Marist Netball 2023

On Sunday June 18th, Catholic College Sale’s Marist Netball team will depart for Western Australia for the 27th Australian Marist Netball Carnival.

This year’s tournament will run from June 18-21 and will be hosted by Newman College, Churchlands (WA). This will be CCS’ first entry into this event since it was last hosted in Alice Springs in 2019, where the College finished third overall.

CCS will compete against 12 schools from around Australia, in round robin format across the first two days of competition. Wednesday June 21 will see the top four schools play off in semi-finals for a spot in the Grand Final. The team is made up of a strong group of Year 11 and 12 students, who are incredibly keen to head interstate to represent the College:

  • Isla McCarthy (Captain)
  • Kate van der Voort (Vice Captain)
  • Hannah Abdallah
  • Ciara Fitt
  • Ash McDonough
  • Scarlett Morris
  • Kate Ronchi
  • Milla Anderson
  • Lucy Jones
  • Millie Lamb

All team members play prominent roles in their respective Gippsland and North Gippsland league netball teams. Mrs Kirralee Carstairs and Miss Sarah Gardiner will coach the side, while Mr Jamie Murphy will act as Team Manager.

Team members have conducted fundraising in the lead up to the Carnival, selling raffle tickets and holding a BBQ on site at the College to assist with airfare and accommodation costs.

Thank you to the school community for their support of this team and thank you also to the following businesses for their contributions: Sporting Legends Sale, Carmody’s Tyre Service, Always Greener, Intersport Sale, Redd Catt, Collins Bookstore and Coles Supermarket.
