The Weekly Wrap
Cricket Wrap
Terrace played a total of five different schools in Round 4 of GPS Cricket, with Brisbane State High School (BSHS) being played in the GPS Fixture and supplementary matches against Nudgee College, Brisbane Grammar School, The Southport School and Padua College.
BSHS always provide the A-C Teams with strong opposition. Terrace were able to come away with the honours on the day winning 13 of 17 matches including a double bonus point win for the 1st XI.
Terrace were also able to get over the line in 12 of the 20 supplementary matches played by the majority of the program. Regardless of the result, it was a great challenge for some teams to play up one, and in some instances two divisions and compete at this higher standard in these matches. Particular praise must be given to the 5A team who travelled to TSS and were able to get a victory against the TSS 6B team.
Each week, the program recognises the individual efforts of players who take wickets and score runs, but on Saturday the difference in many of the matches was the small but meaningful efforts that often go unsung such as a diving save, hard running between wickets or excellent support from the sidelines. These ‘team first plays’ are what the Terrace Cricket culture is built on and we congratulate those boys who meet this standard week in and out.

Round 3 saw our teams spread across Brisbane for games against State High and supplementary games against BGS. After a tough round the previous weekend, most teams were able to bounce back, and Terrace won 14 games with 4 losses against State High.
The 7As were back in the winner’s circle, as they began to further their skills and develop their game. Charlie Vincenzi was awarded MVP for his consistent communication and composure which helped the team to a 2-0 win. The 8As found their rhythm and won comfortably 2-0, and Harry McKim performed well in his new role on court, attacking with aggression and consistency. The 9As once again found themselves in a tight third set decider against a formidable State High team. The 9As were able to come back from 14-12 down to win 16-14. Dane Ball performed well in his first game as setter and was able to set up strong offence.
Louis Hunter, in his new role as libero, helped his 10As cruise to a 2-0 win through excellent passing and defence. The 11As struggled to find momentum against a tough State High team, and narrowly went down in the third set. Bill Phan helped the 2nds to a 2-1 win with his loud communication and scramble play, saving points in crucial moments.
Finally, the 1st VI demonstrated their ability to bounce back and perform after the previous weekend’s loss. Zachary Hyams led the team in passing and defence, and was a standout attacking player in the 3-0 win. The win instilled confidence in the team ahead of a big match against Churchie this weekend. We look ahead to Round 4 as Terrace are back in the Terradome to take on Churchie, one of the strongest volleyball schools in GPS. All teams are encouraged to come and support your 1st VI in what will be a huge match.
