U15 South Island Football Tournament

By Matthew Dadley | Posted: Wednesday September 6, 2023

The Year 10 team had the good fortune of attending their tournament in Dunedin, enjoying a week of sun and warmth and playing quality football to match.

The hometown advantage favoured us right up to the point at which it didn’t - the final against Christ’s College. A 2 - nil loss the only rain cloud in an otherwise fine week of football.

Well done to the team for placing second in the South Island, and thank you to family, friends, and colleagues who came to our games to cheer us on.
