Rochedale State School - Sports Premiers, 2003

In 2003, Rochedale State School fielded many sporting teams, both girls and boys in sports such as Cricket, Netball, Basketball, Soccer, T-Ball, Tennis and Q League. All teams displayed a great deal of team spirit and fair play and were a credit to our school with their efforts and behaviour. Of these teams in First Semester, three were fortunate and played well enough to win the Premiership for their grade. They were - Senior and Junior Joey League and the Junior Soccer team.

In Second Semester, once again we had 3 teams who won the Premiership for their sport. They were Junior Girls' T-Ball, Junior Boys' Cricket and Junior Boys' Basketball. Two teams were Runners Up in their Premiership finals, they were the Junior Girls' Basketball and Senior Girls' Softball.

Of course these teams would not have done so well without their marvelous coaches, both teachers and parents whom we would like to thank very much for their time and effort.

Here's our photos of these teams for 2003. Click each photo for a larger one that parents might like to print out.

Junior Cricket

The Rochedale Junior Cricket Team played their Grand Final against MacGregor 1. Rochedale won the toss and elected to field. Our best bowler was Max who gained 3 for 10 off 3 overs. Lachlan, Kieren and Cory took good catches and Nick bowled their opener with his first ball. MacGregor set us a target of 51 runs in twelve overs. Shane and Nick opened the batting aggressively taking the score to 21 after 4 overs. Max and Lachlan came to the crease and Lachlan scored 3 fours off his first 3 balls, taking the score to 33. At the end of the eighth over Lachlan retired and the score was 48. With Sam and Ben at the crease Rochedale reached their target in the 9th over. At this point a MacGregor fielder retired hurt and Shane came on to the field for the opposition, taking two sensational catches getting Sam and Ryan out and being declared the best fielder for the opposition. That’s cricket!

Semester 1

Junior Soccer

Rochedale S.S. won on August 1st, 2003 the Mount Gravatt District Junior B Division Soccer Grand Final after beating Rochedale South S.S. by one goal to nil.

All our players play a fantastic game with a great level of commitment. The defense was incredibly strong and focused, the midfield was awesome and the attack was a constant danger to the opposite team. All our 16 players deserved to win the Grand Final after being undefeated for the whole season.

Senior B Joey League


The Senior B Joey League enjoyed a resounding win in their Grand Final played at Sunnybank Rugby Union grounds.

Although they had a somewhat slow start, losing two of their first few games, they soon rallied and won five games straight in their division.

The boys showed a keen determination and a great improvement in skill level over the season.
