YEAR 8 BOYS SOCCER SMR FINALS
The Year 8 Boys Soccer team travelled to Kingston Heath on Thursday 13 August for the Southern Metro Regional Tournament.
The day started well against Frankston when David Kang scored after Zephyr Barbersmith's shot rebounded off the post. The half-time lead disappeared when Frankston scored two quick goals midway through the second half. A late equaliser by Giorgios Sarantinos gave us a deserved point in a very high-quality game.
In the next game against Port Melbourne, we again took the lead when Zephyr Barbersmith's long-range blast rocketed into the top corner. Toby Collier made a couple of outstanding saves to preserve the lead before a breakaway goal gave Port an equaliser right on half-time. Another quick counterattack early in the second half put Port in front and, despite our best efforts, they scored late to secure a 3-1 victory. Unfortunately, this eliminated us from the tournament.
