The Wauchope PS Girls Football (Soccer) team is now the 2010 NSW PSSA Girls Football Champions. In March this year a record 502 girls teams had registered for the competition. It has taken our girls team 8 months and just under 3000 kilometres of travelling to get to the final 4 teams of the competition. On Monday morning in Newcastle, we played our semi-final against Tararah P.S. Although having a slow start the girls were well on top and finished with a very strong 2-0 win. Both goals were very well taken by Larissa and Samantha. This meant we had to play Manly West P.S., a school of 750 students with a very proud sporting record, in the final. The heat and nerves again made for a slow start. Just after half time, Samantha scored our first of 2 goals. Soon after, Olivia calmly palced a penalty shot into the bottom left corder of the goal. Luckily we had Georgia Wh. in goals, as she pulled off a great penalty shot save, this kept our perfect defensive in tack. The team, the parents and supporters, the coach and Ms Reynolds couldn't hide their elation with their win. The scores of our 9 games created a unique record for the girls. We are one of the few teams in the history of the competition to get through an entire competition and not concede a single goal, a record we are all very proud of. The team consisted of Georgia W, Sheridan R, Olivia B, Georgia M, Jordan C, Emily L, Ashlee K, Samantha M, Chloe C, Zoe B, Georgia Wh, Kirra T and Larissa W. Many thanks for the outstanding support of the parents for motivation, transport and help with coaching. We couldn't have done it without you! Congratulations girls and Mr Baker!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
