Football tournaments- An invitation to come and support our boys
As term 1 is starting to come to a close, our Football is running full steam ahead! We have three tournaments in the holidays to get our boys ready for the season.
EREA
The annual EREA tournament is this weekend (April 13th and 14th) in Brisbane. Mr Jonathan Hall has been preparing our Opens boys in recent weeks and we wish them all the best! The tournament consists of a number of games where our boys take on other Edmund Rice schools from across Australia. It is a great experience for our boys to not only work together on the field but learn from their brothers from other schools. Good luck to all participating and involved!
Stella Lightning Round
We have our mighty U15 and U14 Blues teams participating in the Stella round this year. This tournament is run by Woden Weston FC and is a great opportunity for our boys to shine in the pre-season. We would love for our community to support our boys. Below is the draw and will take place on Sunday 14th April at Mawson playing fields.
Our U15s are being led by Mr Arnold Choi and our U14s Blues are under the guidance of Mr Lucas Fairhall (old boy of 2018). We wish them and their mighty boys all the best!
