Catholic College Sale has marked a significant milestone, with its first-ever girls\u2019 team competing in the historic Marist Carnival over three days.<\/p>\n

While the boys\u2019 competition has been running for decades, this year\u2019s event was only the second girls\u2019 carnival, hosted by Assumption College in Kilmore.<\/p>\n

Sale opened the carnival against St John\u2019s Woodlawn on day one. Bowling first, Sale restricted its opponent to 2\/133 from 20 overs, with captain Ruby Scholtes named player of the match after claiming the first wicket of the carnival and finishing with impressive figures of 1\/16 from four overs. <\/p>\n

In reply, Sale showed determination but were unable to match a polished Woodlawn outfit, closing at 8\/69.<\/p>\n

Later that afternoon, Sale faced Lavalla College from the Latrobe Valley. Sale struck early, reducing Lavalla to 2\/9 in the fourth over, but a brilliant 83 not out from opener Candice Brammich lifted Lavalla to 3\/149. <\/p>\n

Sale\u2019s chase was full of spirit and smart cricket, finishing at 7\/103. Scholtes contributed a confident 20 from 23 balls, Charli Paterson was named player of the match, and Suzie Coleman continued an outstanding run in the field across both games.<\/p>\n

On day two, Sale took on unbeaten host school Assumption College. Assumption captain Bridget Stute produced a batting masterclass, taking advantage of the short boundaries at Austin Oval to score an outstanding 103 retired from 47 balls, including 20 boundaries, as her side reached 5\/169. Sale responded with determination but were restricted to 7\/46, with Coleman top-scoring with 15 from 29 balls, including two fours. Award winners <\/p>\n

for the day were Mikayla Pendrick (player of the match) and Matilda March (captain\u2019s award).<\/p>\n

Day three featured two matches. In the penultimate game against Marist College Bendigo, Sale bowled well early to have Bendigo at 2\/35. An unbeaten 110-run partnership, however, lifted Bendigo to <\/p>\n

2\/145, with wickets claimed by Paterson <\/p>\n

and Stef Worcester. Bendigo\u2019s disciplined bowling and fielding then restricted Sale to 6\/57, with Scholtes top-scoring with 19 not out.<\/p>\n

The final match against Marist-Sion Warragul proved a highlight for Sale. A strong bowling performance limited Warragul to 5\/77, with Scholtes (2\/5) and Coleman (2\/7) outstanding. Despite a shaky start at 3\/18, Ebony Silvester and Scholtes combined for an unbeaten 60-run partnership to secure Sale\u2019s first win of the carnival, sparking jubilant celebrations among players, coaches and families.<\/p>\n

At the presentation dinner, Paterson received the Marcellin Champagnat Award for consistent team spirit, while Scholtes was named in the Marist XI following an exceptional all-round tournament.<\/p>\n

The carnival concluded on a positive note, highlighting the team\u2019s growth and building optimism for the future of girls\u2019 cricket at Catholic College Sale. <\/p>\n
