SPORTS REPORT

Boys Soccer – Round 6 of the PSSA Knockout

On Thursday 23 August our soccer dream unfortunately cameto an end. We travelled down to Sydney to play a very strongNeutral Bay team only to go down 8-2. However, I don’t wantto focus on the negative. I am extremely proud of the boysfor the determination and sportsmanship that they displayedthroughout the tournament. It was an absolute pleasure tocoach and work with such a great bunch of boys. Reachingthe semi-final of the Sydney North competition is an amazingaccomplishment. I am already looking forward to the 2019competition where I hope we will go that little bit further.

I would also really like to thank the parents and families for theirongoing support. It is always great to see the school communityget behind our sporting teams. Thanks Kariong!
