FOOTBALL CAPTAIN’S REPORT

Football Skills

In Term 1, Pymble Football offered preseason skills training to prepare the girls for the Term 2 IGSA Football competition. The sessions focused on a variety of new skills and techniques that contributed to the girls’ confidence.

Term 2 IGSA Football

In 2021, Pymble entered 15 teams in the IGSA Football competition. The short seven-week competition meant most divisions were decided on points at the end of the final round. It was a fantastic season with nine of the 15 teams finishing in the top four. Congratulations to Pymble 1, Pymble 2, Pymble 9 and Pymble 13 who were crowned IGSA Champions for their respective divisions! Thank you to all students who participated with enthusiasm each week and to the coaches for their dedication and innovation at trainings and matches.

CIS Cup Knockout Competition

The Pymble Senior Firsts Football team started the knockout CIS Cup Football season with a strong 22 to 1 win over Nowra Anglican College in the second round of the competition. The team progressed to another win against Roseville Anglican College and then into the quarter finals against PLC Sydney where they scored another victory. The team faced Central Coast Sport College in the semifinals and played a competitive match at Valentines Sports Park, winning 2 to 1 to progress to the grand final against Mamre Anglican College. Unfortunately, the grand final was unable to proceed however the girls in the team and training squad should be commended for their efforts during the year. Congratulations to the Senior Firsts Year 12 students who dedicated their high school years to Pymble Football and finished their season as undefeated IGSA Senior First Champions and CIS Cup Champions, a well-deserved finale. Well done Tara Watson, Monique Goyen, Tess Rickard, Shivani Mehta, Eloise Jones, Bo Burton and Sarah Hunter, Year 12.

Futsal Regional Championships

Pymble entered four teams in the NSW Futsal Regional Championships which were held on the Central Coast. Our Primary team (Years 5 and 6) and Opens team (Years 10, 11 and 12) were given entry straight through to the State competition. Congratulations to the Under 14 team (Year 7) and the Under 16 team who were both undefeated champions! The State and National events for 2021 were cancelled.

Representative Achievements

Congratulations to Sarah Hunter, Year 12, who was selected and played in the Women’s League Western Sydney Wanderers team for the 2020/2021 season while balancing Year 12 and Pymble Football. Sarah played nine matches for the club and scored two goals. Sarah was also selected in the training camp for the Young Matildas squad. Well done, Sarah! Laura Wilson, Year 11, and Tara Watson, Year 12, were selected for the IGSA Football Open Representative team which competed at the CIS Football Championships in Term 2. Tara was then selected for the CIS Representative team which competed at the NSW All Schools Football Championships. Finally, congratulations to every student who participated in the Pymble Football program in 2021 and thank you to all the coaches for their hard work and dedication. It was one of the most successful and enjoyable seasons to date!

JUNIOR SCHOOL FOOTBALL REPORT

In Term 1 many girls in the Junior School played football as their Saturday sport. During training, everyone worked hard to improve their skills and found areas of strength in the game. This could be strong on the ball, quick skills to get past people and accurate strong passes and shots. At the end of each match the coaches would talk to us about what we did well and what we needed to improve on, then in our training sessions we would work on the parts we needed to be better at.

Football was a favourite Saturday sport for the girls and the coaches.

No matter how hard the opposition was, the players and coaches always tried to have fun and play at the top of their game every match!
