HOCKEY RECOGNITION
Three Kelso High Campus girls won the
National 16 Years Girls’ Hockey title, with a 3-
1 win in the final in Hobart earlier in the year.
Kate Brown was one of the umpires in the
final, and congratulations to her on such a
wonderful achievement for a Year 11 student!
As a result of a week of matches, a national
side was selected to tour New Zealand and
Argentina in the near future. Out of all the
hockey players in the nation, both Jessica and
Sarah Watterson have been selected in the
extended squad. Jessica is in the squad to
tour, and Sarah has been named as a shadow
player. She will join the tour if injury or other
commitments prevents someone else from
going.
Both girls deserve every amount of praise and
recognition from all the Kelso High community
for their achievements. The singular devotion
shown by these talented players is now
bearing fruit, and we wish them both well in
their new challenges.
SENIOR GIRLS’ SOCCER
WESTERN REGION
CHAMPIONS
Midway through the first half Mudgee was able to take advantage of
this ploy by scoring a goal. This was one of our only defensive lapses.
The girls did not give up keeping to the game plan, working as a team
setting passing the ball around setting up our forwards to attack our
goal.
Esther Hotham and Natalie Hugo were causing a lot of trouble at the
front but could not get the equalizing goal. The second half continued
in the same way with our girls dominating the possession and field
possession. We continued the attack but could not get the final
equaliser. It took to 8 minutes before full time when a shot from Brooke
Inwood hit the post deflecting across to Natalie Hugo to put the ball
into the net. The goal took us into extra time when Esther Hotham
completed an attacking passing raid by our girls to put the ball into the
net for the winning goal.
The game was a great team effort. Aimee Morris was particularly
strong in the backs, not only continually repelling the Mudgee attack
but turning the game around into an attacking raid by our girls. In the
backs she was well supported by Ebony Fenton, Olivia Sheehan,
Carol Prosser and Cassie Talbot. Dana Grenfell supported Aimee in
the defence linking up with the mid-field and forwards. Our mid-field
dominated the game with Jasmine Rae and Jaimi Inwood combining
well together to control the game. Our wings of Brooke Inwood, Caitlin
Morris, Jordyn Hayter and Kelly Baker caused a lot of problems down
the side creating chances for our forwards.
Score 2 – 1
Goal Scorers: Natalie Hugo and Esther Hotham
The senior girls’ soccer team are now the
Western Region champions after they
defeated Mudgee High in the final 2 goals to
1.
The game was played at a very high standard
reflecting the level that the two teams had
reached, justifying the ranking as the two top
teams in Western Region. We were a little
nervous before the game losing two of our
players but we brought into the team Esther
Hotham who proved to be a handful in attack
to the Mudgee defence.
We began the game strongly showing strong
ball skills passing and finding our players
causing problems for the Mudgee defence.
Mudgee’s defensive players were strong
stopping our girls from getting a clear shot on
goal. Mudgee’s game plan was to feed the ball
to their mid-field, kick the ball behind our
defence for their forwards to chase. For most
of the game our defence was able to
continually repel their attack.
