The team were outstanding throughout the tournament and reached the final against CGSSSA. Despite being the better team all game, the girls were unable to capitalise on a number of goal scoring opportunities which forced the game into extra time. The game remained 0-0 at the completion of extra time which then saw the game go into a penalty shootout.

Unfortunately, CGSSSA were able to convert their opportunities from the penalty spot and took the win, leaving Wollongong Diocese as the runners up.

Although disappointed with the result, the girls played extremely well and represented themselves, their families and the College with distinction. As a bonus, Tara was named in the NSWCCC side to contest the NSW All Schools tournament later in the year. We wish Tara the best of luck in the next chapter of her football career.

Congratulations to Amy S and Ruby D who also represented the Diocese of Wollongong at the NSW Combined Catholic Colleges cross country championships held at Eastern Creek. Both girls ran extremely well, with Ruby having an outstanding run finishing in 5^th place overall to ensure her selection in the NSWCCC cross country team to contest the All Schools Championships later in the term. Good luck Ruby.
