomplishment for these boys. Well done Jack and Luke!
In the Secondary School’s division, Marcus Ibsen and Maito Yamaguchi competed for Somerset. Also finishing first in their pool, they made it to the Semi Finals to face The Southport School for a spot in the final. Maito and Marcus competed extremely well, but narrowly lost to TSS, ending their run at this year’s Inter School Challenge.
Well done to all of our players at this year’s event and also thank you to the parents for assisting in getting players to and from the venue!
