The College is fielding three teams again this season. The<br />

(SAC 2003) and Carl Sullivan (SAC 2003). Along with<br />
the 2nd VI, they have won all games so far except for the<br />
Trinity fixture.<br />
The 3rds won their first game of the season beating<br />
Barker last round.<br />
Waterpolo<br />
Laurie Newton stepped down as MIC this season and was<br />
replaced by staff member Mr <strong>St</strong>eve Zolezzi. Mr Newton<br />
did a wonderful job in organising and promoting the sport<br />
in what is a tough CAS/GPS competition. The future of<br />
this sport looks very bright with so many outstanding young<br />
players in the school including brothers Mark Sindone (Year<br />
9), Paul Sindone (Year 8) and Michael De Gail (Year 8),<br />
all of whom are in the NSW Under 14 Team and all who<br />
played in last years 1st VII team.<br />
As mentioned a number of our players joined their<br />
swimming counterparts when they toured the United <strong>St</strong>ates<br />
last holidays on a combined Waterpolo/Swim Tour.<br />
Old Boys coaching this season include Sam Nolan<br />
(SAC 1999) and Peter De Gail (SAC 2002) (Opens),<br />
Todd Miller (SAC 2004) and Charles Edwards (SAC<br />
2005) (Under 16s) and Sam Gladman and Lionel Newton<br />
(both Year <strong>12</strong>s) (Under 14s).<br />
With one round to go in Term IV, both the 1sts and 2nds<br />
are presently undefeated and both teams are in tremendous<br />
form. They have defeated <strong>St</strong> Ignatius' College, Waverley<br />
College, Newington College, Knox Grammar (19-1in 1st<br />
VII) and Trinity Grammar so far.<br />
The 16s and 14s have done it tough with limited<br />
success but are improving all the time.<br />
New Groundsman<br />

Chris Millar had retired as groundsman after serving the<br />
College Oval so well for twenty two years. I am please<br />
to announce that our new man Paul Chalmers is up and<br />
running at working very hard to make the College Oval<br />
a real showpiece. Paul worked previously on Manly Oval<br />
which was considered one of the best cricket ovals under<br />
his care. Paul can be contacted on 9958 5118 but for<br />
