FOOTBALL - INTERSCHOOL AFL COMPETITION

YEAR 8 BOYS

Year 7 & 8 boys travelled to Leongatha on Thursday to take part in the interschool AFL competition. Both sides started the day well with a win each. The undermanned year 8’s were unable to get another win but fought hard all day with other schools providing fill in players. 

Year 7 mixed AFL team

The year 7 mixed AFL managed to even the ledger with 2 wins and 2 losses.  They travelled to Leongatha for the South Gippsland region round robin competition. We had a tough opening round coming up against the eventual winners in Bass Coast Dudley losing 0-17. Round two and three we played our best footy defeating Mary Mac 25-1 and then Bass San Remo 21-16. Last game we play against a competitive Leongatha score who unfortunately score 3 late goals to beat us 2-23.

INTERMEDIATE BOYS

On Thursday, 15/5, our Intermediate Year 9/10 Boys Football team travelled to Wonthaggi Recreation Reserve to compete in the interschool competition. Leading the team for the day were our co-captains, Jayden Douglas and Johnny Wilson, who both set a fantastic example with their leadership on and off the field.

In our first match, we came up against a strong Bass Coast College – Wonthaggi Campus side, made up entirely of Year 10 students. Despite the size and experience difference, our boys showed great resilience and determination, working hard to compete until the final siren.

Our second game saw a much closer contest against Bass Coast College – Dudley Campus. It was a tightly fought battle from start to finish, with both teams trading goals throughout the game. The boys gave it everything, narrowly going down by a late goal in the second half.

A big well done to all the players for their effort, teamwork, and sportsmanship across the day.
