Brisbane SHS v St Aidans
Brisbane State High School played St Aidan’s at Ambiwerra, with State High Open’s team

Ipswich Girls’ Grammar School v St Peters Lutheran College
It was a chilly morning in Ipswich for a 7am start where Ipswich Girls Grammar went up against very strong St Peters Lutheran College teams and fought hard to hold their ground where they could.
The Open game was close for two and a half quarters and then St Peters inched away for a nine-goal win.
The Ipswich Girls Grammar Opens squad is a group of young guns and will be a team to watch as they fight to catch momentum.
The 7A game was another close match where St Peters came from eight down in the 3rd quarter to tie the game.
St Peters coach Tracey Bruce will now be sharpening up her 7A crew for Round 2.
The Senior B game also went down to the wire with St Peters coming away with a 4-point win.
Moreton Bay College v St Hilda’s School
Despite some great play by St Hilda’s, all three Year 7 MBC teams were too strong on the day.
Moreton Bay College 7A’s had standout performances by Charlie Stickney and Gemma Fotea in goals, who both shot with incredible accuracy, Anastasia Batista and Emily McBrien, in the midcourt transitioned the ball with speed and precision, and Ashley Stariha and Annie Connell pulled is some fantastic intercepts in defence.
In the 7B’s Chloe White and Alannah Browning had great games, and the 7C’s put in a
fantastic all-round team effort.
Later games resulted in three more wins for the Moreton Bay College sides. The 10A team put in a consistent team effort.
Mia Monteret was dynamic in goal attack, and aptly supported Charlotte Hansen who contributed a personal best number of goals to the team total.
In the Opens match, Moreton Bay College had seven debutants, all who took the court and contributed.
Special mention to Amber Yeates who was unphased under the post shooting with great accuracy, Sarah Joyce who was a general in the centre court, and Pippa Letnic and Abbey Dobson who would not let anything past them in defence.
Somerville House v Brisbane Girls’ Grammar School
The Senior A game went right to the final whistle, with Somerville coming away with a 33-to-31-point win.
There were plenty of encouraging signs for both teams.
St Margaret’s Anglican Girls School v Clayfield College
A number of key St Margaret’s teams were on byes for this first round so it was a quieter day on the school’s home courts.
A noteworthy highlight included the St Margaret’s Senior B Team defeating Clayfield College 54 to 1, and the Clayfield College Senior A’s coming away with an opening round win 34 to 22.
