AFL 9's Mcdonalds Schools Cup

You are here

In its second year running, the 2017 AFL 9s Classic is an exciting national event that took place in Sydney from Friday 24th November to Sunday 26th November.

The Schools Competition involved a fun and social morning of AFL 9s designed just for high school students, taking place from 10am – 2pm on Friday 24th November. Schools were invited from the Sydney district and beyond to compete in a round-robin style competition, hear from special AFL guests and enjoy a unique experience. With a minimum of three games played per team before finals, both our year 7-9 boys and girls teams took to the field with enthusiasm, skill and determination. Unfortunately, neither of our teams were crowned the 2017 AFL 9s Classic School champions, with our boys team being knocked out before finals and our girls team being knocked out in the semi finals. The teams had a great day, despite the hot weather.

Thank you to our coaches, Mr Palmer, Miss Taylor and Miss Close. Your dedication and guidance for our students is highly valued.  We look forward to the next AFL season as we once again try and make our mark on the AFL fields across NSW.
