AFL Paul Kelly Cup State Finals
In week 6, our girls' Paul Kelly Cup AFL team took to the field for the state finals at Giants Stadium, home of the GWS Giants. Throughout three games, they secured a convincing win in one match while narrowly falling short in the other two. During the tournament, the team displayed remarkable skill and unwavering determination.
Though they didn’t make it to the semi-finals, their exceptional sportsmanship and performance were truly impressive. Congratulations to our girls for their outstanding representation of our college! Their dedication and the values they showcased are a testament to our community. They should be incredibly proud of their efforts and the example they’ve set for everyone.
Many thanks to Mr Tim Herbert for being a great coach throughout the tournament.
