Redbacks Winning Edge 

On the back of some great efforts in Cricket and Volleyball the Redbacks had the 

better of St. Columban’s winning 12 and losing 8. 

However OC suffered some severe collateral damage with St. Columban’s inflicting 

massive defeats on our First XI and Firsts Tennis teams. We hope they rebound 

with a vengeance tomorrow. 

�� OC Volleyball won all 5 rubbers with the 10s flirting with defeat along the 

way 

�� Three easy wins for OC Cricket with the Year 10s scrambling a fourth win in 

the last seconds of their clash 

�� Year 8 and 9 Basketball continued their winning streak but the 2nds blew 

their match with poor shooting 

�� A miserable day for OC Tennis except for the Firsts new stunning outfits (see 

photo) and the 2nds grabbing a nailbiter to retain top spot. 

Tomorrow the Redbacks take on Canterbury in their last home round before the 

Finals. Eight Redbacks teams are on top of their tables. 

Congratulations 

Aaron Barker Smith, Emily Bennett, James Cameron, James Copperthwaite, Kayla 

Hoey, Rachel Hukins, Shayna Jack, Natasha Lay, Josh Mavin, Charlton Otene, 

Keani Otene, Katelyn Sherrin and David Todd have been selected in the Met East 

team which will compete at State later in the month.

Firsts Basketball 

Ormiston College v St Columban’s 

The weekend saw a disappointing loss for the girls. 

The match started at what appeared to be a slow pace, 

the scoreboard kept ticking over and our zone defence 

looked solid. Our shooting percentage was high but 

we showed no enthusiasm to rebound or run fast 

breaks. Elise was injured during the game suffering 

from shin splints but she still won the tip off for us to 

score. Chane, Kayla and Nicole came to the game 

feeling ill while Danica was thinking about throwing up 

after a knock to the mouth during the game. I think all 

girls were a bit too panicky including myself and were 

too worried about making mistakes rather than 

performing our skills as a team. The tempo of the 

game increased in areas, especially when the girls 

started playing their game and not letting St 

Columban’s get any offensive boards. Coming into the 

fourth quarter defensive play was weak and we let St. 

Columban’s get too many shots up. All girls should be 

commended though, for being challenged mentally for 

the first time in the season as it was a close match for 

most of the game. Shout out to Mr McBride for trying 

to keep us calm and content during the game, 

reminding us to keep relaxed and play our game, not 

theirs. Hopefully in the coming games we all commit 

to our roles and enjoy ourselves more. 

Tyeka Close (Captain) 

Chane Geldenhuys was the outstanding player of the 

day well supported by Tyeka and Emily Holzberger. 

Mr McBride ( Coach) 

Seconds Basketball 

A close encounter was always going to be to case 

when Ormiston played against St Columban’s, as both 

teams were undefeated. Ormiston was on fire in the 

first quarter running away with a comfortable lead. 

The girls were told there was no way St Columban’s 

would give up and to keep up their defensive intensity, 

which they did brilliantly. The next three quarters 

became a nail biter as St Columban’s hit back with a 

couple of intercepts and easy layups. In the final few 

minutes of the game St Columban’s took the lead by a 

point, Ormiston then equalled their score and 

unfortunately the final result was a one point loss to St 

Columban’s 15 – 14. All the girls played an exceptional 

game, with Sophie top scoring and Jessie & Kirsty 

both scoring 4 points each. The girls are determined to 

win the final two games of the season to get them back 

into premiership contention. 

Judy Zemek (Coach) 


Year 10 Basketball 

We all knew coming up against St Columban’s was 

going to be our biggest physical and mental 

challenge yet. We travelled to St Columban’s with 

determination and our game faces on! This match 

was certainly a physical affair! In a 43-15 defeat, the 

only thing that was down was the score, our spirits 

and heads were held high and this defeat was taken 

as a few important lessons to be learnt and put into 

our future games. Every single person that took to 

the court contributed in one way or another and did 

not let the team down. With a modified strategy in 

the 4 th quarter, OC was able to overcome the 

pressure of a full court press and outscore their 

opponents. This match was COLS most competitive 

to date and that was witnessed by their rendition of 

their war cry at the end of the match. Mikayla Price 

had another outstanding game, considering that she 

was double marked throughout the match. Laura 

Holzberger played wonderfully in defence using her 

speed to harass the COLS runners and Ashleigh 

Peters stood firm (and took some big hits) in defence 

to frustrate the offensive raids. One thing that we did 

really well, was never giving in. Congratulations girls, 

for all the effort and your fantastic attitude towards 

training and games. 

Keep it up!

On Saturday, the Year 9 basketball girls took to the 

court hoping to come away with a win against the arch 

rivals, St Columban’s. We got off to a shaky start, 

allowing Columban’s to score the first basket. After 

quarter time pep talk from the coach, we were revved 

up and raring to put in a better effort and we started to 

get points on the board. Our communication on the 

court and from the bench lacked the usual 

encouragement making it difficult to get momentum. 

With the final score being 28–12 in our favour, we were 

all stoked to come away with the win against St 

Columban’s who were also undefeated coming into 

this game. In the end, our defense was the key to 

winning this game – our defensive pressure saw St 

Columban’s being forced to travel with the ball or 

losing control of the ball. Unfortunately, our shooting 

percentage was well down on recent efforts, so we 

were not able to capitalize on this possession like we 

have in previous TAS games. Jade Dunsmuir was 

again dominant under the basket. Congrats to player of 

the match, Pia Aston who had a strong game. Great 

game girls, and we look forward to our home game this 

weekend. 

Ellaine Grondin (Captain) 



Last week, the Year 8 girls basketball team played 

against St Columbians with a final score of 54 to 23, 

leaving us undefeated. The whole team are putting all 

their hard work from training into the game and 

hopefully we will present the same or more amount of 

effort into this weeks game against Canterbury. Our 

top three scorers for the day were both Natalie and 

Lana with 4 baskets, and myself with 16 baskets. 

Although the season is nearly over, the team is looking 

forward to two games before the finals. 

Emily Preston (Captain) 


Year 10 Volleyball 


The Year 10 Volleyball boys were up for a hard match 

against St Columban’s at Caboolture as we were 

missing two of our key players. The first set was 

tough and we went down 25-19. In the second set we 

were looking to improve on our efforts and we set out 

to win. The set reached St Columban’s 24 to 

Ormiston 22, and we used our last timeout. We 

managed to regain our strengths and clawed back to 

level the score 25-25. With great blocking by Connor 

Spence up at the net, St Columban’s were not able to 

get many spikes over, and we managed to win the 

second set 31-29. In the third set we were looking not 

to go down. We came out strong, taking an early 

lead with lots of good spiking by Connor Spence and 

Tristan Broodryk. We managed to take out the set 25- 

17, winning the match. Player of the match goes to 

Connor Spence. 

Jack Frampton (Captain) 



Friday’s match was set to be a thriller as two of the 

top teams battled head to head for the lead. St 

Columban’s was a tough opponent and the Redbacks 

knew that this game was vital to the retention of the 

premiership. St Columban’s opened the match with 

the serve, but in a brilliant display of blocking and 

spiking, OC were able to convincingly take the first 

set 25-13. The second set was tense though, as St 

Columban’s battled hard the set, showing off some 

of the best gameplay both teams can muster. Spikes 

here and there, fatal digs and lethal serves ended up 

with OC once again taking the long set 25-17. The 

pressure relieved, OC gave St Columban’s some 

grace, slacking a bit to allow the crippled opposition 

to take the final set 25-20. Tomorrow’s match against 

Canterbury will be a rematch of last year’s final. 

Quangvy Ho (Captain) 



We had another great win, this time against St 

Columban’s winning all three sets. OC got off to a 

slow start allowing St Columban’s to get a 5 point 

lead in the first set. Then the team just pulled 

themselves together and winning the set 25 - 17. We 

went a lot better in the second set keeping them on 

single digits and we started to serve better and more 

consistent using our three shot plays more, 25-8. In 

the third set we were using our three shot plays more 

consistently and we kept them on single digits again 

25-9. We played much, much better in the last two 

sets and we were proud of ourselves. Thanks to all 

the parents who drove the OC team out to the game 

and also thanks to Mr Griggs for coaching us. 

Matthew Smallwood (Captain)


First s Cricket 


The First boys made the long trip out to St Columban’s 

last Saturday, winning the toss, OC chose to bowl. 

Unfortunately, we had a poor start with the new ball, 

which resulted in two wicketless sessions. It wasn’t 

until after the second drinks that OC got their first 

breakthrough, but after that the wickets began to 

crumble with Mitch McDermott and Mitch Carrigan 

bowling well. In the end, St Columban’s were 

dismissed for 268. The run chase started poorly, losing 

an early wicket, placing OC on the back foot. Despite 

good efforts with the bat by Liam Ibbott and Dylan 

Grey, the team scored 63. This week the boys will have 

to bounce back for a chance in the finals. 

Mitchell Pratt (Captain) 

Year 10 Cricket 


OC travelled to St Columban’s to play what was to be 

the second game we had played this season due to 

forfeits and byes. After losing the toss a confident 

opposition sent us into bat. We batted strongly and 

consistently, with a good partnership of 64 runs from 

Jayden Cross and Sam Logan forming the basis of our 

total. However, our bottom order collapsed, leaving a 

total of 107 runs for us to defend. St Columban’s took 

to the field, but good bowling from Zac Waller-Brown, 

Duncan Fallon, Josh Watkins and Sam Logan kept St 

Columban’s 104 runs in a nail-biting finish. Man of the 

Match: Sam Logan for good batting and bowling. 

Sam Logan (Captain) 

Year 9 Cricket 


With a wet weekend washout last week the Year 9’s 

were still top of the table by four points. Playing St 

Columban’s looked like an easy victory and it turned 

out so by winning by 101 runs. The pitch was basically 

dirt and was a bowler’s paradise however, Kevin Penny 

(man of the match) scored an easy 76 runs 

unfortunately getting out. Other batters chipped in with 

a good partnership between Kevin and Calvin of over 

50 runs. Defending a huge total of 137 was easy with 

bowling St Columban’s out for 36 with 13 overs to go. 

Kevin was pick of the bowlers claiming 2 wickets, while 

John Osborne contributed with 2 wickets, and was on 

a hat-trick but missed out as the last wicket was taken 

in the next over. 

Man of the Match: Kevin Penny

Firsts Tennis 


The Firsts team played knowing full well that the 

competition would be tough the girls gave it their all. It 

was unfortunate we were unable to come away with a 

win; however the score did not at all reflect the games 

played. The score was 0 sets to 6, 16 games to 36 St 

Columbians favour. Bad luck girls, but don’t give up 

now. So give it your all tomorrow and next week and 

hopefully we will meet this team again in the final. 

After all we looked great anyway. 

Emma Cecchin (Captain) 

Second Tennis 


The Seconds Girls are still undefeated as we came out 

victorious with a nail-biting score of 28 games to 25, 

and 3 sets to 3. We had a bumpy start to the day, 

losing the first doubles match. Also, despite her efforts, 

Isabel lost her singles match, 6-2. However, the 

closeness of this match is not reflected in the overall 

score as every game ended in deuce. Later on, the 

results improved as Ellen won her singles match with 

an excellent score of 6-2. Olivia also did the team 

proud by winning both her singles and her doubles 

match with Carly. After these consistent positive 

results each week, we should hopefully remain in our 

top spot on the ladder. Our next match is at home, so 

any support would be greatly appreciated. 

Isabel Lopez-Roldan ( Captain) 

Year 10 Tennis 


The Year 10 team away but came away with a loss. 

However, we played well and have continued to 

improve every match, which was evident on Saturday. 

Sarah Prince, our MVP, won a game in her singles and 

2 games in her doubles with her partner, Amelia Diaz. 

We look forward to a continuing improvement in our 

future games.

Year 9 Tennis 


The Year 9 games ran behind schedule, but Kirsty 

got on the court but lost her game. Erin played well 

but lost 3-6. Kirsty and Erin played very well 

together, winning their doubles 6-2. Connie played 

her singles winning 6-4 in a very tight match. Connie 

Beacham is named most valuable player for her 

outstanding efforts in the very hot and humid 

conditions. The overall score was 4 sets to 2, 30 

games to 15 in St Columban’s favour. 

Kirsty Tait ( Captain) 

Year 8 Tennis 


The long drive to Caboolture proved almost too 

much for the Year 8 tennis girls this round with the 

teams suffering a significant loss to the stronger St 

Columban’s team. On a terribly hot day, the team 

had to sit around for some time before courts were 

ready to play on and this didn’t help the situation. 

Despite going down 6–0 and winning only 8 games 

in total for the day, the girls demonstrated some 

significant improvements in their skills and 

knowledge of the game. The additional training 

sessions are clearly paying off and the players and 

parents should be commended for their commitment 

to this important part of the program. 

MVP: Zoe Brechbuhler for being part of 5 out of 8 

games won on the day.

The weather held off to allow Round 5 of the JTAS season to be played. In a mixed bag of results, Ormiston won 

half of the ten games contested. Mrs Cullen’s Year 5 side won by 2 runs in a thrilling game. Sam Meaney played a 

memorable match for the 7 Red side scoring 19 runs with the willow and making two stumpings as wicketkeeper. 

Despite passing St John’s total after losing only one wicket, the 7 Blue side batted on and Tom Waller-Brown was 

the pick of the batsman scoring an unbeaten 35. 

Despite losing three players at the eleventh-hour to illness, borrowing one player from St Paul’s and securing the 

services of star recruit, 9 year old Chris Dempskey, the 7 Blue softball side won 21-15. The 6 Blue and Year 5 sides 

played each other in a close game with the 6 Blues winning by one run. 

This Saturday is the penultimate round of the cricket season. Fingers crossed for more fine weather. 

Cross Country Training – Kilometre Club 

Unfortunately, due to the weather the Kilometre Club was cancelled on Tuesday. The Kilometre Club provides 

students with an enjoyable and social opportunity to train with a goal of running as many laps around a 500m 

course as possible within 30 minutes. The total number of laps run by all students will be calculated and reported 

each week in the Redback. Individual laps will also be recorded and students will be encouraged to increase the 

number of laps they can run each week. 

Cross country training is open to any student in Years 4-7 interested in cross country running or building general 

fitness or fitness of another sport. 

Students interested in cross country training can collect a registration letter from Mr Pincott. 

Interhouse Cross Country and Triathlon 

Please note the Interhouse Cross Country and Triathlon will be run on Thursday 22 March. The event will occur in 

the morning with a detailed timetable of events and information about the carnival made available in next week’s 

Redback. 

Yours in Sport, 

Mr Jack Pincott
