On Friday, April 4th, our Under 8 Somerset Football students had the incredible opportunity to attend an A-League match between Brisbane Roar and Macarthur FC at Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane, thanks to an exclusive invitation from the Brisbane Roar.

The experience was a dream come true for our young athletes. Each student received two tickets—one for themselves and one for a parent, giving families the chance to enjoy professional football up close. But the excitement didn’t end there! Our students were also invited to take part in the Half-Time Heroes activity, a thrilling opportunity to play on the pitch during the break.

At half-time, the students made their way to the field entrance, where they became the real heroes of the day. For 10 exhilarating minutes, they got to play on the actual football field in front of thousands of spectators! The adrenaline rush of performing in such a prestigious setting was unforgettable, and our young Spartans truly felt the excitement of being watched by a crowd of passionate fans.

While Macarthur FC won the match 1-4, the day was a victory for all involved. After the match, our students had the chance to meet the Brisbane Roar players, pose for photos, and even collect autographs—moments that will be cherished for a lifetime!

Thank you to Coach Deaghan, Sam, and Eric for dedicating their time and making this unforgettable experience possible for our students. 

We also want to express our gratitude to all the parents who joined us for this special day. We hope you enjoyed the experience as much as the students did!
