142 students from Year 7 to 12 represented Kew High School at the State Futsal Titles this term. With the girls playing at Victoria University and the boys at Monash University, we entered 16 teams – more than ever before.
The following teams qualified for the National Futsal Titles in Brisbane in November by winning their respective competitions:
YEAR 11 BOYS: Under 19 Champions (defeated Beacon Hills College in the Grand Final)
YEAR 10 BOYS: Under 16 Champions (defeated Kew High in the Grand Final)
YEAR 9 BOYS: Under 15 Champions (defeated Haileybury in the Grand Final)
Special mention also must go to:
YEAR 10 BOYS B-TEAM: Under 16 Runners Up
YEAR 8 GIRLS: Under 15 Girls Runners Up (lost to Southern Cross Grammar in the Grand Final)
YEAR 8 BOYS: lost semi-final to Haileybury
YEAR 7 GIRLS: lost semi-final to Southern Cross Grammar
YEAR 7 BOYS: lost semi-final to St Monica’s.
Huge thanks to past students Sam, Marcus, Bilal, Ayub, Ollie, Jett and Sophie who coached teams along with current students Vasili, Matt, Gio, Andrew, Samir, George, Jack and Jo. And of course, thanks to our students. They give up their lunchtimes to train and essentially coach themselves prior to match days. We have excellent representatives and could not be prouder of their achievements.
Next term, our focus shifts to the Kew Premier League as Year 9-12 students vie for the Sayid Cup.
