Basketball
It was another fantastic weekend for Villa Basketball, with our teams recording strong wins across the board against St Peters on Saturday.
While it was wonderful to see the continued strength and development of our basketball program, what made me even prouder was the way our boys conducted themselves when some games became quite one-sided. Rather than focusing only on the scoreboard, our players continued to encourage their opposition and demonstrated great sportsmanship and respect. These are the moments that reflect what Villa Basketball is really about.
Next Saturday will also be a special one, with all of our Year 12 teams playing their final games in Goold Hall. We look forward to recognising our Year 12 players and seeing them take the court at home one final time.
Go Villa!
Mrs Sharon Casey, Basketball Coordinator
Rugby League
It has been another strong fortnight for Villanova Rugby League, with several teams continuing to build momentum as we approach the final stages of the AIC season.
A highlight of the weekend was the Year 5B Green v Year 5B Gold fixture, with both Villanova teams producing a highly competitive and entertaining game against one another. The match finished in a fitting 20–20 draw, with both teams displaying some great rugby and excellent sportsmanship throughout.
The Second XIII remain undefeated, continuing their outstanding season and putting together a fantastic run of performances.
We now look forward to two consecutive home rounds to finish the season. This week brings some important fixtures, with both the First XIII and 6A facing tough premiership-deciding games. The following week, Villanova will host St Patrick’s College in the final round of the AIC season, providing a great opportunity to finish the year strongly in front of our home supporters.
Congratulations to all players and coaches on another positive fortnight, and we look forward to a big finish to the season over the next two weeks.
Mr Wian Joubert, Rugby League Coordinator
Tennis
As we enter the final stages of the season, the Villanova Tennis Program continues to build momentum with just two rounds remaining before finals qualification is determined.
The past fortnight has seen some excellent performances across all age groups, with players demonstrating strong commitment at training and impressive resilience during competition. Pleasingly, seven Villanova teams currently sit within the top three positions on their respective ladders, placing them in a strong position heading into the final rounds of the season.
Beyond the results, it has been fantastic to see players continuing to develop their match play, tactical awareness, and teamwork. The depth of talent across the program has been evident each week, with many students embracing new challenges and contributing positively to their teams.
While our teams are in promising positions, the focus remains firmly on continued improvement and finishing the regular season strongly. Every match and every point will be important over the coming weeks as teams look to secure favourable finals positions.
Thank you to our players, coaches, team managers, and families for their ongoing support throughout the season. Your commitment and enthusiasm play a significant role in the success of the program. We wish all teams the best of luck for the final two rounds and look forward to an exciting conclusion to the 2026 season. Go Villa!
Mr Angus Sullivan, Tennis Coordinator
Track and Field
The Track & Field season continues to build momentum, with an outstanding number of Villanova athletes competing at recent practice meets. These competitions have provided valuable race and event experience, and it has been fantastic to see so many students achieving new personal best performances across a wide range of events.
The commitment shown by our athletes at training and competition is beginning to translate into excellent results. Across the squad, students are developing confidence, improving their technical skills, and demonstrating the benefits of consistent training. We encourage all athletes to continue taking advantage of upcoming practice meets as we build towards the AIC Track & Field Championships.
