Soccer
This season the 1st XI went into the PSA competition as current holders of the Lawe Davies Cup and the favourites to retain the trophy. With only five players from the previous year it was an inexperienced lineup for the first game against Christ Church. A 4-1 win was
Mr Roger Blatchford Manager 1st XI followed by a 4-0 win against Wesley but a shock loss to Scotch in round 3 was a reality check for the players. Winning the next three games restored a narrow lead in the competition but was followed by three draws. Luckily, we were favoured by the other results and Trinity entered the final round needing a win to secure outright victory. A close and exciting game against Guildford ended in a 3-1 win to Trinity and the Lawe Davies Cup staying at the College for another year. 1st XI Captain, Christopher Quinn, assisted by Vice Captains Liam McCloskey and James Davies, were the backbone of the team but all the new players quickly adapted to the speed and pace of 1st Team Soccer. The secret weapon of the team, however, was new coach and Trinity Old Boy – Shaun Murphy (‘87). Shaun played for the College in 1987 when Trinity won the first ever PSA Soccer competition and his passion for both the game and the College motivated and inspired the boys.
This year the 1st XI again entered the Smarter than Smoking Glory Cup and after seven consecutive victories were eventually beaten by Safety Bay SHS in the quarter final.
The other senior teams were also successful with the 2nd XI, 3rd XI, 10A XI and 10B XI all winning their competitions and the 10B XI winning every game. In the Middle School competitions the 9C XI, 8A XI and 8B XI all won their divisions and helped to make this one of the most successful seasons for soccer at Trinity College.
I would like to thank all the soccer coaches for their tremendous efforts throughout the season. Also a big thank you to the parents for their support on the sidelines, and the Mums who helped with the breakfasts after training and at the Waterford morning tea.
