BILL TURNER FOOTBALL The Bill Turner Cup is one of the world’s largest team sport competitions. Having beaten Edmund Rice 1-0 in the regional finals, our boys went on to play Knox Grammar School on Tuesday 9 August 2016. Knox had the home game advantage and we went into the game with one of our key players (Thomas Main) out due to illness. This setback did not deter our boys, we went out hard and took an early lead in the first half. Despite the strong efforts from Knox Grammar School, we remained composed and were able to maintain our lead and finish on top in the first half 1-0. Our team work was outstanding, all players stepped up and played their role impeccably to help us win the game comfortably 4-0. Special mention to Harry Borbilas for his outstanding attacking skills and Zachary Winter who was a stand out in defence. We are now down to the final eight remaining teams in Australia and next week we head to Albury to play against John Fawkner College in the quarter finals on Wednesday 17 August 2016. Our Bill Turner Cup Team: Harry Borbilas, Dean Borbilas, Deniz Celik, Anthony Krsteski, Michael Kyriakoudes, Trent Ledwidge, Samuel Lendrum, Thomas Main, Eden McCall, Johnathon Michalopoulos, Austin Pallone, Nickita Peros and Zachary Winter.
STATE FUTSAL CHAMPIONSHIPS

The boys had some tough games in the early rounds but were able to finish first in their pool, with two close wins and a draw. That saw them into the quarter-finals where the game finished 2-2 after extra time. TIGS remained composed for the penalty shoot-out to win the game. The semifinal, played against Narrabeen Sports High School, went the same way as
the quarter-final, with TIGS once again winning the penalty shoot-out after a 3-3 draw at full time. The grand final was played against De La Salle Catholic College, who were a very strong unit. Our boys fought gallantly but were just beaten 3-1, to finish runners-up in the State….a fantastic achievement! The team was: Samuel Aubin, Dean Borbilas, Stephen Borg, Joshua Field, Anthony Krsteski, Gabriel Krsteski, Thomas Main, Luke Wilson. Coach: Mr Deck U16 Girls - The following day, five of our mighty U14 girls backed up to compete in the U16 division.
