Day 2 | Tournament Update
Another windy day in Auckland, and another two wins for the team!
We opened with a hard-fought 1–0 win over Pakuranga College on a slippery, muddy field. A smart tactical call from captain Isabella Key saw us play into the wind in the first half, tire our opponents out, and Riley Downes popped up with the winner!
Our afternoon game saw us dominate possession and play some excellent football, finishing with a convincing 4–0 win over Waitākere College.
2 – Isla Jones
1 – Isabella Key (free kick)
1 – Ella Campbell
Captain Narah de Farias led the team in the second game, bringing the vibes and keeping the energy high!
We head into our final pool game tomorrow with a top-two finish in sight. Let’s go!
The Junior Boys Football team had a fantastic day today, securing two impressive wins to finish second in their group and advance to the Top 8!
The first game saw the boys put in a dominant performance, beating Bethlehem College 10–0.
The second game against Ormiston College was a must-win to secure a place in the Top 8, and the boys delivered with an excellent 6–0 victory.
The boys now progress to the Quarter Finals of the Top 8 tomorrow, where they face Westlake Boys High School, last year’s tournament winners.
