Year 7 Futsal
On 8th of September, the year 7 girls went to Latrobe sports centre to play Futsal.
The first game was a challenge against the eventual winners of the day with a very competitive 2-3.
The girls hit their stride against Macloed in the second game 6-1. Their final game was very well matched against Greensborough with a tie of 3-3.
The whole team worked together with Mizu and Evie volunteering to get the ball kicked at them on goals, Ava B, Fotini C, Raffael W, Aria Y in midfield supporting defence and getting the ball down to the strikers, Mizu M and Evie L keeping the ball away from the goals and Emma and Mccaela as the very strong strikers.
There were many highlights including Mccaela scoring 7 goals in the day, Emma scoring a goal in each of the games (including one with a superb assist from Ruby R) and Sophie D also getting a goal against Macleod.
The boys also competed, and whilst they didn't win that day, they played competitively throughout the day and making it into the 3rd place playoffs.
Quinn and Sammy who were strong all day with
Sammy controlling the game well. Charlie made some great saves in goals and Quinn kicked a lot of goals. Coca and Daniel were great defence: and there would have been a much bigger deficit without them. Xavier was also integral, getting the ball to the strikers.
Both teams showed great sportsmanship throughout the day and competitive spirit, even having enough energy to play a friendly against each other at the end of the day.
