WRV: Western Region Championships U18 & U14 Tournament

On Sunday 14 June 2026, Altona College ventured to Maribyrnong Sports Academy to participate in The Western Region Championships. Competing in this tournament were our U18 Boys Team (Year 9 students), U18 Girls Team (Year 9/10 students) and three U14 Mixed Teams (one Year 7 and two Year 8 student teams). All players demonstrated fantastic effort, teamwork and represented our school like upstanding students that they are. We could not be more proud.

Our Year 9/10 girls proved to be just as good as any of the Year 11/12 teams, falling short of medalling and placing third. The Year 9/10 boys were also up to the task, confirming that they could contend with 17 and 18 year olds, missing out on gold but earning silver medals.

Our U14 teams established themselves as one of the best in the tournament. Although this was the first ever tournament for our Year 7 Team, they showed growth in their skill and established good teamwork which will be a strong foundation for their Hobsons Bay Division Finals later this year. Our Year 8 B Team placed third only losing one match to Saltwater in the semi-finals. Finally, our Year 8 A Team were unbeatable on the day, deserving of the gold medals.
