JPC Cross Country - Competitive Application Form
Bill Turner Cup - Round 1
On the last day of Term 1, a beautiful sunny day, our Girls and Boys Bill Turner Cup Soccer Teams had the opportunity to play their first game in the prestigious under 15 knockout competition, which includes teams from all around Australia. JPC faced off against Mount Stromlo College in both games. The girls were very unlucky to lose 2-1 and the boys won an amazing 13-0.
The girls acquitted themselves well but were unlucky to concede two goals very early in the game. The girls were led by strong performances from Lacey P, Olive F, Nat J and Emily B and some bustling tackles from Cecilia A and Georgia I. It was amazing to see the skill and tenacity of some of the students who had not played much football. Despite our injured Captain, Juliet B, dusting herself off the bench and inspiring a second-half come back and a last-minute goal for Cecilia, the girls were unable to turn some great pressure into the win, denied by both the crossbar and the offside flag!
Congratulations to all of the girls for putting in their best and representing the school with great effort and excellent sportsmanship. Thank you to Sienna N and Alani M for coaching the girls.
The boys were simply brilliant with a 13-goal destruction of the poor Stromlo team. It was beautiful to watch some of the clean and crisp passing, crunching tackles, and exemplary finishing. With strong performances across the park, the boys were up 5-0 at half time, the quality of the JPC team was clear as positions (including the keeper) were switched and the goals (and goal celebrations) continued to flow. Such was the dominance of the boys that the referee called the game off 10 minutes early. Congratulations to all the boys and on to the next round – in this competition, you are only as good as your next win! Congratulations to goal scorers, particularly skipper Dylan P with 4 goals, Will M with 3, and Justin A. with 2, and all the excellent performances. Thanks to co-coach and team DJ – Jye W!
