Round 7
It was the Battle of Spring Hill in Round 7 as Terrace played the highly fancied Brisbane Grammar School (BGS) in the majority of fixtures at both Northgate and Tennyson. The round was a very tight contest with a number of games being decided in the final over, epitomised by the 7B result ending in a thrilling tie. Terrace won the majority of games on the day, to remain undefeated in the rounds so far this season. However, the program would like to acknowledge and commend the BGS staff, coaches and players for a fantastic round of cricket, with an exceptionally high standard of cricket skill and execution under pressure on display.
The Years 5 and 8 age groups were most impressive as Terrace won all but one of the games played. While the 6Ds and 7 Red recorded wins over BGS. The 1st XI put together an impressive all-round performance to defeat BGS on their home ground, a task that is always difficult. Matt Gouveia (62) led with the bat before Jeremy White,Will Campbell and Mitch Bodimeade all played starring roles with the ball to secure a bonus point win, which left Terrace in first position alongside BBC after Round 7.
On Saturday evening, students, parents and families from the Terrace Cricket community gathered at Tennyson for the 2020 End of Season Celebration. Students from Years 10 and 12 who qualified for their ‘50 Game’ caps were presented, a justified recognition to those boys who have showed discipline, resilience, dedication and commitment to the program during their time at the College. Brisbane Heat Player Jack Prestwidge, GT 2014 was on hand to present the The Ron Oxenham Medal winners for 2020, awarded to the gentlemen who have personified the best qualities and values of a Terrace cricketer during their time in the program. Congratulation goes to Marindra Welgampola and William Campbell for receiving the honour on the evening. The program would like to thank the members of the Terrace Cricket Support Group who volunteered numerous hours to help with the preparations and running of the night. Special mentions to Mr Ben Slack and Mr Paul Little and a number of the Year 9 parent group, along with the countless others who helped on the night.

GPS Head of the River results
Saturday 14 March saw the conclusion of the 2020 Rowing season, with the 97th instalment of the GPS Head of the River Championships.
With some of the trickiest conditions to date, the fast tail breeze certainly tested the anxious rowers across all schools.
Overall, the day was unfortunately not Terrace’s with a number of results not going our way across a number of divisions, especially through Years 10 and 11. A number of results were decided by under a second which depicted the quality of the racing on the day.
In contrast, the Year 9 cohort stood up and recorded three victories from seven entries. This is a great sign for the coming years as this group is just starting their rowing journey. These results were further buoyed by the Senior group who are concluding their journey, with two places and a win.

Volleyball wrap
Terrace had a very successful weekend hosting Ipswich Grammar for Round 6 of the GPS season.
On the weekend the Terrace 1st VI hosted an athletic Ipswich Grammar team. The boys maintained their winning streak as they dismantled the opposition in a very clinical 3-0 win.
The program overall had 17 wins and four losses.
The team of the week was the 10Cs who won their first game of the season in thrilling fashion. They displayed their defensive capabilities and provided a serving masterclass to achieve a 2-0 win.
The Terrace Volleyball community would like to thank all the students, parents, coaches and staff for all of their hard work, dedication and early morning starts. Without your ongoing support the program would not be as successful as it has been this season.
