Term 3 was the Year 9’s turn to participate in Premier League sport. Unfortunately, this season was once again hampered by lockdowns. Before this happened, the teams were all selected, had numerous training sessions and did manage to play our first round against CRC North Keilor. This was a successful day for us with teams all representing our College well and coming away with some strong results.
The remainder of Year 9 premier league has sadly been cancelled this term. These students will have their next opportunity to participate in Premier League sport in Term 1 2022. Thank you to all involved this year.

On Tuesday the 3 August, the CRCCS ‘crocs’ played a tough and great team, CRC North Keilor. The first half was a letdown for CRCCS as not much impact happened on the score board, we were down by 5 goals in the first quarter, that is a whopping 30 points, and we were definitely asleep. Second quarter picked up goals started to come by as players started to attack the footy and win possession. CRCCS weren’t going to let North Keilor have an easy win. CRCCS started to pull their head in and as a result the team had its confidence back.
The second half was excellent, players scored bags of goals and the team backed each other like family. 5 goals behind became, 4 then 3. It then became challenging, both teams were nearly even as CRCCS got more possessions in the midfield and the forward line started to apply excruciating pressure. While Christian Catania scoring a bag of 4 GOALS and players scoring, it boosted our confidence to attack the footy harder than last time. Even though CRCCS lost by 22 points another quarter of solid footy would have brought home the victory. Overall, North Keilor was a challenging side, as they had more professional players, CRCCS did well the second half and because of this CRCCS were held with our head high and not let down.
