MISA 7-8 Boys Soccer

The MISA 7–8 Boys Soccer team had a very strong season. From the first kick-off to the final whistle of the year, the boys showed how much they had grown as a team.They saved their best for last, defeating the very side that would go on to make the grand final. It was a team full of commitment and desperation, full of determined tackles, smart passing, great goalkeeper saves and well-taken goals. 

Despite this statement victory, the team missed a place in the grand final by the narrowest of margins. Still, their season stands as a testament to hard work and resilience. Every player can be proud of how far they have come and the way they finished—on a high, with a win that showed just what they are capable of.

Congratulations to all the players on an outstanding season.

MISA 7-9 Girls Soccer

The Girls 7-9 MISA Soccer Team ended the season on a high note, winning the entire competition, going undefeated and being the first SFCC girls soccer team to win the MISA competition. From our attack all the way down to our keeper, our team only conceded 1 goal, which shows just how strong our structure is and how well we worked together as a team. As a team we faced our ups and downs, with challenges and girls showing teamwork to jump into action, leaving the team with a well deserved result. The determination and commitment demonstrated by the girls, whether it was through attending weekly training sessions at break time or simply showing respect to each other on the field no matter the circumstance really made our team and SFCC as a community shine against the competition.

A massive shoutout to Ms Jamieson for being an awesome supercoach, always encouraging and motivating the girls to reach their full potential on and off the field. The constant motivation and commitment to the team really meant a lot and the girls are forever grateful for such an amazing coach. Another shoutout to the assistant coach Mia and referee Accalia for being our support system and assisting when faced a challenge. A huge thank you to you both as without the little things, the big things wouldn’t be possible.

For me, Suhani, from a captains perspective, the girls from year 7 stepping up and facing the bigger girls from year 9 and still managing to give your all and beat them is a credit to you. The older girls showing leadership and being those role models for the girls to look up to was a huge role to you guys so well done to you as well. To Ms Jamieson, we wouldn’t have been able to achieve this without your constant support and encouragement so thank you so so much for just being you!
