Under 15s AFL Knockout Report

The Cecil Hills High School Under 15s AFL team had an easy first two rounds of the NSW Knockout (Swan Shield), winning games against Bonnyrigg High School and Hoxton Park High School by forfeit. Our entire playing group had never played a game of AFL before and the team had already made it to the regional semi-final to play against Sefton High School at Greenway Park.

After many training sessions after school on a Monday afternoon the boys were ready to take on Sefton High School. After a hard-fought game with Evan Frendo, Tristan Sahib, Jayson Van and Wilson Dancey all kicking two goals each, we ended up winning 83-8.  Marko Music was best on ground with a dominant display from centre half-back and Cayden Boyter, Simon Lim and Max Krol gave us plenty of drive out of the middle for the entire game.  An honourable mention must go to Sebastian Nad who laid some bone-crunching tackles in the back line.

Next up was the regional final against Westfields Sports High School. There were a few nerves from the Cecil Hills High School boys as Westfields have an AFL program as well as offering AFL scholarships. This was our entire team's second game of AFL. It was very tough game against a more skillful opponent. However, the team never gave up and there were some incredible tackles and pressure for the entire game and then we lost 48 – 0. Our captain Simon Lim was best on ground with some great runs through the middle and driving the ball deep into the forward 50.

Special thanks must go to Ms Schell and Mr Condon for driving the bus and getting us to our games. As well as Luke Thai of Year 11 who was assistant coach of the team and he did not miss one Monday afternoon of training!  A huge thank you to David Carroll who came to both our games and brought oranges for the boys to have at halftime and enough water and ice for two football teams, absolute legend!
