There was a record number of teams involved in this year’s AFL Giants Cup State Finals, with teams travelling from places such as Eden, Albury and Western Sydney to be involved. Our U15 girls were invited to participate in the State finals against the best schools in the state including Mt Saint Joseph, St Francis, Wagga High School, Wollongong High School, St Pius High School, Bega High School, Mackillop College and Xavier High School.
Our team was the youngest and least experienced, however, we were able to compete with the same determination and grit our Senior girls showed earlier this term. Unfortunately, we were not able to match the expertise demonstrated by the other well seasoned teams and did not make the semi finals.
The amazing performances and never-give-up attitude served us well throughout the day and will make a great foundation for their future in AFL. Thank you to Mr Palmer and Miss Close who once again proved their passion and skill in coaching the AFL team. Their efforts in training, preparing the team and coaching on the day is much appreciated by the girls and the wider sporting community.
Team: Annalise Atkins, Caroline Banner, Chelsea Cachia, Bethany Curl, Paige Fisher, Kate Iisakka, Tamara Kiosoff, Montana Logozzo, Mia Maricic, Aalyah Meads, Tatiana Mendez, Nyah Monti, Shayal Mudaliar, Erika Pacchiarotta, Rose Shamoon, Hannah Siddens, Jordyn Sinclair, and Claudia Tolomeo.
