CIS Football Cup – Fighting Hard to the End

On the Tuesday 11 May 2021, MLC School underwent the 3^rd round of the 2021 CIS football cup.

Sixteen girls were selected from Year 9 to Year 12 to compete in another local derby against PLC Sydney at Strathfield oval. Despite unfortunately losing 4-0, the team displayed great acts of resilience and commendable efforts, as they fought their hardest until the very last minute.

Whilst the score wasn’t in our favour, the girls still performed exceptionally and played some astounding football even despite only having played together once before as a team.

A huge congratulations to the team for having made it this far in the competition, the furthest any MLC School team has made it before. This is without doubt due to their hard efforts throughout the competition and trainings in the weeks leading up to the match, along with their creditable positive spirit and continual efforts that have prompted their success as a team.

A huge thank you to all the Sports department staff, MLC School staff, parents, and Brad for showing an immense amount of support throughout our games, along with our coach Tony, for continuously developing and supporting us throughout the competition.

Whilst the competition is over, it is without a doubt the girls will continue to develop their skills and team work ahead of their IGSA season and will surely come back even stronger next year.
