Soccer

The pre-season training started in March with over sixty boys initially trialling for the First XI. The numbers were quickly reduced to twenty and after an excellent two day camp in Dwellingup the final squad of sixteen were selected.

The format of the PSA Competition with only ten games in the season leaves little margin for error and this year Trinity started with games against last year’s winner, Wesley College, and last year’s runners up, Hale School. By only picking up one point from these games the team faced an uphill battle for the rest of the season. The teams’ spirit, however, was as strong as ever and they went on to win their next four games, scoring twenty four goals. The return match against Wesley would decide the championship and sadly in a tight, closely fought game Trinity lost by a solitary goal. They remained undefeated for the rest of the season, however, and finished with a record of six wins, two losses and two draws. The First XI also competed in the Champions Schools Cup competition which is open to every school in Western Australia. After making their way through the round robin stage they were drawn against John Curtin Senior High School in the knockout stage. In what many are saying was the most exciting game of the season the result was eventually decided on penalties with Trinity losing 4-3. As team manager I would like to thank all the players for making this an exciting and enjoyable season. Their passion for the game and their camaraderie was excellent and at all times they showed the true Trinity Spirit. My thanks also goes to Steve Neville, who coached the boys in the finer skills of the game and to the wonderful parents whose enthusiasm and volume of support on the sidelines never faltered. From Years 8-12 this has been a great season for soccer at Trinity College. Every Friday afternoon and Saturday morning we field eleven teams and this year six of them finished the season on top of their table. Three others finished second, one third and one fourth. Special congratulations go to the 8A and 10B Teams who both won all ten of their games and to the 8B and 9B Teams who won nine games. I would like to thank all the staff members whose enthusiasm and coaching skills have helped to achieve these results.
