On Tuesday 8 November, our Year 5 and 6 Boys and Girls APP Football teams headed to Wanderers Football Park to play in the Wanderers Cup Football Finals Day.
Our Girls team played in 3 matches during the day, winning one, drawing one game and going down in the final match to see them place 3rd in the pool, narrowly missing the Semi-Finals. The team has shown remarkable improvement throughout the year and combine well as a team, encouraging all players on the field.
Our Boys team started the day with a nil-all draw, a 1-0 win and in the final round game against King Park PS won 1-0, which saw them secure 1st in their pool to progress to the Finals. The boys then won their Semi Final 3-1 and progressed to the Grand Final against Mamre. In a tight contest, we were tied at 1-all at the end of the game. Going into extra time, we were again tied, with at the end of the period. The game then went into penalties and unfortunately, we went down in penalties after 9 attempts. An amazing effort by the boys!
The coaching staff were very impressed by the effort by both teams on the day. Not only were they great ambassadors of the College, showing sportsmanship and skill, they worked tirelessly for their teammates and their behaviour both on and off the field was outstanding.
Congratulations to both teams!
Mrs S Evans and Miss D Tikeri
