I would like to congratulate Lismore's St John's College Woodlawn netball team, who, this week, won the 24th annual Marist Netball Carnival. The team members were: Sarai Sandral, Georgia Davis, Emma Clark, Zoe Lawrence-Daly, Courteney Watson, Samantha Glasby, Mia McRae, Natasha Flanagan and Anna Kaeslin. They were managed by Fiona Fennamore and coached by Alisha Meredith. As well as winning the final, the team also received the fair play and sportsmanship trophy awarded by the umpires. Also, players Sarai Sandral and Zoe Lawrence-Daly, together with Lismore's Trinity Catholic College players Morley Cromwell and Ella Egan, were named in the All Australian Marist team. Congratulations to them all.

Last month, 22 schools competed in the New South Wales state school canoeing championships at Hanging Rock, west of Grafton. I would like to congratulate Casino High student Declan Ellis, 15, who outperformed older competitors to be named 2018 New South Wales All Schools and CHS Individual Champion. Casey Ellis set the fastest time in the C1 flatwater sprint, with Zentay Cormick taking out two first places in the SK1 downriver and sprint. Corbin Woods took two second places in the same events behind Casey. Callie Ellis also won two events, the K1 and Cl slaloms. Danny McGovern and Coen Powell added valuable points to the school tally, enabling Casino High School to finish second in the overall competition. Congratulations to the team and to teacher Mark Ellis for giving the students this wonderful opportunity.
