SPORT

Futsal

This term we participated in the Secondary Interschool Futsal Tournament at Kingsway Indoor Stadium We had two teams competing, made up of a range of both Year 11 and Year 12 students. The tournament consisted of 18 teams from a range of schools across the metro area. The Teal team had two wins, a draw and two losses across the day. The Navy Team were undefeated all day up until the last game against Shenton College, who featured players from Perth Glory This Navy team qualified for the Semi Final against Lake Joondalup Baptist College losing 4-2. Overall, the Navy team ended up placing 4th out of the 18 teams, which was a fantastic result! Special mention to students Adrian Cooper and Utsav Kandel who were stand-outs in their respective teams. Adrian also scored the most goals for Sevenoaks with 9 goals in 6 games. We are very proud of all the students involved and cannot wait for the outdoor soccer competition next term!

Interschool Basketball

Late this term, after some tough try-outs, our interschool basketball team travelled to Willetton Basketball Centre for the annual interschool tournament Our team performed very well and had some fantastic wins They played six games back to back with next to no break in between.

In the first match they were up against ‘powerhouse’ Rossmoyne, previous champions and a basketball academy school. Sevenoaks were on top from the tip off, played fantastically, and had a convincing win (35-31). Raphael Gayares also stopped play with one of the best ‘ankle breakers’ witnessed at an interschool game! Match 2 was much the same against Belmont We had a very fast start leading 8-0 in the first few minutes and went on to win comfortably (40-33).

Unfortunately the next match was very tough and taxing on the players who were already fatigued from the first two games We played Como and came from behind to draw the match (30-30). Our boys are a very fit crew but the next game against St Norbert's was hard St Norbert's have a well-established academy and a very experienced coach. Fortunately for us we also have a bit of experience too and caught onto a lot of their tactics. We were the only school that challenged them all day and it was great to see the St Norbert's coach and players out of their comfort zone. We came within two points but fatigue played a role and we went down to them in the end The St Norbert's coach sincerely congratulated our team for a ‘fantastic’ match (36-31).

The last match unfortunately wasn’t much to watch as our boys had seriously 'hit the wall'. Even with a number of injuries, the boys put up a good fight but ran out of legs towards the end against Clontarf

The team displayed fantastic sportsmanship all day and they had a great time. Special mentions to Gaurav Sharma and Mekhi Yarran who were the top scorers for the day and huge thanks to our amazing coach, Mr Middleton.
