MELINA AYRES - MELBOURNE CITY WINS BACK TO BACK TITLES!
Congratulations to Melina Ayres (Year 12) who was part of the Melbourne City Women’s League team that won back to back titles defeating Perth 2 - 0 on Sunday 12 February. Melina played an integral part of the side this year, scoring against Canberra and setting up numerous goals. She has been playing alongside the current Matildas and overseas professionals which has been a great experience for her. Her brother Liam is her biggest fan!
What a wonderful achievement Melina. The College is so proud of you and wishes you continued success in your sporting career.
