Football Season Continues
Well done to all teams who played throughout the holidays – sometimes short of players – as the race to the finals of the MWFA Competition begins to take shape. The MWFA Junior Finals will take place on Sunday 19 August and all teams can expect games in the next few weeks, regardless of where they sit on their table.
Goal Keeper Training Continues
Each Wednesday afternoon on the College Oval, old boy Ryan McLean offers goalkeeper training to all the College’s teams. Commencing at 3:40pm, the hour long sessions are great for new or experienced ‘keepers’. With penalty shootouts now becoming part of the MWFA finals series in the case of tied matches, it is more important than ever that our GK’s are prepared. Come along and take away some great ‘keeping’ tips!
Players Attire – Uniform
It has become apparent that some players are wearing incorrect uniform (i.e. black sport shorts and not the correct green football shorts or socks that don’t fit correctly or have been washed that many times, they are the wrong colour). Taking the field in the correct football uniform shows pride in the school and lifts the team spirit.
Similarly, many players are arriving at their grounds in alternative jackets and hoodies and not the St Augustine's College sports jacket. Players should not be doing this and parents should not let it happen. Please ensure your match day preparations entail having the correct uniform ready to go.
