Quiet achiever
Congratulations to our latest NSWPSSA – Veer Tangri (U14 Gold).
Veer was recently selected for the NSWPSSA side that competes in the Nationals at Newcastle later this year. Veer captained the Combined Independent Schools (CIS) side and played Blast with us from a 5-year-old.
What makes this extra special is that Veer is also a founder of Golden Wickets , a charity dedicated to collecting and distributing used sporting equipment to children in need. His efforts have resulted in him receiving recognition from the MSW Parliament and a Channel 9 News item.
If anyone would like to reach out to Veer and donate equipment or much needed funding then you can contact him via Golden Wickets website.
Well done Veer and good luck in the Nationals later in 2026.

Sheep Station Trophy – the ultimate
Last week we did a story on the C4 Sheep Station Trophy game between the Blues (Rob) and Reds (Ravi). It was the first time that a Seniors Sheep Station Trophy Semi Final has been played in our history.
Fast forward to this weekend, (14th & 15th March 2026) we went one better with our B1 Red (Todd) playing our Blue (Prats) side to make it the first Seniors Sheep Station Grand Final in our history – 96 years in the making!
In the Juniors we have had 12 Sheep Station GF’s. Our latest Sheep Station was played last weekend (8/3/2026) in the U14’s between our Purple & Gold sides. For info, the record in the Juniors is:
- U11s – 2 times
- U12s – 3
