Football Bill Turner Cup
Alex Powell
With what has been such an interrupted year of sport, it was great for the boys to be able to represent the College in the prestigious Bill Turner Cup. The squad consisted of a mix of exciting and talented players across Years 8 to 10. The first round of the tournament kicked off at Erina High school where the boys put in a very commanding performance to run out 14-1 winners. There was some brilliant football played with some cracking goals scored. Onto the next round where we found ourselves against a strong Terrigal High Team. After an even first half the boys started to find their stride and ran out winners thanks to a 3-1 margin. Into the semi-finals of the Central Coast region where we found ourselves up against Gosford High who we have had some great games against over the last few years. The team started really strong, dominating possession and moving the ball around with ease and precision. It was against the run of play that Gosford went 1-0 up but this did not deter the boys from playing their brand of football. We soon equalised and then laid siege to the Gosford goal, some fantastic goalkeeping and some off erratic shooting kept the game in the balance until Gosford once again scored from a break away. Into the final stages of the game the boys pushed for an equaliser and were once more undone by a quick Gosford break who ran out winners by 3-1. The team can certainly hold their heads high and both Mr Marks and I were proud of their efforts and enjoyed watching them play the beautiful game. I look forward to seeing them develop in their football journeys.
