Greater Western Football
Well done to both our boys and girls teams who competed in the Greater Western AFL Play Football last Friday in Ballarat. The boys made the finals but were defeated by Woodford Primary School, Warrnambool. The girls won one game for the day, but had some very close matches. A big thank you to Tom R and Tom A for coaching the two teams on the day. Thanks also to the parents and grandparents who supported the event.
