AFL Senior Schools Cup

Our Open Boys AFL team had a strong showing at the AFL North Coast Senior Schools Cup, starting the day with two dominant wins over Hastings Secondary College and St Columba Anglican School from Port Macquarie to secure their place in the final. Goal kickers throughout the day included Ashton Herbert, James Watson, Sonny Colyer, and Iggy Hibberd.

Despite their early success, the boys faced a well-drilled Mackillop College side in the final and were unable to come away with the win. Congratulations to the team on a fantastic effort and for representing the school with determination and pride. Thanks to Mr Kurt Marle and Mr Matthew Quinton for all the time and effort they put into coaching and supporting the team.
