SAPSASA STATE SOCCER FINALS - BOYS KO
KO BOYS SOCCER – STATE CHAMPIONS!
SEMI-FINAL – LNPS v Westbourne Park
What an incredible Finals Day for our LNPS boys! In the Semi-Final, the boys faced a very strong and well-drilled Westbourne Park side. Westbourne Park took a deserved 1–0 lead into half-time after a great passage of play and tidy finish into the bottom corner.
The LNPS boys came out firing in the second half, equalising almost immediately after kick-off! From there, the momentum continued, with a goal from a corner followed by an absolute worldie to seal an exciting 3–1 victory and a place in the Grand Final. Congratulations to Westbourne Park on reaching the Semi-Final and contributing to such a competitive, tightly fought game.
GRAND FINAL – LNPS v Trinity College
The boys were absolutely pumped heading into the Statewide Grand Final and brought incredible intensity from the opening whistle. They pressed brilliantly as a team, moved the ball with confidence and took their chances when they came.
LNPS raced to a 4–0 half-time lead, scoring some brilliant early goals and putting the pressure on from the outset. The boys maintained their composure in the second half and saw out an outstanding 5–0 victory to become Statewide KO Soccer Champions!
Congratulations to Trinity on a fantastic achievement in reaching the Statewide Final.
We are incredibly proud of our boys, not only for the result, but for the teamwork, effort and commitment they displayed throughout the entire competition this year. What an achievement boys! Keep Aiming High!
Soccer has a proud and successful history at LNPS. Since 2017, our boys’ teams have reached an incredible five Statewide Schools Knockout Soccer Grand Finals, winning four State Championships. This sustained success is a testament to the strength of soccer at LNPS and the talent, commitment and teamwork shown by generations of students who have represented our school. It is a proud tradition that continues to grow and reflects the passion for the game within our school community.
SAPSASA STATE SOCCER FINALS - GIRLS KO
KO GIRLS SOCCER – THIRD IN THE STATE!
On Tuesday, the LNPS Girls went along to the Statewide Schools KO Soccer Finals. We are so proud of the girls for making it to the final stages of the competition, giving their best effort and showing great sportsmanship all day.
Semi-Final vs. North Haven Primary School
The girls came close, scoring a goal just after half time to redeem themselves after a tough first half. The cross from Emily was superb to Eden at the back post, who finished in the bottom corner. Conceding only one further goal to the eventual state winners, the game ended 1-3.
3rd - 4th Playoff vs. Willunga Waldorf School
Showing determination to finish the day on a high, the girls yet again succeeded in a penalty shootout to claim 3rd place in the state. We started with confidence and were unlucky not to score on a number of occasions. Lilly was invincible in goals, not letting a single penalty through.
A massive congratulations for going further than any LNPS girls’ team has ever gone before, what an achievement!

It started with these little cuties 6/7 who had never played a game of soccer and it ended with every single child understanding the game & learning new skills every single week.
I am so proud of these kids they lost , they won & they drew but most of all they learnt about being apart of team & celebrating each and everyone’s little achievements on the field.
To Matteo, Raaid, Luke, Aayrn, Sonny, Miles, Emil, Oliver, Sophia & Amber what a pleasure it was can’t wait for next season !
