Somerset Spartan Football Update

Written by Maarten De Kruijf, Head Coach - Football

Spartan Football had a great Term Two. For the first time in History our First XI Girls won the APS Premiership. The Future XI Boys and Girls participated in the Bill Turner and ISSA Cup. We played the 4v4 Lunchtime League and our Football Club teams played their games in the Football Gold Coast competitions.

First XI Girls

For the First Time in History the First XI Girls won the APS Premiership. Well done Coaches Steph Opperman and Harry McMaster. Congratulations to all Year 11 and Year 12 girls!

ISSA and Bill Turner Boys

For the Bill Turner Cup, the Under 15 Boys played against King's Christian College. The Spartans had some trouble waking up and Kings had some early goals. Attempts were made to get back in the game but the opponent was too strong. Well done to Alexander Benson for his great saves!

In the ISSA Cup, the Under 14 Boys played their first game verse Emmanuel College. Unfortunately, Leo Razack got injured in the second half. Emmanuel took advantage of this and scored the only goal of the game. We hope you have good recovery Leo! For the second and last game, we had King's Christian College visiting Somerset. King's had the best of the game and defeated us.

It was great having Hamish Peters playing Football for our Spartans. Hamish has been out for the last three years with injuries. Well back on the pitch Hamish!

ISSA and Bill Turner Girls

In the Bill Turner Trophy, the Under 15 Girls got knocked out in the quarter finals by Palm Beach Currumbin State High School. The Girls had a tough challenge playing a very experienced Under 15 side from PBC. Our girls fought hard but PBC scored the most goals.

For the ISSA Cup, the Under 14 Girls played early in Term Two against Kimberley College. The girls won their first game! This gave them confidence for the second game but we had an unlucky loss against Emmanuel College. In our last group game, we played a draw verse King's.

Well done to Havana Lopez scoring both goals! Unfortunately, this was not enough to progress to Round 2. We hope to be back in both cup tournaments next year!

4 Verse 4 Lunchtime Football League

During the Term Two lunchtime, we had Junior and Senior students playing the 4 versus 4 League.

In the Senior School finals, Year 8 boys Alexander Benson, Austin Dover, Will McMonagle and Augustine Charisiou played against Year 8 girls Emily Nickels, Abigail Brinkworth, Pearl Shipley and Sophia O’Leary. Well done to the boy’s team that won the final!

For the Juniors we had the Year 4 students Paxton Stewart, Danny Wang, Oliver Ng and Connor Millar-Martin playing versus the Year 3 students Vaughan Furlong, Henry Pevy, Hugo Hasselle and Edward Hassett. The Year 3s took the victory and can call themselves 4 Versus 4 League winners 2021! We hope to see you all back in 2022.
