After a successful home and away season, the Year 7 NEAS girls netball team finished in second place on the ladder allowing them to progress to the grand final against their archenemies Swan Valley. The girls played well creating some quick breaks through the centre court but unfortunately lost control of the play too easily giving Swan Valley Anglican too many opportunities to shoot, losing them the game. Throughout the season the girls showed commitment to training and displayed great sportsmanship. The team should be congratulated for their efforts this season.
The Year 8/9 boys NEAS team was a strong contingent of soccer players with plenty of talent to work with. The boys managed to go the whole season undefeated before going down courageously in the final 2-1. It was a see sawing battle that saw our Holy Cross boys control the majority of possession. After a goal from the opponent due to an unfortunate penalty, the boys rallied and managed to equalise on the stroke of half time through a wonder strike from Connor. With a lot of confidence going into the second half, the boys continued to control the possession but struggled to make it count on the scoreboard. With 10 minutes to play Swan Valley were able to play a through ball against the tide and squeeze one past our goal keeper, Brenton, who has been fantastic all season. The boys worked tirelessly for the whole competition and should be applauded for their fantastic efforts.
A special thanks goes to those teachers who coached the teams, as well as the students who volunteered their time to referee and coach: Lauren Ford, Amy Dangerfield, Isabella Busby-Daly, Tristen Chilman, Scott Varady, Alyssa Kinkaid and also Shannon Hardingham for coming along and supporting the netball girls at their games.
