Spartan Girls Dominate Futsal Titles

After weeks of training, the time for the girls to play their Futsal Titles arrived. Thursday 6 May, players from Years 7, 8 and 9 headed to Coomera Indoor Sports Centre to compete against teams from Gold Coast and South Brisbane schools.

The Under 14 Blue team was representing our College with Lilli Hodge, Sarah McSwan, Summer Wilkinson, Ava Stephens, Jade Lee, Natalia Zotti and Emiti McNamara. The Under 14 Green team played with: Emily Nickels, Chloe Miller, Sophia O’Leary, Sasha Henrison, Pearl Shipley, and Zoe Perry.

The Blue and Green team played in two separated groups. In both groups there were very strong opponents. Both teams ended third in their group and missed out for the Finals. The girls played well and the Somerset coaches were pleased with their positive mindset and teamwork. We will keep improving and come back much stronger!

The Under 13 girls defended their South East Queensland Champion Title and gave added pressure. They needed a few minutes to get into it but the longer the tournament went on, the better the girls played. The side was undefeated in its group stage and were facing Assisi Catholic College in the Semi Finals. The Spartans won!

Our biggest rival King's Christian College waited for us in the Final. King's played some excellent Futsal in the first half, with many opportunities to score but thanks to Ari Thake, we stayed on top of King's with scores at 1-all. The second half Somerset played much better, and we found the net, taking the final score to 2 to 1 to Somerset. Well Done Livi Budd for scoring both goals.

Congratulations to Ari Thake, Georgie Zerbst, Zara Ryan, Havana Lopez, Livi Budd and Sarah Nickels.

We hope to see our girls continue their training with Coach Nigel in preparation for the QSF (Queensland School Futsal Cup).
