Match Report: Kinross Wolaroi School vs The King's School - 15 September

Ladies and gentlemen, gather round and let me entertain you with a tale of soccer splendor from the clash of titans on Sunday, 15 September!

Kinross Wolaroi’s Year 5 and 6 selective soccer team took to the field against The King's School in a match that promised thrills.

From the opening whistle, the atmosphere was electric, with both sides showing off their skills. The King's School, fresh off their Central West tour, had been unbeatable until this very game. Kinross, the only team to breach their defenses on tour, were determined to show that their recent WAS championship success was no fluke. And indeed, they did—scoring a remarkable goal that echoed their prowess on the field!

Despite a valiant effort, the match concluded with a final score of 4-1 in favor of The King’s School. But let’s not forget one of the day’s unsung heroes: Ashton Quinn-Woonton, our Year 10 referee, whose precise officiating ensured the game flowed smoothly and fairly.

To The King’s School, kudos on your victory, and to Kinross Wolaroi, hats off for making your mark and bringing flair to the pitch!
