NSW All Schools 15 Years and under AFL Championship

Last week Olivia Taranto, Georgie Gough, Jayda Richardson, Charlotte McGillivray and Anthony DePasquale travelled to Sydney as CIS 15 years and under AFL players to play in the NSW All Schools AFL Championship competition. The girls team played well and showed that as a regional team they were getting stronger than previous years. They placed third out of the day. The boys team showed great strength and won the competition.

Following the competitions Jayda Richardson and Anthony DePasquale, both from year 9, were selected in the NSW All Schools team and will be attending training camp in Canberra and the SSA Secondary 15 Years & Under AFL Championships in Adelaide in July. Congratulations to both these students and good luck at the next competition.

AFL Under 15 Girls Giants Cup Competition

On Wednesday 13 June a team of 25 under 15 year old girls coached by Miss Leah Thompson headed to Deniliquin to play in a competition against Deniliquin High School, Finley High School, Barham High School and Hay High School. The first game was played against Barham and was our highest scoring game with the girls scoring 5 goals to win with a score of 31 to 6. The goal scorers for this game were Charlotte McGillivray (2 goals), Lily Hindman, Kayla Elphick and Olivia Taranto.

The second game was a much closer game on the bigger oval against Finley with the girls winning by a narrow 2 points (14 to 12). Olivia Taranto and Lizzie Halloran scored the goals in this game.

The third game saw the backline having to work hard against a strong attack from the Hay girls in the first half. They protected the goals well and prevented Hay from scoring in the first half. The final result was a win with a score of 14 to 6 and goals were scored by Hannah Norman and Charlotte McGillivray.

The final game against Deniliquin High was a strong game with a late goal in the first half from Moama. In the second half our girls found some space with the ball and took the lead winning 19 to 6. The goal scorers were Charlotte McGillivray (2 goals) and Georgie Gough.

Every team member put in 100 % effort on the day and represented Moama Anglican Grammar well with great sportsmanship and team spirit. The girls won the competition and progress to play at the NSW/ACT State Championships in Canberra next week. Good luck with the next round.
