Football
The final round of the igsa Football Season took place this past weekend with all 12 of our Pymble teams competing. Our Senior Firsts and Junior Firsts played their catch-up double header round instead of finals. There were seven wins, four losses, and three draws across all 14 fixtures. From 12 teams, two teams were undefeated, three placed as division winners, three placed as runners-up, and two teams finished third. More importantly, we saw a tremendous growth in the skills of our students, tons of respect shown to the opposition, and plenty of smiles, laughs, and good times.
Our Senior Firsts team reclaimed their trophy by winning the S01 division. A hard earned 2 to 1 win over Meriden and a 5 to 0 win against Roseville in the second game of the day, meant our Pymble footballers won all seven games.
Our Senior Seconds, Pymble 2, went into the final game of the season undefeated. However, they came up against the other undefeated team, Monte 2. Our girls went 1 to 0 up but unfortunately fell to a 3 to 1 win which left them as commendable runners-up. Well done girls!
Our Senior Thirds, Pymble 3, claimed the S07 title with a hard fought 4 to 3 win against Brigidine. Our girls started with a loss in Round 1 and then went on to win their next six matches. Well done girls!
Our Senior Fifths, Pymble 5, went undefeated all term and finished as runners-up in S09. Well done girls!
Our Year 7 teams had a tremendous first year of igsa Football. Our Year 7 Firsts, Pymble 11, finished runners up in the top Year 7 division. With a loss in Round 1 to the eventual champions, our girls went on to win the remainder of their matches. Our Year 7 Seconds, Pymble 12, went one better with a first-place finish in the Y705 division. Well done to all Year 7 girls!
Finally, a huge thank you to all students, parents, staff, and coaches, that made igsa football this term so enjoyable. To our Year 12 girls that have played their last football matches at Pymble, thank you for the legacy you have left behind.

Senior Firsts match report from Football Captain, Alethea Levy (Year 12)
What an honour and privilege it’s been to be the Senior Firsts captain this year.
We headed into our final double-header round knowing we had to win against Meridan, another undefeated team. The sun was out, but as always, the Loreto fields brought their own challenges. We opened the scoring with my corner delivery finding Eve Goldsworthy (Year 10), who put us up 1 to 0. Early in the second half, some confusion during stopped play saw the score level at 1 to 1. Through brilliant teamwork up the field, I was able to score, bringing us to 2 to 1. This ended up being the final score, putting us one step closer to securing the igsa trophy.
In what was a fiercely competitive and high-pressure match, Pymble’s values of sportsmanship, resilience and fair play truly shone through. I’m so proud of these girls!
Huge credit to our backline: Eve Goldsworthy (Year 10), Catherine Yu (Year 7), Claudia Stretton (Year 10), and Mary Staciwa (Year 11), who were consistently solid and made sure we held the lead.
Our second game, against Roseville, saw our attack really start to fire. There were some tough midfield battles, with shots flying from both sides. Emily Visser (Year 12) made her last school game one to remember, scoring goal after goal. Willa Pearson (Year 9) and Havana Gray (Year 7) also found the back of the net, showing that the Pymble future in football is very bright. We wrapped up the game 5 to 0.
I’m incredibly proud of this team. To the Year 12 girls — Anika Watson, Emily Visser and Laura Januszek — what a way to finish. And to our younger players, there’s so much talent coming through. In you, and your 2026 captain Amelia Brandon (Year 11), we trust to keep the igsa trophy safe.
A big thank you to our coach Ally and Mr Wood for your coaching, support and guidance throughout the season.
