SOCCER
On Tuesday 21st June, the Woodend boys played two games of Soccer.

We then had an exciting penalty shoot out to determine the winner.

In game 2 the Woodend boys passed the ball well as a team and played some great team Soccer to finish with a 3-0 win.
Congratulations Woodend Soccer team!

FOOTBALL (Girls)
Game 1 vs All Saints
On Thursday 7th July our Woodend girls played Round 2 of the Statewide Schools Football competition. Throughout the game they all improved their tackling, attack on the ball and confidence to run with the ball. The girls won the last quarter which was a good reward for their hard work throughout the game.
Final score:
All Saints 8 – 9 = 57 points
Woodend 3 – 0 = 18 points
In game 2 the girls started the game with great confidence and improved their tackling pressure. They had lots of opportunities but unfortunately Belair kicked away late to score 5 goals in the last quarter to take the win.
Final score:
Belair 13 – 4 = 82 points
Woodend 3 – 6 = 24 points
A positive learning opportunity for the Woodend girls and it was excellent to see their consistent effort to give both games their absolute best.
Thank you again to the parents who helped out with goal umpiring and time keeping.
