SPORT UPDATE  

BADMINTON

On Tuesday May 14th, 13 year 8 girls and 6 boys went to Mornington Secondary College to compete in the Southern Peninsula division badminton competition. All students represented the college brilliantly by displaying excellent sportsmanship and having a red hot go. The boys played consistently but the opposition was very strong and our boys did not win a match. We had two teams in the girls competition and the A team had a fantastic day, coming first in the competition. Good luck at the next level girls.

SENIOR BOYS SOCCER DISTRICT WINNERS 

On Monday 29th April, Mount Eliza Year 11 & 12 boys participated in the Soccer inter-school sports day. Everyone gave everything to win the day, especially given the rivalry which has developed with Mornington over the years and this year was no different. As always both Mornington and Mount Eliza had picked up maximum points from all of their opening games and the day came down to the Mount Eliza - Mornington match to decide the day.

Heading into the game it was expected that it would be a close encounter, and it didn't disappoint. After Mornington dominated the opening 10 minutes, Mount Eliza got a counter-attack and broke away, and a sloppy handball allowed Mount Eliza to go ahead from the penalty spot through Patrick Briggs. The match from then on was very close with attacks end to end from both sides, with Nathan Mann running the wings destroying the Mornington defenders the whole match, and Ryan Scott, Tom Gibson and Tom Wesley solid in defence Mount Eliza held out, until Mornington got a corner kick and scored from the set piece.

In the second half Mount Eliza would receive another penalty after a clumsy tackle in the box, which was converted again by Patrick Briggs. The game then got extremely competitive and emotions were high. Mount Eliza were set to take a throw when the ball was thrown away by the Mornington player, who then retrieved it and threw it at one of our players in frustration, this got a couple of our players frustrated and then the game entered a bit of an altercation between the sides. The game was then cut short and Mount Eliza were crowned champions of the day! Well done to all the team! On to the next round.
