UniSport Nationals Div 1: Team Bond Day 1 Results

Bond started the week with some great results on Day 1 finishing the day overall with 12 wins, 1 draw and 14 losses in our team sports, and our individual athletes leading both the Div 1 and Div 2 golf and the women’s short and longboard surfing.

Bond surfers and Bond Elite Sport Program (BESP) members Rachael Tilly and Lucy Callister were on fire in their heats on Day 1. Lucy scored 13.83 to easily win her heat, posting the second highest score overall out of the 23 surfers (1st highest score 14.5, next score behind Lucy 10.63). In the longboard, Rachael won her heat and posted the highest score (14.17) out of the 24 surfers. Both girls progress into Round 2 Heats on Day 2.

It was a great start to the golf competition for Bond, with Bond athletes leading both the men’s Div 1 comp (Alessandro Noseda +5) and Div 2 comp (Alex Hurst +24). Bondy Cassandra Ironside is the sole athlete in the women’s Div 2 comp, so is guaranteed to take home a medal! Bond’s Chase Martin and Nicolo Agliata are also sitting well after Day 1, finishing the day 11th (+17) and 13th (+19) respectively.

Bond triathlete and BESP member Olivia Jeffrey gave it her all in the women’s cycling road race down at Murwillumbah, finishing the race in 7th place. International student Erik Cleve-Hansen also performed well in a very tough men’s field.

Road cyclists Olivia Jeffrey and Erik Dleve-Hansen. 

Both of Bond’s beach volleyball teams (Div 2) finished Day 1 undefeated! The men’s pairs team won both their games 2-0 against ADFA (Australian Defence Force Academy) and SCU (Southern Cross Uni). The mixed fours team also won all their games 2-0 against JCU (James Cook Uni), QUT (QLD Uni of Technology) and ECU (Edith Cowan Uni).

Women’s water polo had a very tough first game loss against UTS, however this was expected as the Sydney team consisted of several Australian players. The girls played well and managed to score 2 goals. Game 2 saw Bond take on MQU (Macquarie Uni) and win 12-3, giving the girls some much needed confidence going into Day 2. The men’s water polo team also had a very tough game first up against USYD, with this Sydney team also having a couple Australian players. The boys went down 17-2 in Game 1 against USYD, and 17-5 in Game 2 in a very physical match against Melbourne Uni- with Calum Lowe-Griffiths scoring a cracking last-second goal from halfway.

Women’s badminton team. 

Women’s badminton had a tough to Melbourne Uni lost first up (210-68; 5-0), however redeemed themselves in Round 2 to beat USC (Uni of Sunshine Coast) 4-1 (233-134). Handball also had one win and one loss on Day 1, losing their first game to UTS (29-17) but won their second game 22-15 over UNSW.

Mixed and 

It was a very tough day for the Bond men’s rugby 7s team, unfortunately not progressing through to the medal-finals rounds. Their boys lost their first game against local rivals Griffith Uni (26-12), but convincingly won their second game against SCU (35-5). Game 3 showed promising signs for Bond, drawing 21-all with the 2017 runners-up UTS. In the last game of the day they lost in the dying seconds to ACU (Australian Catholic Uni), which saw them finish 4th in their pool out of 5 teams. Bond will now play in Pool G on Wednesday against UNSW, SCU & MQU to fight for the final two places in Div 1 for 2019.

Squash had a tough day in the office losing both their mixed games, however Canadian World Uni Championships team member & BESP athlete Madison Eggert won his singles match 3-nil to progress into the Quarter Finals on Day 2.  The mixed team lost their first game 99-78 to UNE (University of New England), and narrowly lost their second game 79-64 to UNSW.

It was not quite the first day touch had hoped for, with both mixed and women’s winning only one of their three round games.  Mixed touch had a solid win in Game 1 over ACU (10-5), but lost their next game to fierce local rivals and reigning champions Griffith Uni (11-5). Their final game of the day was the bronze medal rematch from last year against MQU, with the team going down again by only 1 point (4-3). The women’s team had a very hard first game against UTS and failed to score, but fought hard in their second game to beat Monash by 1 point (4-3). The girls played Melbourne Uni in their third game of the day losing 6-1.

Women’s netball had a solid first half in their first game against UTS, the game levelled 19-all at half-time, however slipped away in the second half to go down 53-34. They came back fighting in their second game to take the win over UNSW by 17 points (46-29).

Day 2 will see the Bull Sharks’ campaign in the pool being with all our Georgina Hope Rinehart scholars swimming for gold. Good luck to all teams on Day 2!!

Giro d'Italia on brink of cancellation after COVID-19 hits five teams | More sports News

New Post has been published on https://jordarnews.in/giro-ditalia-on-brink-of-cancellation-after-covid-19-hits-five-teams-more-sports-news/

Giro d'Italia on brink of cancellation after COVID-19 hits five teams | More sports News

The Giro d’Italia was on the brink of cancellation on Tuesday after five teams were hit by COVID-19 cases on the first rest day of the three-week grand tour with almost two weeks left until the finish in Milan. The Mitchelton-Scott team withdrew from the race after four staff members tested positive for the novel coronavirus following top rider Simon Yates pulling out last week. A rider from Jumbo-Visma, a Team Sunweb rider, one staff member from Ineos-Grenadiers and AG2R-La Mondiale also returned positive tests, organisers RCS said. RCS, in a joint statement with the International Cycling Union (UCI), said the teams’ doctors had ordered “isolation measures”. Sunweb said Australian Michael Matthews had tested positive and was asymptomatic, with Jumbo-Visma saying on Twitter their rider Steven Kruijswijk had returned a positive result and would leave the race. Mitchelton-Scott said the team were notified of the four positive results for staff members from tests done on Sunday. “Unfortunately, we received the news on Monday evening that we have returned a number of positive COVID-19 results to members of our staff after our third round of tests in three days,” the team’s general manager Brent Copeland said. “As a social responsibility to our riders and staff, the peloton and the race organisation we have made the clear decision to withdraw from the Giro d’Italia. “Thankfully, those impacted remain asymptomatic or with mild symptoms.” SAFETY CRITICISED Yates, who like Kruijswijk had been among the pre-race favourites, withdrew on Saturday after testing positive for the virus. Kruijswijk was 11th overall, 1:24 behind race leader Joao Almeida of Portugal and 27 seconds behind double champion and fifth-placed Vincenzo Nibali of Italy. Riders in the Giro stay in a biosecure bubble when not on the road, just as they did for the Tour de France, which finished on Sept. 20. Four staff members but no riders tested positive for the virus that causes COVID-19 while on the French tour. On the Tour de France, two positive tests in a team within one week would have triggered the ejection of the outfit from the race but no such rule was put in place for the Italian grand tour, which started in Sicily on Oct. 3. Dutchman Jos van Emden of Jumbo-Visma criticised the organisation, saying the bubble was not secure enough. “The other day we were in there with four or five teams… but in that particular hotel we were in, the neutral service, the police on motorbikes were there, just normal people were there and they were all eating from the same buffet so I think it was a real big mistake,” Van Emden told The Cycling Podcast on Monday. “I heard from a guy from (Deceuninck) Quick Step they had exactly the same, this guy sent me a movie from their dining hall and also Mitchelton-Scott were there… for me there’s no doubt were he (Simon Yates) got the virus.” Italy, which hosted the rescheduled world championships last month, has seen a recent rise in coronavirus cases, with a post-lockdown record 5,456 people infected registered last Saturday. Elite racing resumed in August after a four-and-a-half month hiatus. However, the resurgence of COVID-19 in Europe has forced local authorities and organisers to cancel races, such as the Netherlands’ Amstel Gold Race, which had been scheduled for Saturday, and Paris-Roubaix, the “Monument” classic that was due to be raced on Oct. 25.
