On Wednesday, all of our boys in Years 5 & 6 took part in a football match against Chinthurst School. We split into 2 teams, with the ‘A’ team playing a 40 minute match on the grass, and the ‘B’ team playing a round robin 6-a-side competition on the MUGA.
A team:
The team fought really well during the game, particularly in the first half. Despite trailing on a number of occasions, the team were quick to equalise and reduced the deficit to 3-2 at half time. The second half didn’t quite work as efficiently with Chinthurst scoring some early goals to put victory out of reach for Oakhyrst. We did pull a late goal back to respectively half Chinthurst’s score. It was a great game and everyone played with the right spirit and attitude.
Final result: 8-4
Goal scorers: Jude, Milan (2) & Caiden.
Player of the match: Milan
B team:
This was most of the boys’ first football fixture so a mixture of excitement and nervousness was present. The team played 2 matches against both Chinthurst teams. The results didn’t go Oakhyrst’s way however they showed great improvement and effort throughout. Some excellent saves were made by our goalkeepers as well as Charlie scoring our only goal of the afternoon.
Player of the team: Rahnal
A great effort by everyone and we look forward to the next football fixture against Essendene Lodge in December.
