Basketballers bounce through with medals galore!

SOSUNS recently entered three teams comprising twenty athletes in total into the SOSUNS regional basketball competition.  Run by the wonderful Carla, Anthea and volunteers, the carnival was a great success with ten teams competing.  As well as Upper North Shore, athletes travelled from Port Macquarie, Central Coast, Sydney East and Roselands.

SOSUNS Challenge C team had a fantastic time competing at their first carnival and came away with a well deserved bronze medal.   Challenge A/B won silver after playing much more experience Port Macquarie team in the playoffs.  SOSUNS C grade team also won silver.

Athletes were justifiably very proud of the medals that they won.  Thank you to all of the volunteers who made this carnival possible and to Thornleigh Brickpit for hosting.

Hornsby PCYC Football Update

Everyone is really excited to be back and playing football and are training hard for the competition in Sydney South early next month.

We’ve welcomed a few new faces to football - welcome Jack and welcome back Joshua.  Bruce is doing a terrific job of blowing the whistle from the sidelines as he is still recovering from surgery.  James spectacularly missed a shot into an open goal during the game this week - to the anguish of fans watching.    The twins (Jack’s brothers) are whizzing around the court like maniacs but are still to get the better of Alex.

Training is on at Hornsby PCYC, 6pm-7pm on Wednesdays during school terms.  If you would like to join you are most welcome!  For more information contact Sabine Schreuder on 9456 6887.

SOSUNS Athletes Blitz Golf

SOSUNS athletes, Luke and Tom recently competed in the Central Coast Regional Golf competition.  They bravely played through extremely hot conditions to beat all before them.

Both athletes are off to Adelaide for the National Games in April and it looks like their training is right on course!!
