Tenison Woods College Year 8/9 footballers won through to the second round of Secondary Schools South Australia (SSSA) Knockout Year 8/9 Football competition on Tuesday at Vansittart Park.

The boys played St Martins Lutheran College (SMLC) in the first game and were very polished in their approach, maintaining possession of the ball and being efficient in front of goal. St Martins were very competitive and the score didn’t truly reflect their competitive efforts.  The final score was - Tenison Woods College 15.06.96 to SMLC 00.03.03.

The second game saw the boys play against a very skilful and determined Mount Gambier High School (MGHS).

MGHS jumped out of the blocks quickly kicking the first goal of the game but our boys responded well. Leading at half time, Tenison Woods College took total control in the second half, dominating possession and limiting MGHS forward 50 entries.

However, unlike the first game, our boys were wasteful in front of the goals, kicking 1 goal 7 behinds for the half. MGHS scored 2 late goals to make for a tense final 2 minutes of the game.  The class of our players came through and Tenison Woods College successfully won the match 04.08.32 to 04.03.27, progressing them into Round 2 where we face Naracoorte High School later on in the term.

Best players across the day were: Jack Domaschenz, Mitch Harrold, Ollie McInnes, Noah Sims, Zac Hopgood, Ollie Bennett and Kalan Shanks.

Great effort boys!
