Term 3 Sports Highlights

A short but action-packed Term 3 has netted some exciting sporting results for Brighton SC, head lined by our State Winning Senior Boys Soccer Team. 

Early in the term, we saw the launch of our new and improved Volleyball Club. It’s been fantastic to see so many of you getting involved, learning new skills, and building a strong sporting community around volleyball.

Our Hockey teams continue to rise with our Year 8 team winning the PASE final against McKinnon and progressing the Region finals next term. The whole team were amazing with our outstanding players being Chris Sellars and Nyah Maddison. 

Our Year 7’s continued the pattern and beat all comers on a great day out at the Hawthorn Hockey Centre, they will go again in Term 4 at the Regional Finals as well. 

We took a small but very strong team of athletes to Duncan McKinnon athletics track last Thursday for the Kingston Division Athletics. We had some amazing results and came home with the overall junior girls pennant. 

Ada Seretis and Taya Poddubnaia were both crowned overall age group champions. We had lots of medals and podiums over the day and our results were led by the following results.
