Page 60 / Rostrevor Magazine 2020 - 2021 Intercol 2020 Intercol 2020 was an event like no other. With ever-changing caps on spectator numbers and social distancing requirements, Rostrevor and Sacred Heart Colleges worked hard behind the scenes to make Intercol 2020 the success it was. Unique partnerships were formed as the Campbelltown Soccer Club provided the venue for three contests - the 10A, Second XI and First XI matches. The larger venue enabled senior students and immediate family members to attend while also giving the players a competition-grade pitch on which to perform. The College also invested in live-streaming services for the first time in Intercol history, which opened up matches of Basketball (Middle A, Open B and Open A matches), the First XI Soccer and First XVIII Football to a much wider online audience. The First XVIII match drew statewide attention as former Crows Captain Mark Bickley stepped forward to commentate the match which was viewed both by families and friends at home as well as a broader “Adelaide Now” audience. Extra provisions to manage spectators enabled Intercol to proceed with the traditional Red and Black fanfare and passion. The Premier attended, along with Police Minister and former dux Vincent Tarzia (’04) and Education Minister John Gardner. First XVIII Football With the chants of the Red & Black army reverberating around the Big Mem, the First XVIII got off to a great start with the teams on level pegging at half time. A stronger Sacred Heart pulled away in the final quarter winning Police Minister Vincent Tarzia (’04), Education Minister John Gardner, Premier Steven Marshall and 2020 Principal Brian Schumacher Rostrevor First XVIII Captain Xavier Tranfa, Mark Bickley and Sacred Heart’s Xavier Robins.
