Liam Johnstone, Copper Gow, Jack Horrell, Cooper Robertson and William Devery from SBHS have achieved a remarkable result at the final of the ILT Postal Shoot held earlier this term.

All 5 boys shot a perfect score, with all possible targets being hit. These young men have made history by being the first school team since the event started 18 years ago to do such a thing.

Congratulations boys, what an impressive result.

Our first event of the term saw 8 teams battle it out for the Mixed and Boys trophies, showcasing incredible skill, teamwork, and determination throughout the day. It was awesome to see teams grow in confidence, sharpen their tactics, and lift their game with every match.

The smiles, laughter, and energy on the court said it all, everyone had a blast playing this fast-paced and exciting sport! 😄👏

A huge thank you to Greg, Chloe and Amelia for officiating and sharing their expertise with our teams. Your support and guidance were greatly appreciated. 🙌

Shoutout also to all our team coaches and managers who stepped in to help officiate during games. Your contribution helped make the day a success, and you did an amazing job! 👏
