Glenaeon’s top footballers were on show at the AICES Football Championships last week. The ISD Open Mens team, which included Jayden S. from Yr 12 and Anton C. from Yr 11, played valiantly with great skill, passion and intensity throughout a great day of football played at an extremely high standard.

Despite winning two out of their three pool matches, the ISD team finished in third place within their pool, due to goal difference. The CDSSA team, who they beat in their pool match, went on to win the tournament, showing just how tight this competition is. Many congratulations to Jayden and Anton for their valuable contribution to the ISD team. This is the fourth year in a row that Jayden has represented Glenaeon in the ISD team. An outstanding achievement that he is very proud of.

 

Just a day earlier, Will T., Grace and Ava F. represented Glenaeon and ISD in the 16’s Boys and 15’s Girls teams respectively. Will played with great skill and energy and scored a goal in the final match of the day in a very competitive team. Grace and Ava proved to be a real focal point for the ISD team up forward and both enjoyed joining with girls from a range of different schools to form a really competitive team who improved with every match.

 

Maeve C. and Heike W. were both selected as reserves for the ISD 15 Girls football team, and despite not being called on to play in this years AICES championships, have certainly made their names known for future ISD teams with their skills, enthusiasm and energetic approach to their football.
