Champions!! U9 and U12 football teams. U7 also near the top.

Congratulations to our U9 and U12 teams for winning their divisions in the Primary football league. It has been a long and hard league and the final matches were spectacular with some close calls. Thanks to all the supporting parents, teachers and friends who came out to see the matches and to cheer the teams on. Read about the match in the news.

Not to forget our U7 team who ended up at 3rd place (or 4th – waiting for confirmation) though they did not play their final match as both teams were not informed of the final. They did well in this league.
