Issue 3 SJC News 2021

On Tuesday our St Joseph's boys took on St Patrick's College from Ballarat at GMHBA stadium as the curtain-raiser to Sacred Heart vs Loretto College to celebrate International Women's Day and gender equality. Joey's started well with Jack Sager kicking the first goal of the game, heading into quarter time with a 1 point lead. St Pat's clawed back in the second quarter to go up by a goal at half time. Unfortunately, throughout the game Joey's were unable to hold on and went into three quarter time still trailing to St Patrick's. In the last quarter, the boys fought hard but ended up conceding SJC 39 to SPC 71. The Joey's Boys showed plenty of promise for the upcoming season in their first hit-out for the year and relished in the chance to play on such a high quality ground.

The game finished with Sacred Heart winning by two goals. However, the combined scores of St Patrick's and Loretto allowed them to be the inaugural winner of the Respect Cup.
