St Ursula’s students take part in big victory at NSWCCC Soccer Tournament
Daniela Mandile and myself were fortunate enough to represent the CGSSSA Soccer Team in the 
NSWCCC Tournament, which took place on Tuesday, 26 and Wednesday, 26 May
Subsequent to the CGSSSA Tournament, where our St Ursula’s side made it to the grand final, Daniela and I were selected along with other students from the Gala Day to represent the CGSSSA Team.
We were selected to participate in the NSWCCC Tournament, where we versed Catholic students from around NSW. Here is how the tournament unfolded:
The tournament began with our first game at 8:40am against SCC, where we came out on top with a 4-0 victory. The next match kicked off not long after at 11:20am and saw us beat Maitland/Newcastle 2-0. Our last game of the day was against Wagga Wagga/Canberra-Goulburn, where we had a comfortable win of 5-0. Finishing the day off with three wins and conceding no goals, saw us in a good position of making the grand final.
To ensure a spot in the final, the following day our 4th and final game kicked off at 12:40pm against Southern Sydney. Being down 1-0 at halftime, we were able to get an equalizer to make it 1-1. Finishing the pool games without a defeat, we were rewarded with a place in the grand final up against the leader of Pool A.
The grand final kicked off at 2pm and saw our CGSSSA side come up against Wollongong to decide the winner. Although the game was tight, we were able to come away with a 1-0 victory sealing the spot of winners of the Tournament.
Unfortunately, neither Dani nor myself were selected to represent the NSWCCC Team in the next stage, however we were very proud of our efforts.
