The U11 girls reached the Plate semi-finals and U11 boys reached the Plate quarter finals. All unfortunately ending in narrow loses on penalties.

All of the students’ behaviour was fantastic and they represented the school superbly. All of the coaches was extremely proud of the resilience, determination and teamwork that was shown by all students over the two days of competition. In particular their positivity, even after losing narrowly in plate semi or quarter finals, they remained positive and upbeat about their performances. All teams watched and supported each other; it was fantastic to see students from the two campuses socialising and encouraging each other.

This pre-season football tournament is an excellent warm up ready for their TISAC and BISAC football season in Term 2.

Well done bulldogs
