Sporting Achievements
Football
Congratulations to Felicity McCormick (Year 8), who recently represented IGSA at the Under 18 CIS Football Championships.
Felicity and her IGSA teammates were crowned CIS Champions after an outstanding tournament, competing against some of the best young female footballers in New South Wales. The championships featured players currently competing in the A-League Women’s pathway programs as well as NPL First Grade and Under 23 competitions.
At just 14 years of age, Felicity was the youngest player selected in the IGSA squad. Despite being one of the youngest competitors, she started every match and played a pivotal role in the team’s defensive success. The IGSA side produced an exceptional tournament performance, not conceding a single goal throughout the championships.
Outside of school, Felicity plays for the Western Sydney Wanderers Under 16s in the Girls Youth League 1 competition. She is also a valued member of the MLC School IGSA Senior First Football Team, Captain of the Under 15 Bill Turner Cup team, and a member of the MLC School CIS Cup squad.
This achievement is a testament to Felicity’s talent, commitment and hard work, and we are incredibly proud of her accomplishments.
We wish Felicity and the rest of the CIS Cup team all the very best for their Semi-Final fixture against Arden Anglican School next week.
First Football Team Marches into CIS Cup Plate Semi-Finals
The MLC School First Football Team has continued its impressive winning run, securing a place in the CIS Cup Plate Semi-Finals with a hard-fought 5–2 victory over All Saints Grammar in Round 4 of the knockout competition.
The match was physical and fiercely contested from the outset. All Saints Grammar started strongly, taking an early lead and putting MLC School on the back foot. However, the girls showed tremendous resilience and determination to work their way back into the game.
A key turning point came through the tactical adjustments made by First Team Coach, Richard Burgess, whose well-timed substitutions had an immediate impact and helped shift momentum in MLC School’s favour. Every player contributed to the team’s success in what was a true squad performance.
Captain Carina Savoca (Year 12) led by example, causing constant problems for the opposition defence with her pace and dangerous counterattacking runs. The defensive unit remained composed throughout, with Ava Roins (Year 12) producing several strong overlapping runs from left back to support the attack.
In midfield, Cass Fernando (Year 11) controlled the game with skill and composure, weaving through opponents as though she had the ball on a string. At the back, Téa Costin (Year 9) looked completely at home at this level, displaying outstanding passing accuracy and calm decision-making during crucial moments of the match.
Impact players from the bench also played a major role in the victory. Felicity McCormick (Year 8) proved lethal in front of goal, scoring a brilliant brace, while Balbay Boyd (Year 7), more commonly seen showcasing her talents on the basketball court, seamlessly transferred her athletic skills to the football pitch and found the back of the net.
The team’s Most Valuable Player award went to Georgie Coxsedge (Year 10). Georgie’s tireless work rate both on and off the ball never goes unnoticed. Her football intelligence is well beyond her years, helping the team remain composed under pressure. Her excellent distribution, ability to retain possession, and leadership in key moments were instrumental in the victory.
Congratulations to Georgie on a well-deserved MVP performance, and congratulations to the entire MLC School First Football Team on advancing to the CIS Cup Plate Semi-Finals. The team now travels to the home of Football NSW, Valentine Park, on Wednesday 10 June to face Arden Anglican College in the semi-final. As the reigning 2025 CIS Cup Plate Champions, we hope MLC School can continue their success and advance to the finals once again.

MLC02 Hockey
Big shoutout to MLC02 Hockey who showed up on a sunny, but cold Olympic Park Saturday morning, taking on St Scholastica’s in S04. The first half was slow and steady, with the back of the net staring at us in the face multiple times and some solid defensive work. Half time: 0-0.
After a good half time chat: ‘please just stand on the back post!’ MLC02 came to life. Attacking with speed and intent, breaking into the circle countless times and being positionally perfect lead us to our success. Tina Guan (Year 10) took the team talk to heart and smashed in a second half hat-trick. It was a huge MVP performance from Tina to pick up three of the four goals in our 4-0 win!
We look forward to a week off and then to give it our all in the last few games. Finals are an absolute possibility, and we know we want to be there!
