Summer Old Bpys Sports Days
The LCOBA calendar year kicks off with the College vs Old Boys summer sports fixtures in the first two weeks of Term 1. A T20 cricket match was held on 30 January. Despite rain, a 16 over match was completed with Old Boys batting first to reach 117-5 in 16 overs.  Notable performances with the bat were: Sam Cassidy with a hard hitting 45no; Lovepreet Padda 27, and Sam Devescovi 10.  The 1st XI comfortably ran down the total reaching 118-6 in 13.4 overs for a 4-wicket win.  Notable Old Boy bowling performances were: Marcus Sisam 2-5; Harry Cassidy 1-10 and Finn Reid 1-13.  Thanks to: recent Old Boys returning to play; Hamish Hay and Charlie Sisam for overseeing proceedings; Rob Hay and Milarn Smith for organising the fixture.

In tennis, the following results were achieved in a first to nine games format: Jono Fall and Jackson Lambert beat Theo King and Ben Boere 9-3;  Andrew Shand and Andrew Ellingham beat Freddie Walker and Campbell Ellingham 9-2;  Steve Greer and Phil Mitchell beat Otis Hoggard and Wilbur Coates 9-3;  Howard Pedersen and Kim Cooper beat Cooper Ellingham and Max Gaddum 9-3. This produced a 4-0 win by a very strong Old Boys' tennis team. Thanks again to Rob Hay and to College Head of Tennis, Mr Greg Fall, for organising and hosting the fixture.

Boys Winter Sports Day

The annual Old Boys' Football match against our 1st XI saw 14 mostly recent leavers take to the field in a spirited game. The College came away with a 2-1 win.

Earlier in the month, the Patangata Gun Club hosted the Old Boys' Clay Target Shoot. This was a fantastic day out, with a great crowd of Old Boys, parents, and current students enjoying the competition. This time, the Old Boys took the honours 87-75
