Sports Report Term 3, Week 8

Junior League Football Semi-finals

On Saturday 7 September, the Radford U16 Girls and U16 Open Division 1 Football teams competed in their semi-finals. The U16 Girls were the better team but an awkward bounce leading to a handball and subsequent free kick in prime territory was the decider. The U16 Open put on a commendable performance against a strong Marist team.

Congratulations to the U14 Girls who secured the Premiership with one match to spare and the U14 Open Development squad who finished as runners up on goal difference.

Radford NPL final rounds for the season

In windy conditions, the Radford U14s boys kicked off the day with a promising start, dominating the first half and leading 2–0 and 3–1 early. However, Belconnen United FC shifted into high gear, ultimately winning 7–3.

The highlight of the day was the U15s match, where our boys took the lead in the first half and held on with gritty determination to secure a hard-fought 1–0 victory. Their resilience was commendable!

With illness and injury affecting our U16s, the very talented BUFC U16's secured the Minor Premiership, making it a tough match for our boys.

For the Radford U18s, what should have been a celebratory game for making the semi-finals, turned into a frustrating end to the season. Our boys needing a win against a struggling BUFC team, but the match ended in a 4-4 draw. This resulted in the U18s missing out on the Finals due to a 5–0 victory by the Tigers over the Gunners.


Belconnen Athletics Carnival

Radford was proudly represented by 56 enthusiastic students from Years 2-6 at the recent Belconnen Athletics Carnival. The competition was fierce, but our students competed with enthusiasm and pride for the College.

At the conclusion of the carnival, Radford had come away with 5 first places, 6 second places, 3 third places and 6 fourth places.

Radford's efforts across all events resulted in the College placing second overall in the girls' category, second overall in the boys' category, and first overall across all schools competing! We now have 16 students who have qualified to compete at the SSACT 12&U Track and Field Championships on 17 September at Woden Park.

Congratulations to all students who competed.
