Our Grounds and Maintenance teams play an important role in keeping winter sport running each week.

From preparing grounds and pitches to managing the many practical details that sit behind each fixture, their work often happens quietly behind the scenes. That effort continued throughout Winter Intercol, with venues across the School prepared for the 46 fixtures contested over four days.

After a particularly wet and cold winter, extra work was needed to ensure our grounds were ready for play and presented at their best.

Thank you to everyone involved for the care and effort that goes into supporting our winter sport season and Winter Intercol.

The 1st XVIII put up a strong performance in the 155th Football Intercol.

The game remained in the balance for much of the contest, with both teams attacking the football with fierce intent. PAC eventually gained the upper hand and finished strongly to secure a well-deserved win.

Congratulations to our boys on their efforts, and thank you to all players, staff, coaches, families and supporters who have contributed to the 2026 SPSC Football program.

In another Basketball Intercol classic, the 62nd meeting between SPSC and PAC went down to the wire.

The two teams traded baskets all night in front of a deafening sea of Blue and Red. PAC hit some big shots in the dying minutes to secure a narrow 50–46 win but our boys should be so proud, leaving everything on the court last night.

Thank you to everyone who came out to support. It was an atmosphere like no other.

In this afternoon’s 46th Hockey Intercol, we witnessed a tough contest highlighted by remarkable defence from both schools.

With scores locked at 0–0 at half time, it was anyone’s game. SPSC broke the deadlock in the third quarter before sealing a 2–0 victory with a scorching penalty corner drag flick in the final minutes.

A fine display of hockey from both schools, reflecting the passion, effort and respect befitting the occasion.

Congratulations to our boys on a terrific win!

The Division One Chess team gave a showcase in resilience in the 54th Intercollegiate Chess Competition.

It was a series of hard-fought matches, but PAC took the winning lead midway through the evening, securing victory 7½–2½.

The final two matches still in play went the way of SPSC, a testament to the team’s perseverance and determination.

It was an excellent evening of Chess, and the strength of play speaks to the continued development of the sport at both colleges.

Our Open A1 Table Tennis team secured a well-earned victory in the 16th Table Tennis Intercol.

After a nail-biting series of matches and many hard-fought rallies, SPSC emerged victorious, winning 12–8 in sets. The team played exceptionally well, with their composure and determination shining through when it mattered most.

It was wonderful to see such support from PAC and SPSC students, staff and families.

Congratulations, boys. You should be immensely proud of this achievement.

The SPSC 1st XV secured victory in the 39th Rugby Intercol in a hard-fought match against a determined PAC, scoring 10 tries to PAC’s two.

SPSC played a very physical and open-running style of rugby, which saw Captain Harry (Year 12) awarded best and fairest by SARU officials. Harry, together with Miles (Year 12), scored two tries each. Tony (Year 12) also scored a try while making seven successful conversions.

The final score of 66–12 saw SPSC secure both the SA Schools Rugby Cup (Begly Cup) and the Intercollegiate Cup.

In a closely contested and thought-provoking debate, our Open A team was narrowly defeated in a split decision at the 36th Debating Intercol.
 
With just one hour to prepare without access to phones, resources or coaches, both teams demonstrated impressive knowledge, skill, bravery and composure. SPSC argued the affirmative on the topic: “That we should reduce the sentence for offenders committing serious economic crimes if they can compensate the victims’ losses.”
 
Our team presented a compelling case, including arguments about the rights of victims to have their financial losses restored. However, PAC, arguing the negative, was awarded the debate and secured the John Bannon Shield.
 
Our boys should be extremely proud of their performance. Thank you also to the student supporters who brought a wonderful atmosphere and energy to Memorial Hall.

The 4th Squash Intercol was a high-standard contest played in great spirit, with SPSC securing a 3–1 victory and our first Squash Intercol win.

Our players competed strongly throughout, with some excellent individual performances contributing to a terrific team result. It was a fitting reward for the hard work, improvement and commitment shown by the group and coaches as the Squash program has continued to develop in recent years.

Congratulations to all involved on a memorable Intercol victory.
