Over 500 students travelled to Wanderers Football Park to compete in the 2023 edition of the Primary and Secondary Finals of the 2023 Schools Cup powered by ABAL Banking.
After a number of regional rounds in Term 3, the winners of each region were brought together to battle it out at the ultimate schools tournament.
First up were the Primary Finals which saw 19 of the strongest teams battle it out at Wanderers Fives.
The Primary Girls saw Danebank Anglican School come very close to the Champions of the day, King Park Public School while the Primary Boys came down to the wire as the teams were locked in a draw at the end of the match.
It was only in extra time that King Park Public School were able to score the golden goal against Mamre Anglican School.
Similarly, the Secondary Finals saw another close day of results with all teams bringing their best to Wanderers Football Park.
In the Girls Secondary competition, Winmalee High School kept their nerves under control to defeat Cecil Hills High School who put up a good fight in the final.
While in the Boys Secondary competition, Thomas Hassall Anglican College got their revenge on a finals defeat two years ago by defeating Santa Sophia Catholic College 2-0.
Events like the Wanderers Schools Cup would not be possible without the help of referees from The Hills, Granville and Southern Districts Association, as well as assistance from students from the club’s 2023 SEDA Diploma Program.
