21 July Iona College sport has been moving. The vacation saw Confraternity rugby league, participation in the Gold Coast basketball tournament, mountain biking and swim training, as well as the annual tennis championship and clinic plus weekend trials. There were disappointments with COVID restrictions but we live in a time of playing within Queensland Government guidelines. The College wishes to thank all involved for their efforts and community spirit.

This weekend sees Iona sport in full swing with a mountain biking event on Friday, a full weekend of AIC sport with Villanova College, Intercollegiate golf at Keperra and the Senior Schools Cup volleyball team vs Capalaba on Monday. Season openers are big events and our College will need to be ready for a competitive round of sport. A highlight will be the hosting of all AIC rugby league fixtures on Saturday – 22 games across 3 fields.

All are reminded to follow COVID guidelines and be respectful as coaches, players and spectators.

Gold Coast Invitational During the holidays our 1st V squad and a selected group of U15 students participated in the Gold Coast Invitational Basketball tournament.

Due to the lockdown imposed by the State Government the boys unfortunately had their tournament cut short, missing out on the opportunity to play their semi-final crossover match. Both teams finished their round games 4th place in their pool.

The games serve as preparation for the 2021 AIC season ahead. Many thanks to the coaching staff (Mr Anthony Bannerman, Mr Peter Mondolo, Bailey Graham), parents, players and supporters.
