ACC Football
Senior Football- The senior football boys had a home final against the strongest school in the ACC division 2 St. Joseph’s FTG. The boys started very slow with being down 45-8 at half time. The boys had a stronger 3rd quarter with kicking a few goals with the wind. In the end the boys didn’t have the best day on the football field. The boys ended up losing 42-92. Pretty disappointing for the boys. They have finished the season for the year. Well done to all the boys, they will remember this season for a very long time and for being the last one for the college as well. Amongst the best were Angus Stanton, Calvin Lehr and Nic Clifton.
Year 8 Football- The year 8 football boys travelled down to Wally Tew Reserve to take on one of the strongest sides all year in St. Joseph’s FTG. They started very slowly with being down at half time by 35 points. St. Joseph’s FTG continued their form into the second half with winning their match by 50 points. Well done to all the boys from going from last year with not winning many games into this year with playing a semi final against a very strong school in St. Joseph’s FTG. Amongst the best were Zac Bayard, Lucas Smith and Jackson Cerovac. Well done boys and hopefully next year it can be a different result.
Year 7 Football- The year 7 football boys travelled down with the year 8’s to Wally Tew Reserve. They took on St. Joseph’s FTG, which were the only side to defeat Salesian College at home. The boys started very well with being only 5 points down at half time. The boys needed a massive second half with St. Joseph’s FTG continuing their form and winning the match by 7 points in the end. Well done for everyone and what a way to start the season with nearly winning a semi-final against one of the stronger schools. Well done boys and yet another match where the coaches couldn’t select there best for the match. Well done boys!
