Paul Kelly Cup
On Tuesday, July 30th, our incredible St Greg’s girls’ Paul Kelly Cup team took centre stage at the Regional Finals in Blacktown, facing off against the top teams in the region. With a fierce spirit and determination, our girls were ready to showcase their skills in four action-packed games.
The tournament kicked off with a thrilling match against Holy Family Primary School from Kelso. We set the tone with a brilliant opening kick that led to an early goal, but despite their valiant efforts, the final score was a narrow 22-12 loss as the final buzzer echoed through the field.
Undeterred, the girls powered through their second game against St Michael’s Baulkham Hills, demonstrating their prowess and teamwork with an impressive 22-7 victory.
Finishing second in their pool, St Greg’s faced off against fierce local rivals St Clare’s Primary School. The game was a nail-biter, marked by the stellar defence, strategic plays, and some lucky kicks despite challenging windy conditions. The score was tied when the full-time buzzer sounded, leading to an exhilarating 10 minutes of extra time. With hearts racing, the match remained deadlocked until a decisive free-kick gave our girls the edge, securing their spot in the Grand Final!
With only a brief 5-minute break to recharge, the team quickly regrouped and prepared for their final showdown against Holy Family. Despite exhaustion, the girls gave their all in this last game, showcasing incredible perseverance and teamwork. Their efforts earned them the title of Runners-Up for the day.
Congratulations to our amazing girls for their outstanding performance, sportsmanship, and resilience. A big thank you to Mr. Tim Herbert and Miss Cecil for their management and support throughout the competition.
