igsa Football Round 3
The third round of the igsa Football season took place this past weekend with 11 of our 12 Pymble teams competing. Unfortunately, due to the wet weather, Pymble 9’s game was cancelled. From our 11 games that were played, we had nine wins, one draw, and one loss.
Our Senior Firsts played in a rematch of last year’s igsa grand finale against MLC. After last week’s narrow win, the team really stepped up this week to take home a 12 to 0 win.
Our Junior Firsts team held out a strong PLC Sydney for most of the game, but a late rally from the opposition resulted in a three all draw.
Our Year 7 Firsts team notched their second win of the term with an emphatic 11 to 0 win against Danebank. A huge credit to Danebank who had to play up a division this week and fought valiantly to the very end.
Our team of the week goes to our Year 7 Seconds team who had a 3 to 0 win over PLC Sydney. Makiitah Washington (Year 7) grabbed the headlines with an excellent brace. Nina Peng (Year 7) was solid as ever in the backline, shutting down every attack.

Senior First Match Report from Football Captain, Alethea Levy (Year 12)
Under clear skies and welcome sunshine, the Senior Firsts put on a commanding performance against MLC, securing a remarkable 12 to 0 win. While it may not have been the most technically refined game (on muddy fields), the team’s cohesion, energy and intent were undeniable. This could be one of the biggest wins in our igsa competition history!
Twelve goals tell the story of an outstanding attacking effort. While it’s hard to single out individual moments in such a high-scoring match, standout finishes from Havana Gray (Year 7), Willa Pearson (Year 9), and Amelia Bicego (Year 10) were particularly memorable. At the other end of the field, Amelia Brandon (Year 11) also made her mark in goal, producing two excellent saves to keep a clean sheet, keeping MLC at bay and maintaining the team’s momentum.
The match reflected the depth and determination within the squad – a collective effort that showcased our offensive strength and growing consistency in defence.
With confidence high, we’re ready to take on our biggest challenge, the doubleheader that Round 4 brings.
