The primary boys soccer team took part at the recent TIGS Gala Day. The tournament featured strong competition from schools across Sydney and the South Coast.
Our Year 5 and 6 representatives performed strongly with comprehensive victories against Macarthur, Tudor House and Redlands. The boys played an impressive brand of football and progressed their way through to the semi-final stage where they met rivals Illawarra Grammar.
Thomas Hassall dominated play for the vast majority of the match, coming agonisingly close to scoring on numerous occasions. When the full time whistle blew the scores were locked at 0-0. A penalty shootout was declared to determine the winner.
Despite enormous pressure, our boys stepped up to the mark and performed when it mattered to win the shootout 4-3 and earn a spot in the grand final. The team fought hard in their final match but unfortunately went down to a strong team from Moriah 3-0.
Congratulations to all involved, on your excellent display of skill and teamwork throughout the day.

Assistant Stage 3 Coordinator
