On Tuesday, a group of Year 11/12 students competed in the Division 1 Statewide Touch Football competition at City Touch. Whilst the girls faced some tough competition on the day, the quality of play was outstanding! They gave the winning side, Marryatville, a real run for their money – falling short by only 3 trys. After being hit with both intense heat and harsh rains, the day finished with a tied match against Cedar College. At the conclusion of the matches, our girls were specifically commended by the referees for their honesty, communication and respect for opposition teams. We are so proud of the girls’ efforts! Stay tuned for notices regarding Year 9/10 touch football trials in the coming weeks.
