Student Achievement
McAuley Cup/Shield
09 October
Our Junior Football squads took on Mercy Regional College, Camperdown, in the Annual battle for the McAuley Cup and Shield today at Sebastopol Football Club.
The Girl’s kicked of proceedings with a resounding win against a less experienced opponent, final scores Damascus 14. 8. 92 def Mercy 1. 1. 7.
Tessa Wilson was awarded the Best On Ground Medal with a dominant display in the midfield and she finished off her around the ground work with four goals.
Alice Glover was also quite prominent in front of goal with six majors.
The Boy’s came up against a much taller and stronger opponent but battled right until the end. Mercy kicked with a strong breeze in the last quarter to prevail in a close one.
Final scores Mercy 6. 6. 42 defeated Damascus 5. 4. 34.
All students displayed great teamwork, respect for the opposition and the umpires, as well as the senior students who helped officiate and assist on the day. They all should be proud of their efforts with a lot of fun had.
A huge thank you to the staff who coached and assisted on the day – Shaun O’Loughlin, Gerard Macklin, Hamish Walsh, Dani Skewes, Pat Dillon & Paul Blanchfield.
We look forward to travelling to Camperdown for the 2025 clash.
