1 July I Wet Weather Line Head of Sport and Activities Mr Dave Capra Spartans Rugby Carnival Over the holidays our Under 12A and Under 13A teams attended the inaugural Spartans Cup Rugby Carnival which was hosted by Ipswich Grammar School. Our Under 13 boys played against Ipswich Grammar A and B teams in what could be described as a character building experience. To our boys, credit against a much stronger opposition that continued to turn up for their mates, supporting each other, playing their best and playing good footy in patches. I was really proud of the grit shown by these boys in the face of a very dominant opposition and am confident that it was a good learning experience for the start of the season. Our Under 12 boys were a very different story! After beating Toowoomba Grammar School on Monday morning they were beaten convincingly by a very strong Gregory Terrace team. On Tuesday morning the boys played outstanding 15 man rugby against Ipswich Grammar School to defeat them and secure a place in the finals against Gregory Terrace. Off the back of a strong win against IGS, the boys came into the final and played from my point of view the best game of rugby that the team has played this season and defeated Gregory Terrace to claim the Cup. It was a great moment for the boys and with one win each for ATC and GT in the 12A team we are looking forward to a great third encounter olater in the term. Congratulations to Jonte Roberts and Charlie Neumann for captaining the boys to a great win and to the individual players who all put in outstanding performances, particular against IGS and GT. The two war cries following the game were amongst the best I have heard this year! Thanks to IGS for hosting and to GT in particular for two great games of rugby in particular. AFL Camp and Holiday Games On the holidays we held our first ever AFL Holiday Camp and by all reports it was a huge success. The camp featured a variety of AFL skill drills, games, kicking analysis and a video analysis session with former Brisbane Lions player and great club support, Anthony Corrie. Congratulations to Fiona Kearney, Chris Hoskin and Tim Sparkman in particular for a great camp. Whilst the younger teams enjoyed a few weeks off footy, our Under 12 and Under 13 teams played games on the last weekend of the holidays. Under 12 Blue and Green were valiant in defeat and provided many moments of positive footy which bodes well for the final 6 weeks of the competitive season before finals. The game of the round was the Under 13s game against traditional powerhouse Aspley Hornets. This same team defeated ATC Under 12 in the final last year, so the boys were keen to get one up on them this year. In a solid team performance in howling westerlies, our ATC boys proved too strong winning the game by 4 points. This victory has rocketed our boys to the second place in the division and a chance at the minor premiership. Well done lads! Rugby and Football vs Scots College Tomorrow (Friday 17 July) our 12A Rugby and 7A Football teams will be playing Scots College from Sydney. Scots are touring Brisbane and SE QLD and we look forward to welcoming them to ATC. Games will be played on Jack Bowers at 12.45pm followed by a BBQ for players. All spectators are welcome. State Selection Rugby League Congratulations to Ezra Mam who has been selected in the QLD Under 12 Rugby League team which will travel to Darwin to compete in the National Championships in August. This is an outstanding achievement and we look forward to hearing how the carnival goes! Warriors go Brach!

3 Rugby Union After a change in scheduling of draws for this weekend, we will be running a rugby skills clinic for all players. Like our Football Festival which launched our soccer season, this is a great opportunity to run a skills clinic to work on position specific and unit skills as well as our target areas of Catch and Pass, Track and Tackle, Dominant Ball Carry, Continuity, Attack, Defence, Unit Work and Game Sense.. All players are to be at ATC at 8.15am on Saturday morning wearing ATC rugby uniform with boots, mouthguard and a water bottle ready to train. We would also like boys to bring another shirt or jersey other than their ATC jersey so we can play games at the end if time permits. Parents are welcome to drop their sons off and collect them at 10.30am or to stay around to watch the boys train. Next Saturday we are looking forward to a great round of games against Nudgee College at Nudgee College to open our season.

4 AFL Admin and Integrity Officer Mrs Fiona Kearney Footy is back on after a well earned break. Both Youth and Junior teams have games this weekend. Excepting the Under 11 s who have a BYE. Over the holidays we held our first ATC AFL camp. 48 boys attended over 2 days and enjoyed a variety of activities including some athletic testing such as the vertical leap test, the beep test,as well as filming each boy kicking off right and left boot. We had the honour of Anthony Corrie (a former professional Australian Rules footballer with a 56 game AFL career ) visit and spend some times in analysing each boys kick, offering valuable feedback for each and every player. At all times the boys showed great enthusiasm for each and every activity, this included the feeding frenzy at lunch time. I would like to thank Chris Hoskin, Tim Sparkman and Ben Allen -Anken for their efforts in planning and conducting the camp. Thanks also to Matthew Snare and Shain Dunkinson who assisted over the two days. A final thanks goes to Justin Hoskin ( Nephew of Chris) for his guest appearance on the second day, a former Port Power rookie who spent much of his time with the boys and was a great role model of what they can aspire to if they stick at their football. Final thanks goes to our footballers who displayed respect for their coaches and a willingness to engage throughout the 2 days Results Last weekend the Youth teams returned to play. Both 12 Greens and 12 Blue showed great courage and determination but were unable to secure a win. The Under 13s however showed a return to form to defeat an upset Aspley. Wynnum def 12 Greens /1.0-6 Sherwood def 12 Blues / ATC def Aspley /3.2/20 Youth teams now have 5 more games left to play before the finals series begins. This is when it gets really exciting.

7 Aquatics Coordinator Mr Paul Jones COLD WEATHER COMMITMENT HEATED POOL NO PROBLEMS The cold weather has come out to greet us for the first week of term 3 swimming but I have been very impressed with the number of swimmers who have come out into the cold conditions to be involved in swimming for this term. The swimmers are busy preparing for the first meets of the year. We have a number of winter competitions during the next 8 weeks and then we will quickly move into the summer competition period. Term 3 is the time to start some swimming sessions if you are thinking of competing this summer. The Ambrose Treacy Swimming Club is operating and taking memberships throughout this term. If you are interested in joining the swimming club, contact us at aquatics@atc.qld.edu.au. There are pathways within swimming club for recreational and competitive swimmers. Hope to see you getting involved. The term 3 learn to swim program has started this week in our warm heated pool. There are still some vacancies in lessons. If you are interested in getting a head start on the summer rush, then contact us on aquatics@atc.qld.edu.au. ADULT SQUADS It is never too late to become a swimming adult. It is a great way to keep fit without the impact of other activities. We have programs to suit all levels of swimmers from tadpoles through to sharks. We cater for all standards of swimmers on Monday, Wednesday and Friday mornings at 9am. Come along and participate in a trial session and see how you go.
