Softball
On Wednesday 21 May, the Senior Girls’ Softball Team competed in the SSAV Premier Schools Softball competition at Jells Park. To be eligible to compete as the EISM representative school, the Tintern team won the senior softball premiership in the recent season. Tintern was one of four schools competing along with St Margaret’s Berwick, Newhaven College and Caulfield Grammar.
In the first semi-final, Tintern played St Margaret’s Berwick. It was a tough match against a team that has played together for a number of years. Although we fielded well, unfortunately our batting was not as effective as usual, due to some strong pitching and fielding from the opposition. The final score was 16-0 to St Margaret’s Berwick.
Our second semi-final we played Newhaven College. The girls’ attitude was excellent, and we corrected some errors in our batting from the previous match and were able to win the match 18-3. Our pitching and fielding skills were also of a high standard which allowed us to get our fielding innings completed quickly.
Tintern Grammar finished 3rd overall.
Congratulations to the Senior Girls’ Softball Team.
Tintern shines at Volleyball Victoria 3-Day Schools Cup
We are proud to share the outstanding achievements of our Year 8 Girls and Senior Boys Teams at the recent Volleyball Victoria 3-Day Schools Cup. Across the 3-day tournament, our athletes played up to three matches per day, demonstrating exceptional teamwork, perseverance, and sportsmanship.
Our Senior Boys’ Team delivered a strong performance, narrowly missing out on a medal and finishing in 4th place after a tightly contested bronze medal match. Year 8 Girls’ Team 2 also competed with great spirit, placing 9th overall.
A special congratulations goes to the Year 8 Girls’ Team 1, who were crowned champions in the Division 2 category. An incredible achievement that reflects their dedication and growth throughout the season.
We would also like to recognise our Year 12 students – Alex Forbes, Jack Pringle, Ryan O’Callaghan and Tom Hutcheon, who represented Tintern in their final tournament. Their leadership and commitment have left a lasting legacy within our volleyball program.
Congratulations to all players and coaches involved. We are incredibly proud of your efforts and achievements.
