Firsts
The Firsts faced off against King’s in the final round of the GPS competition. This was the final game to secure a spot in the top group for the Combined Competition in Term 1. King’s boasted a formidable lineup with a strong goalkeeper and centre forward. The key to success was in the strong emphasis on defence.
JJ B effective communication and centre-back skills formed the bedrock of the team’s defence in conjunction with Alex W’s outstanding top corner saves in goals. Calvin S and Jett S showcased their customary counter-attack skills. Anderton S was dominant in centre forward and helped create many goal scoring opportunities, including Charlie K with a textbook perfect outside goal. A stellar performance from the team resulted in a 8 – 3 win and top three finish in the GPS, ready to play for the Combined Competition trophy in Term 1. The Firsts, Seconds and 16As will also compete this Saturday in the round-robin Thomas Whalan Cup to determine the best school in the GPS.

The 15Bs continued their winning form of late with a strong display against an equally tenacious opponent. The game began with a challenging first quarter, with Shore going to the break up by two goals. The second quarter was all Shore, with a further four goals and some strong saves at the back by Nick W, Hudson C and Ewan D-V equally dominant in defence. The second half saw Riverview get back into the game with four goals, however by this stage, the damage had been done, and Shore’s dominance across the pool saw the end result finish 11 – 4 to Shore. Goal scorers were Ben G, Sam C, Oliver G and Finn H. A great end to the Term with hopefully more success in Term 1 2024.
