Saturday 7^th December, 4.30pm.  At the end of a 5-year campaign, the Tigerz - our Senior Girls Basketball team played their last game together in the finals of the U13 Miniball Basketball competition. Up against Holy Family Lindfield Shooting Stars, the Tigerz faced once again their most consistently tough opponents. To the roars of the Sacred Heart Crowd Tigerz took an early 6-4 lead through tremendous attacking pressure and powerful defence, which shut down the Star’s top player. At half time Tigerz were behind by just 1 point. The crowd saw drives, defence, spills and ripping worthy of full-priced NBA tickets! The second half saw a change of tactics with the Stars scoring several goals in rapid succession. This opened a gap the Stars held on to win 41-26. Tigerz had just played their best game ever –their proudest moment. See the two very happy teams together below.

 The Tigerz are: Charlotte Griebe; Amelie Lemieux; Isabella Livermore; Sabine Lozina; Scarlett Martyr; India O’Connor; Harriet Thompson; Kate Whitson and recent substitutes: Millie Bloomfield; Amelie Champ; and Grace Prince. Coaches: Brendan Mathes and Sasha Griebe.

Thanks to team parents, families and supporters and past coaches who sharpened the Tigerz claws over the years and helped organise their annual Primary Schools weekend away tournaments.
