Premier Competition highlights

It was another highly successful season for St Andrew's College sport in local Canterbury premier competitions, with the girls’ teams once again to the fore. Several other St Andrew’s teams across the codes and age groups made playoffs and ended their season with top three finishes.

Football

The Girls’ 1st XI celebrated a remarkable achievement becoming four-time Canterbury Premier Champions, and cementing their dominance in local school football, after a commanding 4–0 victory over Avonside Girls’ High School in the final. Incredibly, the team has only lost one match in the last four years, and this is the fifth championship the girls have secured in the last six years. Amber de Wit (Y12) led the charge with two goals in the final and was the top Canterbury goal scorer.

The Boys’ 1st XI put up a valiant effort in their cup semi-final against Burnside High School, but ultimately lost 0–2, ending their cup run.

The Boys’ Senior A team made the semi-finals of their competition, going down to number one ranked team Christ’s College, 121–75.

Despite a relentless effort, the final score was 30–25 in favour of St Margaret’s College, with St Andrew’s claiming second place in the competition.

Rugby

St Andrew’s were down 22 points early in the match but fought back bravely to be within seven points at the 50-minute mark. Although Christchurch Girls’ High School ultimately won the match, the St Andrew’s girls showed great character and growth across the season, which bodes well for the 2025 season.

The 1st XV had an enjoyable but challenging year in 2024, placing eighth overall in the Miles Toyota Cup. Highlights included winning the big traditional games against Christ’s College (25–19) and Timaru Boys’ High School (29–0) as well as retaining the Fox Memorial Cup against Shirley Boys’ High School on Rugby Club Day.

However, the girls steadily gained momentum each quarter and Ella O’Brien (Y12) scored two crucial goals, to tie the score 2–2. Captain, Henrietta Nation (Y13), scored the final goal securing third place for St Andrew’s.

The local premier competition was challenging for the Boys’ 1st XI, with some early losses, but the team leant on a positive culture and improved with each game. They finished fifth but had some excellent results in later games as they headed away for the Rankin Cup tournament in September.
