The highlight of the week came from the Year 10 Football team, who secured a thrilling 87–85 victory over Emmanuel in one of the most exciting matches of the season. The game remained in the balance throughout before Salesian held their nerve to record an important win. The Year 10 Soccer team also produced a competitive performance away to De La Salle. Despite trailing early, the team fought back strongly before eventually going down 4–3 in a closely contested encounter. Year 9 teams faced difficult opposition across both soccer and badminton. The Year 9 Soccer side battled against a strong St Bernard’s outfit, while the Year 9 Badminton team came up against an excellent Mazenod team. Unfortunately, both teams fell short of a win.
