GIRLS FOOTBALL

On Thursday the 18^th of May, 19 students ventured to Riverton Oval to take on Riverton/Burra/Eudunda and Clare in Round 1 of the Girls Football Competition. Sasha Branson was named Captain for the day and was well support by Vice Captains Jenaya White and Abbey Fagan.

The day started well with Captain Sasha winning the toss. It was raining goals with Charlotte Moore and Nicola Tiller kicking three apiece while Amber Day, Maylea Carpenter, Jenaya White and Sasha Branson chimed in with one goal each. The team were ferocious in their work rate and followed Coach Parson's directions to a tee. Best players in the win against Riverton/Burra/Eudunda were Sasha Branson, Jenaya White, Maylea Carpenter, Nicola Tiller, Charlotte Branson and Charlotte Moore.

In Game 2 the girls fought hard against a competitive Clare side. Despite having plenty of inside 50s in the first quarter, the team couldn’t apply any scoreboard pressure. Clare used the breeze to their advantage in the second quarter and rolled on to a comfortable win. It was pleasing to see the ‘never say die’ attitude, especially from a brave Chelsea Michalanney who continually put her head over the ball for the team. Best players in Game 2 were Sasha Branson, Abbey Fagan, Alexa Young, Maylea Carpenter, Lily Tiller and Tori McMillan.

A special mention to our Year 7 representatives who showed incredible pride and courage to play against older students. They not only held their own but featured in the best players, well done to Tahlia Zerk, Ruby Lemon, Brianna Young, Tori McMillan and Alexa Young.

Thanks to Mr Parsons for driving the bus and coaching the team and to Emmalee Bentley for taking photos and providing First Aid assistance.
