Sports Update

We have had a great start to school sports this year.

Our Melton Campus students participated in two SACCSS one-day tournaments last week; Senior Futsal and Intermediate Badminton.

Our futsal teams showed great sportsmanship, hard work and demonstrated fantastic resilience. Even though both teams fell short of finals, they all held their heads high and represented our College with good spirit.

Intermediate badminton was a fantastic experience for all players. Our Badminton B girls did us proud, making it into finals and just falling short of the grand final.

Our Melton Campus senior netball and cricket teams are currently first on the ladder having won three out of three games placing them in a great spot for finals.

Senior boys' futsal

On Monday 12 February, the Melton Campus senior boys’ futsal team participated in an exhilarating SACCSS tournament at the Latrobe Sports Centre.

The senior boys were successful at the beginning of the tournament with three wins and a draw, but unfortunately fell short in reaching the final after losing their last round robin game.

Year 12 student Saidi was the standout player for St Francis and finished the day as the team's top goal scorer. Overall, it was a fantastic effort by all our participants.

Senior netball

In Round 3 of the SACCSS Senior Netball competition SFCC Melton Campus played Thomas Carr College at their home ground.

Despite the high intensity game and our biggest competition to date this year, all players showed great resilience and an uplifting spirit, which led us to a win.

There was great improvement from the last game. We used rolling subs and new tactical game plays to help us win the match by 16 goals. This places us first overall on the ladder and in a great position to make finals.

Intermediate badminton

Last week, a Melton Campus team of 16 Year 10 students played a series of round robin badminton games at Eagle Stadium in Werribee.

Our players brought their best game, delivering some truly intense matches that had us all on the edge of our seats.

A big shout-out to Sophia and Samantha who made it to the semi-finals.
