SPORTS REPORT: What a week in sport. Western Area Run‐ners Up for girls and boys water polo and 3rd place in Western Area for boys’ soft‐ball.
On Wednesday 13 March we travelled to Cowra to play in the Western Area water polo championships. The girls team con‐sisted of Brittney Smith, Tamara Lees, Paige Murphy, Abby Pittis, Alison Brown, Morgan Mobbs, Anna Hunter, Danika Phil‐lips, Shanai Butler and Maddie Harvey. We played a strong Cowra team in the West‐ern final and the score was 10 – 1. The Yabbies played extremely well and player’s player went to Paige Murphy.
The boys also made the Western final and this was an absolute cracker of a game. We were up 7 – 3 and Cowra fought back
PRINCIPAL’S REPORT: Congratulations to Mrs Debbie Blatch who has been appointed as our AP En‐gagement for 2013. The position is funded through our National Partner‐ships‐Low SES grant.

to tie the game. We went to first period of extra time and we both scored a goal, and then went to second period of extra time and both scored a goal. It then went down to penalty shootout and after the first round it was still all tied, Cowra won during the second shootout on the last penalty. The boy’s team consisted of Anaru Poihakena‐Jackson, Matthew Wykes, Jake Monk, Jordon Har‐vey, Cody McConnell, Jayden Cusack, Ethan Monk, Jordon Stubbs, Billy Kramer and Grant Iles who was also awarded players player. These 2 teams were outstanding and I was extremely proud of their efforts and the way they repre‐sented the school. Thanks to the parents who as‐sisted with transport.
On Thursday 14 March we travelled to Mudgee for the first time to contest the Western Area Softball trials. This was a great experience and the boys exceeded all expectations and came 3rd overall. We played Mudgee first and were de‐feated 15 – 6 which was fantastic for our first game. Second game we played Blayney the de‐
fending champs and were outclassed and fairly scared of the speed of the pitching and went down 12 – 7, the highlight of this game was Corey Furminger's amazing outfield catch. We then played a fun game against Orange High and the game was extremely close as it was tied for the first 2 innings with the highlight Josh Berney hitting a triple. We then drew Canobolas in the playoff for third and fourth and won the game 10 – 0. Jake Monk hit 2 home runs and Jordon Harvey hit 1 home run in this game.
The boys did extremely well and thoroughly en‐joyed a new game and challenge against larger schools. Mr. Rogers was an awesome coach and his hard work during training helped the boys to suc‐ceed. Thanks to Eddie Monk for driving and acting as first base coach. The team consisted of Jake Monk, Anaru Poihakena‐Jackson, Jordon Harvey, Josh Berney, Jordon Stubbs, Ethan Monk, Matthew Wykes, Grant Iles and Corey Furminger who was also voted players player. Well done to the Yeoval Yankees.
