Diocesan Soccer

On Friday 3 May, St Patrick’s College competed at the Diocesan Soccer Tournament in Nowra. Although we did not progress to the finals, the girls played amazingly and showed much dedication and team work on the day and the lead up by putting in solid training.

In our first game against St Joseph’s Albion Park we won 4 – 0 with Sianna, Tay and Sophie all scoring goals in the first half and Alannah finishing one in the second half. For this to happen, there was great footwork from Logan, Emily, Lily and Hayley to bring up the ball. We were in high spirits from our first game.

Our next two games were back to back, which wore the team down. All girls had play time on the field, even our goalies Siena and Grace. Against Mt Carmel, Charlotte scored two beautiful goals and Tay with another. Mia and Stevie worked well together at the front and middle with Amy and Jess. We had only one goal scored against us, which was very unlucky.

The third game was straight after and the team was a bit tired, but with great energy from Olivia and Sophie all game. The team hung on and it was 0-0 until the very end when Corpus Christi scored one goal that went over the goalie's head.

Our final game was against St Mary’s and it was tough. The girls hung in there and showed some great passing but unfortunately lost 0-2.

Our MVP was Olivia H who stayed calm and collected in the back and defended so beautifully. Thank you to all the parents, grandparents and family members who came out to support the girls on the windy, cold and wet day. We appreciate your ongoing support. Also thank you to Liam Rixon for driving us to Nowra.
