Touch Gala Day

On the 10th of March the under 15 Girls and 9 other wild cards made our way to The Kingsway to compete in the PDSSSC Touch Football Gala Day.

The under 15 girls had the tougher of the two draws but the girls were excited to face the challenge of the opposition. In the first game we came up against St Marks and their speed of the play was impressive, they managed to win 4-0. 

Our girls learnt that the quicker you were able to release the ball when touched the easy it was to score points and in the next game we made the adjustments and scored two great tries by Esther Peter and Joey-Anne Lopez. I was good enough to secure a draw and we finally had some momentum.

The last three games we came up against three formidable sides who were too good for our girls. The shining light was Samara Brennan who managed to score a try against OLMC.

As for the 11 wild cards they were distributed into other teams to participate. All students performed well and represented St Andrews with pride. Special mention to Zaine Nassar who played for Cerdon and showed great appreciation for his team by purchasing them gatorades for each player at the end of the tournament for welcoming him to their team. 

Congratulations to all players involved and I look forward to the development of the players in the Oz-Tag Gala Day.
