State Soccer

On Sunday 1st September the Girls Intermediate Soccer team went to Melbourne for the School State Soccer. The games were on Monday but we stayed overnight at Mr Creece's school (South Melbourne Primary). On Monday we played 3 games . The first game was against Ballarat Secondary College, we won. The next two games were against Parkdale Secondary College and Galen Secondary College. Unfortunately we lost both matches. Overall it was a fun day and we all played very well.
