Concert 2009
Look... There's One!
On the 18th of September 14 children from Year 6 and one for Year 5 went to the Balmain AFL Gala Day. This one would be extra exciting as there would be finals included after the normal games.
First we did some training sessions with Stanmore Public before we started. We did a drill where you had to get 5 handpasses in a row and you would get a point. Stanmore beat us by 2 points in that game.
After that we moved on to some AFL matches.
Our first game was against the Dulwich Hill Magpies who were undefeated in their past matches. They were a very strong team but we defeated them by 24 points.
Our second game was against Stanmore Bulldogs who had lost to Dulwich Hill but that didn’t stop them beating us by 17 points.
Our third and last game before the finals was against the Annandale North Lions who we absolutely hammered by 72 points.
The finals were played:
1st vs 2nd
3rd vs 4th
5th vs 6th
We came 1st on the ladder so we would be playing the Dulwich Hill Magpies for the final.
With 2 minutes to go we were 8 points down and looked like we were out, when all of a sudden, Declan kicked 2 goals in the last two minutes to win the match and the competition fro Annandale.
A big thank you to Mr Colmer for organizing the day and for the parents that drove us down to the ground.
