On the Tuesday 9 March 2021 (Week 7), MLC School took part in the 2021 CIS Football Cup. It is MLC School’s third year participating in this competition, and I am happy to say, the team was impressive.

16 girls were selected from Year 9 to Year 12 to compete in the local derby against Meriden.

The girls put on an excellent performance to come out on top, with an exceptional result of 3-1 to push through to round 3 of the competition, the furthest we have ever made it!

Whilst the girls had only had three training sessions prior to the match, and had never played as a team before, they bonded well and put together some amazing plays. MLC School was threatening on the attack, with Toni Eliades (Year 12) scoring a hat-trick within the first half of the match, whilst also dominating defensively, to hold off goals from Meriden’s quick and aggressive attack.

Credit to all the girls’ hard work in the game and the weeks leading up to it. This together with their positive team spirit and effort made for an exceptional performance. It is without a doubt that the girls will continue to develop their skills and teamwork over the next weeks as they prepare for the tough round 3 battle against Pymble Ladies College.
