On Wednesday 29 May, the Year 7 girls travelled to Epping to compete in the Mickleham Division Girls Soccer. Throughout the day every girl on the field displayed amazing teamwork, sportsmanship and leadership. Everyone worked extremely well together, and all contributed to our wins. In the first game we versed Craigieburn and won 4-0, the next game was against Edgar’s Creek and we won 2-0. Following these wins the girls made it through to the final and won 1-0 against Mickleham.
Defense held up really well which did not allow any teams to score. Midfields and strikers all connected to help score goals. Our leading goal scorers for the day were: Riley Adams, Hanna Mees and Lucinda Bowen. Congratulations to all the girls and everyone involved for a great day and making it to the next round.
We had a good day all round even though we didn’t win, we tried hard and played well with many great moments by everyone. Our first game did not go great with a loss of 4-1, but we got a good goal, courtesy of Mack and Joey working together.
Our second match went well with good defence and an amazing goal by Matt, finishing with a score of 1-0. Our last match didn’t go great either, but we kept going. Although we didn’t score, we had some good defence. It ended 7-0, many of us say one goal shouldn’t have counted, oh well! It was great having the girls cheering us on with our whole team doing a lot of cheering too.
In conclusion it was a fun day with good play, and it was amazing to see the girls win!
AFL Girls Football Day - Bridget Eames
On the Friday 24 May a group of over 70 students played in the AFL Girls day at Boardman Reserve in Sunbury. The Intermediate girls (Year 9-10) played a great round of games, with the coaching help of two Year 11 Sport and Recreation students, Lachie and Huon.
We played competitively against Kyneton Secondary and won 69-0. We then played Mount Ridley who were a tough side to beat. The final score was 6-9, with Mount Riddley taking the win.
We played our third and final game against Wallen Secondary. We played well and won. The Junior girls won all of their three games, and the Senior girls came away with a win and a loss.
Overall, the girls did an amazing job, and we should be very proud of ourselves. Well done girls!
Year 8 Girls Soccer - Charity Goodsall
The Year 8 girls did an amazing job when they travelled to Epping this week for the first round of Interschools Soccer, winning all three games and getting through to the finals. Special mention to Tessa and Nina who played for the boys team, as they were down on numbers and our amazing coach, Isha Kuyateh, who did an terrific job supporting the girls.
Year 8 Boys Soccer - Julius Gorzkowski
On Tuesday 4 June our Year 8 boys participated in the Interschool Soccer Competition. The weather was great, and overall conditions for play were excellent. The boys got to play two games, one against Mt Ridley Secondary College and the other against Elevation College.
The first game our boys were a little cold to start with, conceding two early goals, but they were able to score a couple of goals to end up loosing 4 – 2. In the second game they were much more competitive and drew at the final whistle 0 – 0. Unfortunately, it was not enough to progress to the next round of competition, but a good effort considering they were short players. A big thanks to Rhys Bosanko and Willem Dorhout Mees of Year 9, for coaching on the day.
