The winners of the Southern Colleges Gala Day were St Joseph’s Regional (girls) and MacKillop College (boys). Both of these colleges were declared Lismore Diocesan champions for 2022 and they progressed to round 2 of the CSNSW-Sport State knockout.

2022 DIOCESAN LISMORE OPEN GIRLS & BOYS FOOTBALL SQUADS TO ATTEND NSWCCC CHAMPIONSHIPS – VALENTINE PARK, GLENWOOD, SYDNEY 25TH & 26TH MAY.

Following Diocesan open football trials at Coffs Harbour (Wednesday 27th April) a Lismore Diocesan girls and boys open football team was selected to attend the CCC Football Championships in Sydney. Once again these trials were hampered several times by flooding, wet weather and ground closures this year.
 Armidale Diocese students attended the Lismore Diocesan Trials at Coffs Harbour for the first time. They will certainly add strength to the Lismore teams at the CCC Championships this year and in the future. 
Lismore managers reported that both the girls and boys open teams performed very well in Sydney this year against some very strong opposition from other dioceses’ and had solid results in pool matches.However, no Lismore players were selected for CCC open teams this year.
