We versed Lake Boga/ Beverford last Wednesday night. We took the kick off with Vetaya in goals. Thomas was defending very well. Vetaya making a super save jamming his legs together for a brilliant wall. Thomas reading the play perfectly with a superb intercept. Spectacular play by both teams passing, saving and great teamwork. Marshal with a super goal high into the corner of the net after some fantastic teamwork. Josh playing like a superstar showing persistence and determination. Vetaya was a ball magnet with the ball just attracted to him so he could deflect it away. Isis took the goalie top in the second half. Marshal with a very controlled goal shortly into the second half. He took it for a run down the wing, dodging and weaving and slotted it from out near the sideline. Sharni with a great defensive deflection away from the goal. We were really under the pump defensively with Lake Boga/ Beverford applying a lot of pressure. Everyone was playing brilliantly. Marshal with a bit of pace and an atomic blast of a kick from the defensive quarter saw the goalie fumble it over the line. The final score was 3-5 with the game very close until Lake Boga/ Beverford getting a couple of quick goals in the last five minutes. We had the bye this week and next week we play Swan Hill Primary at 6:45pm. Josh and Sharni have the bye. 100 Reading Nights in Terms 1 and 2 Congratulations to the following students for achieving 100 nights or above in reading for terms 1 and 2.

REGIONAL SOCCER Congratulations to our combined small schools soccer team who performed to the best of their ability yesterday at Regional level. Coach Caity gathered the team for a quick pep talk before their first game against Bendigo s Quarry Hill unfortunately going down (Quarry Hill ended up in the Grand Final). The team kept their heads held high going into round two against Echuca, another tough side, however scored our first goal for the day. We moved into round three with our goalie Ethan, determined to keep the score low. Sean with his fancy foot work worked the ball around the field to help score our second goal for the day. However even with no wins on the board, our team stood proud of our achievements and are ready to do it all again next year!! This was an awesome achievement as none of the small schools have got to this stage for a very long time. We are all proud of you.
