JPC recently participated in a school futsal tournament. Our first match was against Merici College. Despite a great effort from JPC, we suffered a tough loss. The game was intense and challenging but was also an incredible experience to both play and spectate. 

Immediately after, JPC faced Lyneham High. We were all determined to win after facing a loss. All the girls played well which secured us a well-deserved win. Our confidence was boosted, and we went on to win all of the remaining matches against Radford College, Jerrabomberra High School, and Emmaus Christian College.

JPC earned a spot in the finals, where we were faced with Merici College once again. The final match was a physical and highly competitive battle from the start. During halftime, we gathered for a team chat, where Mr Hanna talked about the importance of staying focused and playing our best. He wanted to ensure us that when we would look back on this moment we were happy with how we played regardless of the outcome.

The second half was even more intense, leading to a dramatic penalty shootout. Unfortunately, this led to a loss. Despite our disappointment, all of us Year 9/10 girls showed our sportsmanship, congratulating Merici College and thanking them for the game.

Overall, the day was filled with excitement, fun, and was a great experience for both myself and the entire JPC team. We all give a big thanks to Mr Hanna who was our coach and Mr Holloway for supporting us on the sidelines!
