Diocesan Open Boys Soccer

On April 8th the Open Boys Soccer team made their way down to Myimbarr Community Park, Shellharbour for the Diocesan Soccer Gala Day.

The Open Boys Soccer Team put in a strong and determined performance at the recent Gala Day Tournament, navigating a challenging group stage that included the eventual two grand finalists. While the results on paper were mixed, the team demonstrated excellent cohesion, skill, and sportsmanship throughout the day.

From the first whistle, it was clear the boys had come to compete. They opened the tournament with a confident result, showing sharp passing and clinical finishing in front of goal. Despite facing tough competition in the next matches, the boys held their own, playing with great spirit and tactical discipline.

A particular highlight came in their second game, with a resounding win, where the team rallied together and executed a composed and well-structured game plan. The midfield showed great control, the defense remained solid under pressure, and the forwards made the most of their opportunities.

By the end of the day, the team finished equal 3rd in their group—a remarkable achievement given the calibre of their opponents. Their efforts and positive attitude did not go unnoticed, earning praise from both coaches and spectators for their resilience and teamwork.

Congratulations to all the players involved. A special mention goes to the students who were selected for the representative team following their performances on the day. Their selection is a testament not only to their individual skill and consistency, but also to the way they contributed to the team’s overall success. These players stood out for their leadership on the field, composure under pressure, and ability to lift those around them. We wish them all the best as they move forward to represent the school at a higher level.

Well done boys!
