110 PER CENT
TENNYSON EDITION

Mr Damian Wright
Welcome to Round 1 of GPS fixtures
for Terrace hosting
Brisbane Grammar School in
Rugby and Basketball.
The Basketball round will be
spread across five courts (four
venues) with BGS generously
providing two courts to allow all
boys from Years 5-12 the opportunity
of playing on Saturday
morning. It is a compressed
schedule to allow boys from
both communities the opportunity
to travel to Tennyson to
attend the opening of the Old
Boys’ Grandstand.
The Basketball program for 2014
has been working hard behind
the scenes - being heavily involved
in club fixtures and attending
training/skill sessions.
This is a program moving forward
with expert leadership
from Sam Mackinnon and good
coaching from many experienced
men off the court –the
shining lights being Matthew
Hamilton-Smith and Andrew
Latimer. Basketball is getting
stronger at Terrace and the
young men who will represent
the College this weekend deserve
recognition for their hard
work. The First V are a strong
team of very talented boys who
are looking for back-to-back victories
over BGS after winning
their fixtures in 2013.
The Rugby program is the largest
of all the sporting programs
at the College and encompasses
well over 750 boys. With that
many boys involved it is a
challenge every week to find
games, training fields, and especially
suitable coaches. The
task of steering this formidable
program is assigned to Tyron
Mandrusiak, one of nature’s
true gentlemen, who is by far
the most patient man I know in
dealing with the numerous and
varied elements of feedback he
receives daily.
It is appropriate to recognise the
new opportunities for many in
the Terrace Community upon
reflection of the outstanding
generosity of the BGS Community
when we were at our neediest
in 2011 following the floods.
BGS opened their doors and
their playing fields at Northgate
to allow Terrace a home game.
I wish all Terrace Gentlemen the
best of luck for the season ahead
– remembering to always compete
to you highest level and
at all times in the spirit of good
sportsmanship and humility.
