Football Club Presentation and Senior School Football Celebration

Somerset Spartans Football Club Presentation was held at the season's end in Term Three, along with the first edition of the Football Celebration.

Football Club Presentation

The 2022 was a very successful season for our Football Club, with a total number of 100 Junior School students and 14 Senior School students. With a total of 12 teams playing in the FQ South Coast ALDI Miniroos competition and one team in the FQ South Coast competition. 

Congratulations to our Under 16 Girls that reached for the second year in a row the finals. Unfortunately, we lost in the Semi-Final.

On Saturday September 3 we organised the end of the Football Club season with our annual Football Club Presentation day. At the presentation all students received their team photo and Football Club medal. For the Under 6, 7, 8 and 9 we had Marty the Spartan helping us present. 

Thank you to former Socceroo Michael Thwaite who assisted us with the presentations for the Under 10, 11 and 12. Thank you to our students, coaches, volunteers, parents, supporters and sponsors for the great season. We hope to see you all back next year!

Football Celebration

On the final day of Term Three, Somerset Football organised the first edition of Somerset’s Football Celebration. The celebration is our moment to thank the First XI Students and Staff for the Football Season. At the start of the celebration, we played football matches. We had invited the First XI Alumni students to make a First XI Alumni team. They played games versus a combined boys and girls First XI 2022 team and our Staff Football team. Our Football staff played also versus our First XI 2022 students. The Alumni side won both games and won the first edition of our Football Celebration. It was great welcoming back our former students.

At the end of the celebration, we presented our students with awards.
