Congratulations to Keira B and Grace B on their outstanding success at the recent u12 Girls Australian Rules Football Championships. Representing Victoria, the girls were part of an incredible campaign that saw their team go undefeated across the tournament to be crowned overall champions. 

The competition featured all footballing states in the country, with Victoria recording impressive wins over highly regarded opponents such as Western Australia and South Australia in closely contested matches. 

Both Keira and Grace played pivotal roles throughout the championship, consistently contributing to their team’s success with skill, determination, and leadership on the field.  

This achievement is a testament to their hard work, talent, and commitment to the sport.

We are extremely proud of Keira and Grace and look forward to following their continued success in football. 

Victory Cup 

Overnewton’s Intermediate & Senior Footballers took on Melbourne Victory’s affiliated schools in a 7v7 tournament at Darebin this week. 

Both our Boys’ and Girls’ intermediate teams fought hard, qualifying for finals and finishing as proud semi-finalists! 

During the play-offs, the girls secured a confident 2-0 win over Dandenong, while the boys delivered a nail-biting comeback against Western Heights. They turned a 3-1 deficit in a penalty shootout into a 4-3 triumph with goalkeeper Aiden pulling off crucial saves before slotting home the winner. 

Our Senior Boys’ and Girls’ teams had successful tournaments both reaching the semi-final stage. 

Going into the semi-final undefeated, our boys team played some exciting football, however, came up against a strong defensive team. This led to a nail-biting penalty shootout, which ended up in a narrow 7-6 loss. Our girls side showed determination and resilience against a very strong semi finalist. Unfortunately, the team were overrun in the end and fell short of reaching the final.  

Well done to all players for displaying commitment, school pride & teamwork during this exciting competition!
