Regional Champions!

On Tuesday last week, MGC students in Year 7-9 competed in a regional final after playing a round robin the week before and winning. They played their final in Doreen against Eltham collage. The wind was a massive factor in the game. Issy Pritchard our captain won the toss and elected to go with the wind the first quarter.  

In first quarter we had a strong middle and defensive behind ball strategy, Kate Jessop kicked two kick goals and a point, putting MGC in front.

Next quarter Eltham had the wind, MGC kept them to only scoring 3 points. Our defence behind the ball put us at a massive advantage. 

3rd quarter rolled around and we managed to kick 3 goals. This put us up by 31 points, but we knew that Eltham had the wind and it was defiantly the scoring end.

4th quarter came quick; Eltham kicked 3 lucky goals, 2 of which bounced through just. Our determination to win and fitness pulled us through; against all odds we kicked 2 amazing goals from the non-scoring end. 

The siren sounded and we won by 5 goals. MGC had a very strong team over the ground and it we didn’t have anyone who didn’t put in effort.
