CIS Boys Football Cup Semi-Final – A Remarkable Season Comes to a Close

Our Senior Boys Football Team took to the field for the CIS Football Cup Semi-Final on Wednesday, coming up against Central Coast Sports College. It was a thrilling and competitive match that unfortunately didn’t fall in our favour.
