Knox Division Winter Sport Achievements
The recent winter sports competition brought an electric atmosphere and showcased remarkable talent and dedication from all our students. St Simon had a plethora of teams that advanced from the District competition: We’re thrilled to share some of the standout moments and achievements that made this event truly unforgettable.
AFL Boys/Mixed: Runners Up - 2nd overall
At the AFL Division Boys/Mixed Championships, our St Simon boys emerged as the runners after a nail-biting final match. Their teamwork, strategic plays, and relentless effort in a sloppy ground secured them the top spot in their pool. Our boys were able to secure a grand final spot after a comfortable semi final win against a tough Mountain Gate team. It seemed like an old rematch of the team with St Simon against Lysterfield but the toll of the day’s play plagued our boy with fatigue. In the end, they lost their grand final by 12 points but were proud to be 2nd overall in the Knox Division.
Soccer Girls: Runner Ups - 2nd overall
We are thrilled to announce that our team has secured an impressive 2nd place for our soccer girls team in the recent Knox Division soccer competition! Their outstanding performance and relentless effort throughout the tournament have earned them a well-deserved spot on the podium.
From the opening match to the final whistle, our players showcased incredible skill, teamwork, and determination. Their journey to the finals was marked by memorable victories, winning all their round robin pool games and making it to a major grand final. The final ended up a draw of 2 goals each at the end of regulation and extra time. It was a thrilling finish on penalties that saw them narrowly missing out on the top spot. Well done girls on a fine effort and grand accomplishment for our school!
Netball Girls:5th Overall
Netball Boys/Mixed: 3rd Overall
It was a tough competition for our girls as there were many talented teams at this level of competition. Games were fast paced for both competitions. Our boys/mixed made a strong effort to maintain possession through solid passing and quick movement towards their goals. Our girls
Teeball Girls: 3rd overall
Our girls made the most of every game, hitting, throwing the ball off the tee and making excellent fielding decisions to get runners out. Our girls won their first game comfortably but came up against Lysterfield in a very tough game on a muddy ground that came down to the last inning. Unfortunately, we lost by only 1 run. We were able to play a minor final for 3rd and 4th place. Our girls wanted to go home on a positive note and made the effort to win their last final game. Well done girls on coming 3rd place at the tee ball competition!
This competition would not have been possible without the support of our dedicated volunteers and the enthusiastic cheering of our spectating parents. Your contributions played a crucial role in the effort of our students, and we are deeply grateful for your commitment and enthusiasm.
