Grand Final: KWS Strikers 16 def by Orange United U14s 22

The Strikers had an exciting season that saw them reach the Grand Final. Our defence was outstanding with Emma and Ellen continuing their intercepts and ability to disrupt the focus of the opposition. Ella, Sophie and Lily worked tirelessly in the mid court to create opportunities to return the ball to our goal third. Jemima and Emily worked well in the goal circle and shot some amazing goals. Charlotte enthusiastically cheered the team on from the sidelines. Orange United were able to gain the upper hand in the first quarter. The Strikers worked well to reduce the margin in the third quarter. Unfortunately, Orange United maintained their lead and won the match. Well done to the Strikers for their determination and improvement throughout the season.

ISA Athletics

Following a very strong showing from the squad at the WAS Athletics Carnival in Dubbo a much depleted team travelled to Sydney for the ISA Championships last week.

The girls team were outstanding, winning the Junior Division Shield and taking third place in both the Intermediate and Senior divisions. This placed them first overall in the Championship, and resulted in the following selections for the CIS Championships later this month...Brooke Barrett, Ella Buesnel, Evie Hall, Taylor Hobbs, Sophie Martin, Sarah Jackson, Ella Kirby, Chanel Knight, Phoebe Litchfield, Grace McRae, Isabelle Medway, Lucy Payne, Lily Robson, Maggie Smith and the Junior Relay.

The boys squad were very competitive finishing fourth in the Junior Division, sixth in the Intermediates and fifth in the Seniors, to be placed fourth overall.

Ethan Buesnel, Max Bylsma, Liam Choi, Fletcher Doyle, William Fuller, Harry May, Ben Jones, Cody Kelso, Thomas Patton, Vincent Reilly, Cooper Reynolds and Jack Weeks were selected in the CIS squad.

Multiple first places were achieved by Ben Jones, Sarah Martin, Taylor Hobbs, Jayde Caro, Ella Kirby, Isabelle Medway, Phoebe Litchfield and Maggie Smith.

We wish our 26 CIS representatives all the best of fortunes in two weeks.
