Yukimaro continues to improve his ranking, playing in the 2017 Horizon Accounting 87th Toowoomba Easter Gold Cup (platinum). He went up to the quarter finals of the main draw, starting from the qualifying draw, beating the 21 year old 4th seed (Australian ranking 47th, ATP point holder) in the round of 16. He also made the final in the doubles winning against some strong and older players. With this result, his ranking will jump up next month.

Please note, the Somerset Colours Awards are given only for school-based sports.

Last Wednesday, seven Year 12 girls travelled to Byron Bay to participate in the Northern Rivers Schools Futsal Championships. Having never played a game of futsal before, the team comprising of Isla Bigwood, Abby Kavanagh, Charli Kavanagh, Lyuba Korina, Demi Sudiana, Jolais Govenlock and Gabriella Leckenby were equal parts nervous and excited for a full day of futsal games against other Gold Coast Schools.
