Interboys Soccer Team: Division 2 Grand Final

This season has been a great one for our Interboys Soccer Team, resulting in a tense Division 2 grand final that showcased the boys’ skill, determination, and teamwork throughout the season. I would like to thank all the players for their consistent effort and sportsmanship.

After a strong start to the season with convincing wins against Xavier College, St Luke’s Catholic College, and St Gregory’s College, the team faced some challenges, including narrow losses against Bede Polding College and St Gregory’s College the second time, when a few players were unavailable. These experiences only strengthened the team’s resilience and determination heading into the finals.

In the semi-final against St Columba’s Catholic College, the boys held firm in defence throughout the on-and-off rain to secure a 1-0 victory. The grand final against St Dominic’s College (White) was a challenging contest. After a tough first half defending in a 4-4-2 formation, the team switched to a 4-3-3, creating multiple scoring opportunities. The match ended 0-0 after full-time, sending us straight into a penalty shootout. With 11 shots on goal, we gained an advantage after the sixth goal, and the shootout concluded dramatically with our keeper scoring a brilliant strike off the side post and into the back of the net to seal an 11-all draw. Both teams were crowned Division 2 winners.

Congratulations to the boys on a great season. It has been a rewarding experience to see many of the players grow from their debut in Year 7 through to their final school game in Year 10. I wish our Year 9 players all the best as they step into leadership roles for the team in 2026.
