MCCS AFL REPORT

Junior Report

Congratulations to the MCCS junior AFL team for making it into the semis, having a great season, and pulling off an amazing performance every Thursday. MSCW started the season with superb wins, and the students always strive to do their best with an appropriate attitude towards the other teams MSCW were opposing. Not many students in the team knew how to play AFL at the start of the season, so many students learnt new skills and new methods of play. As individual players, they each played their best in game one and started this season determined to win and started to build strong positive relationships with one another. The mids, Madelana Trunzo, Gabriella Moar, Bianca Felliccito and Zali Ianello performed fantastic work, getting the ball down to the forwards, collecting a great catch, taking a mark and kicking a goal with 6 points, taking us to the lead! The defence did an amazing job at stopping the opposition from scoring goals by kicking the ball to the mids and setting it up for the forwards to score goals for the team. MSCW made it to the semi-finals against Marist North Shore, a very tough and competitive game, and an opportunity to make it to the grand final. Everyone gave 100%, trying their best and wanted to take home the trophy. It was the first half and down. However, MSCW were getting Marist North Shore back in the second half, but unfortunately, it was not enough to win the semi-final. MSCW had an amazing season, with a lot of fun along the way. Everyone put in so much effort and tried their absolute best. Well done girls!!!

Open Report 

Congratulations to the MCCS Open AFL team, who came runners up to Catherine McAuley in the grand final. After beating St Pats in the semis, MSCW were tired but pulled through to play another game on the same day. Throughout the season, the students shared around the positions and developed their skills in all areas of the sport. They all improved their marking and kicking. The transition in skill from the first game to the last was large and reflected hard work and determination to become a better team. Although the competition was tough at the start of the season, MSCW didn’t give up and did their best to defend and work towards scoring goals. Despite a good score in the semis, there was a less fortunate result for the grand final. Overall, the MCCS opens team played well and worked well as a team throughout the season.
