U15 Girls Freshman – Canberra Girls Grammar 47 defeated Pymble Ladies College 41
Canberra Girls Grammar came back from a rough Day 1 to hold on to victory in a nail-biter. Even scoring from across the roster was just enough to hold off a determined Pymble Ladies College who were looking to secure their first win of the tournament. In the Men’s Championship Division Pool A, Ignatius Park from Queensland remained undefeated while Aquinas College managed to dominate Newington from start to finish to remain alive. Sydney Boys High and Lake Ginninderra College sit atop of pool B undefeated ahead of their big game today, which will determine the top team in the pool. In the women’s Championship Division, Box Hill lead Pool A looking down on the rest of their competition and Woodvale managed a strong victory over Cabra Dominican College who remain winless. In Pool B, another massive performance from Jasmine Forcadilla helped St Joseph’s Catholic College remain undefeated ahead of also undefeated John Paul College.
