Soccer<br />
After having had an extremely successful after-school league season where they achieved second<br />
place, the First XI soccer team took part in the “Lotto Satellite” Secondary Schools Girls’ Tournament.<br />
From the start of the tournament the team performed with flair, intelligence, pace and resilience. Out of<br />
the six games played <strong>Columba</strong> won 4, drew 1 and lost 1. In the end, the team finished fifth out of 16<br />
teams and drew a great deal of praise from opposing coaches and spectators. Particularly pleasing<br />
was the ability of the side to repeatedly come back from adverse situations. On a number of occasions<br />
the team found itself under pressure but, in each case, all of the players maintained their composure<br />
and trusted in their own skills.<br />
All of the members of the team contributed positively – a fact reflected in the team’s goals being<br />
shared around so many players. The player who was voted MVP by opposing coaches was Kate<br />
Guildford. This achievement justifies a special mention as Kate’s enthusiasm, ability and positive<br />
attitude impacted positively on the rest of the team throughout the season.<br />
This extremely young team has established an extremely good foundation. By continuing to improve and<br />
develop as a group there is every reason to be hopeful of genuine tournament success in the near future.<br />
