It’s been a big couple of weeks as per usual at Newport in terms of Sport.
Zone Athletics Carnival
On Monday September 3, over 60 Newport students attended the Pittwater Zone Athletics Carnival at the Narrabeen Academy. The students all competed in wet and miserable conditions, however demonstrated excellent sportsmanship and Newport spirit at all times.
The cheering and encouraging each other helped Newport come equal first in the overall score with Mona Vale and win the Handicap score
To progress to the next level, students needed to finish 1st, 2nd or 3rd in the 100m final or 1st or 2nd in and other final event.
We had 20 Newport students achieve this and will compete at the Sydney North Carnival at Homebush on Monday 20 September.
Well done to all students who competed at the zone carnival, it is a big step up from a school carnival with many talented athletes competing.
Good luck to all the students at the Sydney North Carnival.
Thanks you to all the parents who helped coach the athletics team. It is truly appreciated and has made a difference.
State Rugby Union KO Champions
The Senior Boys’ Rugby Union Team travelled to Endeavour High School to compete in the Finals’ Day of the Brian Palmer Shield. In the first round they played Wellington PS. The boys put in a dominant display winning 57 nil.
In the final against Valentine PS Newport were off to a good start before Brodie H, was taken away in an ambulance after fracturing his humerus/ shoulder joint. The boys showed excellent composure, team spirit and sportsmanship to deal with this setback and run away winners 29 nil.
Well done to all the boys and the coaching staff, this is now the 12th time Newport has won the Rugby Union State Knockout Competition.
Softball Knockout
The senior Boys’ Softball KO team travelled to the Central Coast to play Wamberal PS in the Softball State KO Competition.
It was a tight game with both teams struggling to get home due to excellent fielding. Eventually Newport was able to hold on and win 9-2 in a much tighter game than the score reflected.
The boys will now play the winners of the North Coast region which may mean a road trip.
Well done boys!
Touch Football Knockout
The Senior Girls’ Touch Footy Team played Harbord PS in the State Touch Football Competition. The girls played strongly and were able to beat Harbord 4-1. The girls will now play Cherrybrook PS in the next round.
Well done girls and good luck!
