Bill Turner Cup
The U15 boys put a huge effort in over their three games, showing massive improvement across the day. Despite coming away without a win, their effort and attitude could not be faulted.
For the girls, they worked incredibly hard, earning 2nd in their group! With one win, one draw and one loss they showed amazing resilience and teamwork to earn their fantastic results. I could not be prouder of their attitude and effort.






Uhlsport Cup
The Open boys team had a great first match against an organised and composed Marist College team.
The end result was a 4-0 loss with a few late goals from the opposition.
Our team were solid and made quite a few really good chances but just couldn’t capitalise on them.
Congratulations to Freeman House on being crowned Cross Country Champions for 2026.
