Year 7 This year there have been some great results for the Year 7 ACC Soccer team. The A team had a rough start to the season losing a few games, including losing their first home game 0–1, which was unfortunate. But they slowly improved their game with more teamwork and better communication on the field. The A team won two out of six games they played, which was not enough to qualify for the semi finals, but the performance on the field was extraordinary for the first year. The B team had won four out of seven games and were able to play in the finals. They started well, winning games with enormous goal counts for the season. Although having difficulties throughout the way, the performance was remarkable within the season. Vincent Curcio

Year 8 The A team started their season with a comfortable 5–0 win against Simonds at home. Unfortunately, the next two games were tight losses before bouncing back and beating Emmanuel 5–1. The last two games were both very close victories, with a 1–0 win against St Bede’s and a 2–1 win against our rivals, Salesian. After finishing third on the ladder, the semi final was against St Bernard’s and the boys were hoping to get revenge after their loss in round two. After a difficult game, St Bernard’s won 2–1 and knocked Mazenod out of the finals. Overall, the team had a fantastic season with the Most Valuable Player being awarded to Christopher Smirnis-Parra, Vinny Bago and Luca Ipradjian and the Best Team Man was Jerome Kim.

The Year 8 B team had a solid start to their season with a 3–1 win against St Bede’s and then a 4–0 win against St Bernard’s. This streak ended with an unfortunate 2–4 loss to Salesian. In their next game against Parade they won 3–1 and then beat them again in the semi final 4–1. It was time for the final and after an early goal in the second half, things were looking good for Mazenod, but then Salesian scored three goals to make them champions. It was a great season for the team, with special congratulations to Rhys Rodrigues for being awarded Most Consistent and Minh-Tam Pham for being the Best Team Man. Christopher Smirnis-Parra

Year 9 For Year 9 ACC soccer, students had to trial for all of Term 1 and try their best to make it to the team. The start of Term 2 marked the beginning of a series of games against other schools that also fought to try and make it to the final. The A team ended the season with three wins and four losses and were fifth on the ladder. Ryan Oh was the winner of the Most Consistent award and Thomas Chahla was the Best Team Man. The B team had one win and four losses and lost to Parade in the semifinals. The Most Consistent player was Jamie Wilton and the Best Team Man was James Ramalinga. The Founders Day Medal went to Thomas Chahla for the A team and Lochie Dal Ben for the B team. Although neither team won the competition, we definitely had a lot of fun and it was a great experience.

Year 10 The squads were eager to get back into the Mazenod sporting spirit after going through two years of restrictions. Getting back into the sport after two years is not easy, but the Year 10 students were not fazed and played exceptionally well. Both teams fought really well in their respective divisions to receive the best results possible and are to be congratulated on their great efforts. The A team had a great season, falling just short in the semi finals. Special mention to the award winners from the 10 B squad in Nathan Menezes as Most Consistent and Joshua Cherukara-Mathew as Best Team Man. Congratulations to the award winners from the A squad in Christian Gallo as Best and Fairest, Kayne White as the runner up and Robert McEwan who was the Best Team Man. Christian Gallo

Senior This was a year with both highs and lows for the two Senior ACC Soccer teams. The Senior A team, led by Mr Montoya, had a difficult year finishing on the bottom of the ladder, but there were still outstanding efforts from players such as Joshua Wilton and Matteo Cantavenera. The Senior B team, led by Mr Liam Coulter had a successful season, but fell short of the grand final by one game. Special mentions go to Liam Doherty, who was awarded Most Consistent player and Christopher Carosin, who was awarded Best Team Man.

On behalf of all the ACC Soccer teams, we thank all the amazing coaches, support staff and parents who have supported our journey this year. Mark Kihara
