Lightning Premiership

By Nathan, Luca & Dom Grade 5/6T

Lightning Premiership 2024

We started walking to the bus from our ⅚ classrooms onto the bus in which contained Boys Soccer and Footy. 

It was only a 10 minute drive to Ballam park. Once we got there we placed our bags down and found our first soccer field which turned out to be our only field. 

Our first game was supposed to be against Woodleigh but it was canceled so we played Karingal. 

They were only 10 minute games so we tied our first game 0-0. Then we played our 2nd game. It was against Frankston east, we lost 0-1 that game. 

Next game was against Frankston Heights which we also tied. Bayside was annoying. 

We were meant to have 5 minute halves but it was 3 minute halves we again tied 0-0 but I think we statistically should've won that game. Our next game was against St Francis Xavier and we won 6-0! This game was funny because there was one guy that yelled after every play and the their goalkeeper broke the sound barrier when he clapped the ball into his chest.

We beat St Johns 1-0, we tied 0-0 with Ballam park, and then we also tied with St Brendans for our final game were we won 1-0. 

We came 3rd in division one because we had 3 wins, 4 draws and 1 loss.

On Wednesday the 12th of June the 5\6s participated in the Lightning premiership round for interschool sports. 

The soccer and footballers went to Ballam  Park and the netballers went to Jubilee park.  

The footballers came first and the soccer and netballers came third, it was so fun and the best part of the day was that we got to do no school work .
