And well done to fellow 1st XVIII co-captain, Noah Long, on being selected with pick 58 by the @WestCoastEagles in this year’s #AFLDraft. Noah overcame an injury-interrupted season to perform very well for Vic Country at the National Championships, as well as when leading GGS.

@geelongcollege The day concluded with the Boys’ 1st Footy fixture, which was a low-scoring affair w/ a little bit of everything (including a behind post being uprooted by a Year 11 student, who came away unscathed). Our 1sts prevailed by four points; the Derby winning streak now sits at eight.

A Derby Day thread @APS_Sport @geelongcollege … The day began bright and early for our Girls’ 1st Hockey, kicking off the day’s proceedings at 8.15am at the Bender Centre. The team secured their second win of the season and enjoyed every minute of it.

In a clash of two top-four teams, the @geelongcollege 1st Netball team prevailed in front of a fantastic Handbury Centre crowd. The elements played a big part for those teams playing outside at the Bender Centre.

Our School Captains, Caitie & Harry, visited @geelongcollege on Wednesday to extend an invitation to their TGC counterparts for tomorrow’s Derby Day at Corio Campus. The pair addressed assembly at TGC ahead of what will be a wonderful day of friendly competition.

It’s not quite four seasons in one day but, in the space of six hours, Corio Campus has been coated with frost, shrouded in fog and bathed in sunshine.

Congratulation to our Girls’ 1st Football on winning a nail-biting derby clash against The Geelong College last night. In a match highlighted by some incredible last-ditch defending from both teams, GGS was able to repel one last attack from TGC to secure victory in fading light.
