We had 20 SPSC boys winning medals or placing ribbons, an amazing achievement. In addition to these boys, congratulations must also go to Sidhansh Arramraj, Bailey Burrows, Rohan Malik, Alfred Minney and Edward Minney. Over the course of the winter season, with consistent attendance at both competitions and trainings, they have experienced extremely pleasing gains in both fitness and pace judgement. Thank you to Nicholas Edwards, Shrihan Mahinderkar, Kaspar Jongeneel and Gustaw Czechowicz for their reliable involvement across the season. On this occasion, thank you to the injured Kaspar for assisting with the officiating of our teams and to Peter Karidis (Junior School). With Peter agreeing to join our Middle Years squad, we were able to field a second team.
Thank you to our Coaching Staff of Zac Connell, Adam Goddard and Bailey Kerr. Their contributions throughout the season have been extremely valuable to all squad members and the program overall.
