Captains’ Reports
2nd XI
3rd XI
The 2013 college football season went really well
for the team. The team had a mix of year 11 and
12’s. We put a good effort in during the grading
games and ourselves in division 5. The team had
some great wins and some bad loses but we all
worked together and kept our heads up high.
The team always stepped up to the mark even
when we were short of players. It was good being
part of a committed team and having committed
coaches. Mr Chris Gibbons and Mr Derek Higgins
always encouraged us to do our best. One of the
best highlights of the season was the tour. It was
awesome fun and all the guys had a great time.
Even the long trips in the van were good fun and
one of the best parts of the trip. We had great
success both on the tour and during the season.
It was unfortunate that we did not make the finals
but the team still played hard and of course we
enjoyed playing football which is after all what
it is all about. Thank you to all the parents who
encouraged us at all the games.
This year was a fantastic
season for the 3rd XI. As
a team made up of only
year 13 our intention was
to have a good time on a
Saturday afternoon. We
achieved this goal as well
as finishing second in
the championship round.
From here we played in
the final against Wellington High School 4 and
we came away 3-1 victors.
Our other achievements
for the team were that
the boys bonded as mates and fought hard on
the pitch. The 3rd XI even had a cult following this
season with a large number of spectators coming
to each game. They really enjoyed the entertainment that the team provided by playing attractive
football and scoring many really attractive goals
as well as defending in style. A big thank you to
our coach, Mr Higson, for all the effort he put into
Bradley Gibbons. (Captian)
This year our 4 XI football team
was put into division 12. Our
team consisted of experenced
and also inexperienced first
time players. With the help
of Mr McKay our new players
quickly gained the desired basic
skills and we bonded to form
a team that could rival bigger,
older and more experienced
teams. At the beginning we
were clearly the underdogs but
no one expected us to score

some magnificent goals which
helped us to finish a very creditable 3rd. Our top goal scorers
were: Thomas Josephson, Alex
Nelson, and Bradley Kitt. A very
big thank you to Mr McKay, Mr
Nelson, the parents and supporters for helping us achieve
our goal. Thank you for a great
season.

The season started slowly and we
were placed in division 3 for our
grading games. This grade was
full of junior first teams and we
struggled and had 5 big losses.
We were then placed in division
5 which was better for us. From
the next 7 games we won 3, drew
1 and lost 3. We scored 28 goals
and conceded 20. This was a great
turnaround from last season where
we lost every game. It was really
great the way most of the team
stayed together and worked very
hard to make the season a success.
It was really great to see that all the
players worked very hard and it was
the new players to the team that
showed us the way. We came 5th
in the division and missed out on
a finals play off by 10 minutes and
