Sports news and reminders

(1) Staff and Student Achievements

Congratulations to Ben Heath (Year 10 Bronze) who has recently departed for Georgia, USA, to join the Rabun Gap Eagles football program as a quarterback. Ben will be the first Australian to play quarterback at USA high school level, which is a huge achievement. Well done Ben. We look forward to hearing about your performances at this level.

If you have any student achievements, please email them to me via dwebb@mlmc.vic.edu.au

(2) Cross country training

It is time for students to start getting some kilometres into their legs for cross country season. Training will be on rain, hail or shine on Monday afternoons 3.30pm-4.30pm and Wednesday mornings 7.00am-8.00am (breakfast provided afterwards). Meet at the Doyle Centre for all sessions, all fitness levels and abilities welcome.

(3) EISM reminders

With the Winter seasons of Year 8, 9 and Senior EISM Sport either underway or about to begin, students are asked to please remember the following:

• Check the Sport plans, which are up on the Doyle Centre window at the beginning of every week and on the College Instagram story
• If you are unable to play in your team in a particular week, you need to let your coach know as early as possible
• Please be on time to the Doyle Centre on your sport day. All EISM teams need to leave at the start of lunch (occasionally earlier) to get to venues to play
• Your uniform needs to be 100% correct to ensure no forfeited games. Hockey, soccer and football players must wear long navy socks (available at the Doyle Centre) and mouthguards must be worn for hockey. NO CORRECT UNIFORM, NO GAME
• Live fixtures for EISM matches can be found online at eism.org. Click on ‘weekly sport’, then ‘fixtures and results’ then ‘Junior’ (Year 8 and 9) and ‘Senior’ fixtures. This is particularly important as refixturing occurs due to lockdowns.
