Outram Red vs. Elmgrove Black-Semi Final

The Reds had their semi final last night and it took awhile but once the Reds hit their straps, they held Elmgrove off convincingly, coming away with a win. Ella W had a great game, defending and shooting well, showing she was a force to be reckoned with on the court! The Reds had patches of panic with them giving away easy ball to the opposition which we don’t want to see next week in the finals. The Reds will need to be convincing from the word go and keep their composure to win this game and be the top team for years 5/6 mixed miniball. Go the Reds! Player of the Day this week: Nathan Coldwell for shooting well under pressure and showing what great defence skills he has. Score: 31/21to Outram Reds

Outram Red vs. East taieri Navy

Another convincing win for the Reds. They started off a bit shaky but once they settled into their rhythm, they were off! The Reds showed great displays of teamwork and supporting each other. Defence was another noticeable feature and is a stand out signature of this team. Player of the Day this week: Nicholas McA for consistently great play on attack and defence and Malachi B for driving the ball to the basket in a controlled manner, scoring a few baskets in the process and strong defence. Score: 33/11to Outram Reds

Outram Volleyball Teams Dominate

Yesterday Outram entered its first Dunedin schools Volleyball tournament (1 boys team, 1 girls team). The teams were nervous going into their first games. After both teams winning their first matches easily the nerves soon turned into confidence! Both teams went through the tournament unbeaten, winning 6 games in a row! The highlight for the boys team was demolishing John McGlashan College 23-12. The highlight for the girls team was beating St Hildas College 18-4.
