Basketball Wrap

Terrace Basketball had a fantastic weekend in Round 4 of the GPS Basketball season against a very competitive Brisbane State High School as well as a host of supplementary matches. Although the program had its first game day loss of the season, as a program Terrace was able to provide strong and competitive matches for the majority of teams from the 7Fs through to the 11Fs. Playing State High is often difficult as team numbers don’t always match up, but the program is committed to sourcing as many competitive games as possible outside of the allocated round games. Terrace played extra matches against State High, Brisbane Boys College, Brisbane Grammar School, Nudgee College and The Southport School.  The program would like to thank the parent group in supporting these extra matches and their continued support of their sons' involvement in the Terrace Basketball program. 
 
Congratulations go to the Years 7 and 9 age groups who won the majority of their games on Saturday. Our teams outside of the A and B programs were exceptional, which highlights the depth of the Terrace Basketball program. Some great efforts with a number of teams defeating higher ranked sides throughout, pointing to some great camaraderie in the C and below squads. The 1st V recorded a tough loss on the weekend after leading in the early stages of the second quarter. The squad is eager to bounce back this weekend in a game that will define their season moving forward.
 
Although winning is the desired outcome each weekend, a tremendous amount can be learned from playing teams who are your equal or greater in ability. The lessons learnt from Round 4 will hold Terrace in good stead when it comes to this week’s games against GPS Basketball leaders, Anglican Church Grammar School. The program looks forward to seeing the Terrace boys compete this weekend and rise to the challenge, in what is a great opportunity to see where we are as a program. Players are encouraged to continue to work hard, stay humble and be resilient as we approach a tough round this weekend.
 

Rugby Wrap

Terrace Rugby played host to several schools on Saturday including The Southport School, Downlands College, Brisbane Boys College, Churchie, Nudgee College and Brisbane State High School. To host so many schools requires a huge amount of support, so thank you to all involved for making the day the success it was.

Refereeing

Once again, I must thank our referees for their efforts each weekend. This week a special mention to our parent referees, Mr Danny Boyle, Mr Luke Simpson and Mrs Andrea Andersen who are always willing to referee games each weekend. 

Confidence in contact 

Our confidence in contact program continues to be a non-negotiable aspect of our training each week.  Much of our contact work is done on either on Monday or Tuesday and it is vital that all boys within the program continue to attend training to cover off on this important safety component. Once again, I must stress that training is not optional, so if your son is unable to make training, he is required to let his age group coordinator know. 

Game Day program

The Home Game Day program is a production of the Rugby Supporters' Group. A big thank you to Lou Condon and our friends from CPX printing for the work they do in putting the program together each weekend. Please ensure you collect one from the merchandise tent at our next home game.

Representative Rugby

Congratulations to the following boys who represented Metropolitan North teams at the recent Under 15 State Carnival: Will Hancock, Josiah Harrison-Leaunoa, Joseph Liddy, Mitch McGeever and Angus Munn.

Team Man award 

A weekly Terrace Team Man is selected by the coaching staff during the GPS season. This is in recognition of any player who makes an outstanding contribution to their team both at training and in a game.
