Football
The first round of the IGSA Football season was held on Saturday 4 May with eight of our Pymble teams competing. Unfortunately, six teams had games cancelled due to wet weather. From the eight games played, Pymble achieved six wins and two close losses.
Our Senior Firsts team achieved a solid 6 to 0 win against Queenwood. A very composed and dominant display ended with Emily Visser (Year 11) scoring four goals.
Our Junior Firsts team started their season with an impressive 6 to 0 win over Ascham. Our Pymble juniors haven’t lost a game in over two years and will look to maintain their dominance over the competition for the season ahead.
Our Year 7 Firsts team achieved an amazing 6 to 1 win, giving them the confidence they needed after a disappointing 2023 season. A fantastic display of football saw the team notch six goals against Loreto Kirribilli.
Our Senior Seconds had a fantastic game, defeating Mount St. Benedict’s Senior Firsts team. A brilliant defensive performance by Lauren Gibson (Year 11) help set the tone for the game. Our two social Year 12 teams, Pymble 5 and Pymble 8, starting the season with two high energy performances. Pymble 3 continued from where they left off from last season, with another win against a strong Abbotsleigh team. Finally, Pymble 13 had a close encounter with Kambala, ending in a 1 to 0 loss. A special thanks to our Pymble 14 students who filled in for some absences.
