the mighty brunswick
The Year 7 boys soccer team enjoyed a very successful term of interschool sport!
This team of optimistic and motivated players traveled to Preston for the Northern Metropolitan Regional Championships. Their focus for that day was teamwork - supporting each other and playing selfless football.
Beating Viewbank Secondary College 2-0 and following it up by thrashing Craigieburn Secondary College (8-0), they then faced the highly fancied John Fawkner Soccer Academy. A draw between BSC & the Academy meant that qualifying for the Regional Final depended on the outcome between John Fawkner vs Viewbank. The Academy could not score well enough to knock BSC out - so BSC threw down the gauntlet to Thornbury to play for the flag!
Meeting Thornbury in the final, the boys got off to a flying start, leading 2-0 at half time. A few lapses in concentration in the second half saw Thornbury peg the score back to 2-2, putting the game into extra time. With a free kick heading to Brunswick, AJ was able to craft an amazing strike over the Thornbury defenders into the top corner of the goal. The boys held on to this 3-2 lead to win the game and cap off a fantastic day of teamwork.
State finals were held in early September, and the team headed off to competition with heads held high. While playing to win, they stayed grounded in their approach, maintaining and even strengthening their excellent teamwork skills and sportsmanship under pressure.
While 2017 proved not to be our year to be State champions, the BSC boys took much from the experience and have great respect for the competition.
The team wore the Brunswick colours with pride, were gracious in defeat and are looking forward to next year's competition!
Congratulations
to the
mighty mighty
Brunswick!

It was an amazing experience to be part of this team and to make it to the State finals. The opposition teams were all very good and we didn't get to the grand final, but we tried really hard and played our best. We were all happy to have made it so far! I think we learned a lot as a team. Each individual brought their strengths to the team, so by cooperating and working together we made a really good team and had a lot of fun. I hope we all stay together as a team to fight through to state finals again next year. Go the Mighty Brunswick!
