Director of Sport | Mr Damian Wright

Last weekend saw a full round of games and fixtures when Terrace played host to ACGS at Tennyson and Spring Hill. Congratulations to all boys that have worked so hard this year and performed so well. On Saturday our visitors got the better of Terrace in both programs and the respective 1st teams.

Rugby

The day was shared at 17 wins a piece across the program with many Terrace teams suffering close defeats by only a handful of points. Head Coach Mr Tyron Mandrusiak has asked all boys to focus on finishing their games off strongly and being focused all game – “it is not over until the referee calls it over”

The 1st XV would identify their game as the one that got away – dominating possession and line breaks and having a better defensive record than their opposition, the Terrace boys again wasted numerous scoring opportunities allowing their opposition easy field position and eventually the game. It was a frustrating game for the boys, but they will put that behind them and focus on the next opportunity this weekend.

Basketball

The ACGS program is particularly strong and had the majority of victories on the day. Regardless of being on the wrong side of the win loss ratio, the performances and skill sets on display by the Terrace boys has improved significantly. It was a record number of teams again last weekend turning out for Terrace and the growth in this activity is to be commended.

The 1st V battled strongly all game but ACGS pulled away in the end, displaying better defence and regularly holding the Terrace offence out. It was a close game but in the end the opposition took their chances when they were presented. 

This weekend, both programs and 1st teams have the opportunity to return to the positive side of the ledger with their home games against Brisbane Grammar School. A positive frame of mind and a commitment to playing fast and positive in both activities will allow the skill sets to shine through. Boys need to remain committed to training and game day and see through the season. This weekend is Round 5 – basically half way through.

There is always a lot on in the life of a Terrace student and this weekend is no different with the QCMC being held at Villanova College. If you are involved in this event please inform your age group coordinator for Rugby or Mr Sam Mackinnon for Basketball as soon as possible. With early notice, teams and players can be moved and covered.

Good luck to all this weekend - Round 5 of the season. Rounds 6 through to 9 will be challenging with TSS away in Round 6 followed by the scheduled “Bye” round in Week 7, IGS at home in Round 8 and finishing off the season with TGS away in Round 9.
