Sapsasa Knockout Girls’ and Boys’ Football

The Girls’ football game was played on Thursday 7th June against Reynella East at Reynella East School. The girls tried really hard, tackled intently and put 100% effort in for the whole game. We unfortunately lost the game 4 goal 3 (27 points) to 2 goal 4 (16 points) which means we are now “knocked out” of the competition. Congratulations to the girls and their coaches Archie, Brandon and Thomas for their efforts at practice and on the day. Thanks to Tyann for accompanying us on the bus and to the parents who came and cheered us on.

 

The Boys’ football game was played on Friday 8th June at Victor Harbor High against Investigator. Our team had dwindled to 17 players before the first bounce, due to injury and absence. The boys tried really hard all day but were outmanned and out run, being defeated by a very experienced opposition. Every boy tried their hardest right until the final siren. We are now “knocked out” of the competition and have no further games for the rest of the year. Thank you to Brett for coaching the team and running practices with the boys, to the parents who watched and supported the students and to Paul Loughead and the students in the AFL program for officiating and organising the football game for us. This continued support from our local High School is greatly appreciated.
