East Perth Football District – Girls Year 8/9 Lightning Carnival

On Thursday 6 November, a selected number of Year 8/9 students participated in the East Perth Girls AFL Football Lightning Carnival. Football is truly a game for everyone, with 12 different girls teams involved. The carnival was held at Houghton Park in Bayswater.

  

The Year 8/9 Girls Lightning Carnival involved playing local schools within the East Perth Football Club district. These schools included St Andrew’s College, Perth College, Hampton SHS, Aranmore Catholic College, John Forrest College and Ellenbrook Christian College.

Holy Cross College nominated two teams, a Year 8 and a Year 9 team, which were coached by Mrs Davini and Mrs de Courcier. The two teams played extremely well and made huge improvements from last year’s results. The Year 8s managed one win, narrowly missing out on another by one point. The Year 9s won three of their five games.  The students were passionate about their football and their skills and game play were impressive. Well done, girls.
