Mercedes College 4 d Rostrevor College 2![]()
A flying first half proved the key to Mercedes College’s win against Rostrevor College, winning 4-2 at Campbelltown.![]()
Dominating the scoreboard with a 3-0 lead at half-time Mercedes looked in the box seat for a solid win. But Rostrevor showed great spirit to bang in two goals to keep themselves in the game and pressure Mercedes.![]()
Mercedes coach David Carosi said it was an entertaining match. “We took our chances and created a lot of scoring opportunities,’’ Carosi said.![]()
“It was a great midfield battle throughout the match. Rostrevor got themselves back in the game during the second half but we stayed disciplined defensively. I felt we were always dangerous in the final third although Rostrevor had some good build up play.’’![]()
Best for Mercedes were Jah Arnold (two goals and an assist), Alex Manou, starting debut and an engine in the midfield and composed in possession and Xavier Nichols (one goal) who worked hard both ways and caused defenders issues in one on one battles. Daniel Bruzzone was the other scorer.![]()
Rostrevor coach Terry Frangakis said his side worked back into the game well after a sluggish start.![]()
“Mercedes started the match brightly and was incessant in its press toward the Rostrevor backline as they created two solid chances in the opening 10 minutes,’’ Frangakis said.![]()
“Their positive start to the game was eventually rewarded as they capitalised on a miskick to slot the ball in the bottom left-hand corner. The second half started very much how the first ended as Mercedes scored within a minute to lead 3-0.![]()
“However, to our credit, this seemed to kick-start a response as their approach to the game changed. Eventually a low-driven cross from Malatesta in the 18-yard box met Bowering who flicked the ball in the back of the net.![]()
“After trailing 3-2 a counter attack in the final minute of the game saw Mercedes score their fourth goal to win 4-2. Congratulations to Kuach Kuach on making his First XI debut.’’![]()
Rostrevor’s key players included Max Koch, James De Conno and Fabian D’Alessio, while Anthony Rapuano and Gabe Bowering were the goal scorers.![]()
Christian Brothers College 5 d Trinity College 3![]()
Goals dominated play between CBC and Trinity College with a total of eight scored, CBC taking the points 5-3 at Croydon Soccer Club (pitch one).![]()
The teams traded attacks and scores with CBC leading 4-2 at the main break before each side put a goal each into the net in the second half. CBC, with two wins and a draw, has scored 12 goals in its three games with two lots of five goals.![]()
CBC coach Marcelo Carrusca said it was an action-packed game. “The first half was fairly contested with both teams scoring,’’ Carrusca said.![]()
“Mason (Ayoubi) came out again fired up after the break and scored another lovely goal, from here on it remained a CBC affair, no other goals were added to the score line.’’ Best for CBC were Ayoubi Mason (two goals), Alex De Siato and Cameron Hayes. Calvin Phillis, Sam Vasilevski and Julian Ialeggio scored a goal each.![]()
Trinity coach Lee Cockerill said his side stuck to its task in an action-packed game.![]()
“Trinity held control of the midfield early on and continued to do so for large portions of the game with quality touches inside and upfront,’’ Cockerill said.![]()
“Effort can’t be dismissed, although minor defensive errors and clinical finishing proved definitive in the end result. Goals from Harry Crawford (two) and Ryan White late provided optimism of a comeback draw but left themselves vulnerable for CBC to extend its lead.’’![]()
Best for Trinity were Ryan White, Ryan Hooker and Harry Crawford.![]()

Prince Alfred College 3 d Sacred Heart College 1 ![]()
Prince Alfred finished a little stronger in the second half to account for Sacred Heart College 3-1 at Croydon Soccer Club (pitch two).![]()

PAC coach Tom Rolls said his side battled well but both teams had chances.![]()
“Sacred Heart had more of the possession in the first half but PAC created some good chances of their own,’’ Rolls said. “Sacred Heart then equalised mid way through the first half through a penalty resulting from a long diagonal ball.![]()
“In the second half we dominated with the ball and came more into the game as the half progressed. Seth Rocca executed a perfect finesse shot from outside the box following some good play.![]()
“Zach Anderson then followed with another after capitalising on a defensive mistake. Both teams would agree that they should have finished more chances.’’![]()
Hearts coach Tony Finamore said the game proved a “captivating encounter’’.![]()
“As the match progressed the game remained fiercely contested but PAC managed to break through with a goal,’’ Finamore said. “Undoubtedly it was a compelling match yet Sacred Heart’s missed opportunities ultimately allowed victory to elude us.’’ ![]()
Henry Lynch, Xavier Hall and Freddie Muller were among the best for Hearts. Luke Aggerman was the goal scorer for Hearts.![]()
St Ignatius College 1 drew Nazareth College 1 ![]()
Defences were on top as St Ignatius College and Nazareth College battled for the edge before ending with a 1-1 result at the FFSA Centre of Football (pitch one).![]()
The game was tight early and the teams were locked without scoring at half-time.![]()
Nazareth broke the deadlock in the second half at point blank range. St Ignatius reacted to that score, clawing its way back into the game through a brilliant effort from Liam D’Aloia who dribbled through three players to score from outside the box.![]()
Iggies coach Angelo Picca said the game fluctuated. “Both sides had chances in the second half and came close to scoring several times,’’ Picca said.![]()
“Both teams will have to wait another week to earn their first win of the season.’’ Best for Iggies were Ashton Rinaldo, Joseph de Rosa and Liam D’Aloia (one goal).![]()
Nazareth coach Stefan Roussos said his team shone. “It was an overall great display across the park for our boys,’’ Roussos said. “They were able to put the game plan into place which was pleasing for the coaches.![]()
“Unfortunately we had some difficulty once again in front of goal, especially in the second half where we were able to create chances but not put them away.![]()
“Special mentions to Dejan (LB) and Jacob (CB) who had faultless games in their positions and really made it hard for St Ignatius all evening.’’![]()
Best for Nazareth were Jacob Athanadiades (one goal), Dejan Cafuta and Dion Petropoulos. ![]()

St Michael’s won its second game of the competition when it beat St Peter’s College 3-1 at West Beach Parks Football centre.![]()
St Micks led 2-1 at half-time after an early goal in the first and made sure of victory with another goal after the break. St Michael’s coach Jordan Young said it was a solid effort for the most part.![]()
“An early goal allowed us to gain some confidence, however, with this, as often happens we took our foot off the pedal and allowed them to score to level the game again,’’ Young said.![]()
“To the boys’ credit we saw a completely different SMC in the second half. A team full of energy, aggression and flare. At 3-1 the game was iced and I was impressed with our ability to maintain possession and ride out any momentum swings they threw at us. Overall a slow first half but great to get back to our best in the second half.’’![]()
Best for St Michael’s were Yianni Linardakis, Izac Carrozza (one goal) and Luis Consalvo. Zake Scardigno and Yonata Abera scored a goal each.![]()
St Peter’s coach Matt French said his side battled well. “The game was well poised throughout the first half with St Michael’s having a lot of the ball although not threatening with clear-cut opportunities,’’ French said.![]()

“They went further ahead with a neat finish to make it 3-1 early in the second half. We responded with some good opportunities created but could not find another goal.’’![]()
Best for Saints were Stellan Stolcman, Kostas Tsiopelas and Jack Lynch. Oscar Slattery was the goal scorer.

First XVIII Division 1 Pool A, Round 3![]()
St Peter’s College 14.16 (100) d Pembroke School 6.6 (42)![]()
St Peter’s College maintained its unbeaten run after three games by proving too strong away against Pembroke School, winning by 58 points.![]()
The home side was on fire early, jumping to a 5.2 to 2.1 lead at quarter time before the Saints hit back to edge to a 6.8 to 6.2 advantage at half time.![]()
A dour third quarter saw the Saints up by 15 points turning for the last quarter before charging clear to kick 6.7 to no score to win 14.16 (100) to 6.6 (42).![]()
Saints coach Josh Francou said it was another pleasing win for the Saints.![]()
“Full credit to Pembroke, they came to play and caught us on the back foot from the first bounce kicking four unanswered goals and looking ominous,’’ Francou said.![]()
“They were more physical and were able to get their hands on the ball first and set up many forward entries, leaving us scrambling. After a reset at quarter time we were able to turn the momentum and get first use of the ball in the scramble.![]()
“We dominated field position in the second quarter and was able to capitalise on the scoreboard. Harvey George was dangerous forward of the ball marking everything that came his way and ended up kicking eight goals for the game. Ted Newman was terrific in defence and Darcy Connor continued his good form.’’![]()
Other key players included Will Hawker, Charlie Koch, Patrick Higgins (two goals), Jake Hill and Oli Francou.![]()
Pembroke coach Peter Elfenbein said his side battled the odds well. “We knew we would be outmatched in size around the ground with no ruckman this week so had to bring the tackling pressure around stoppages to force turnovers,’’ Elfenbein said.![]()
“Pressure allowed us to jumpstart the game winning majority of stoppages and kicking the first four goals of the game.![]()
“St Peter’s played well delivering to key targets up forward and got themselves back into the game but proved too skilful in the last quarter.’’![]()
Best for Pembroke included Will Kile, Charlie Lewis, Rory Switajewski and Hugh Payze.![]()
![]()
Sacred Heart College 20.19 (139) d St Michael’s 4.3 (27)![]()
Sacred Heart’s class and depth was on show again as it easily accounted for St Michael’s College at home.![]()
Dominating the opening quarter to lead 6.1 to no score Hearts were under rare pressure in the second as St Micks kicked all of their four goals to trail 8.9 to 4.0 at half-time.![]()
But that was the end of the contest as Hearts regrouped to lead 14.14 to 4.2 at three-quarter time and then clearing out to take the match 20.19 (139) to 4.3 (27).![]()
Hearts coach Jon Symonds said his side had to work hard for its win in the second half after being under pressure early. “The challenge for our First XVIII side was to put together four-quarter performances against a side it was expected to win against,’’ Symonds said.![]()
“This appeared on track early in the game with a dominant six goals to nil first quarter placing us in a very strong position at quarter time. However, we were outplayed in the second quarter where our opposition got control of the game both in the contest and on the scoreboard, outscoring us by four goals to two.![]()
“With our opposition maintaining their effort throughout the game, it was very pleasing to see our players high work rate and effective ball use turn the game significantly in our favour on the scoreboard in the second half.’’![]()
Best for Hearts included Beau Symonds, Ned Atkinson, Lucas Camporeale, Ben Camporeale, Conor Gluyas, Ben Dewhirst, Charlie Hillier and Charlie McAuliffe. Jack Hutton (four goals), Cooper Bobridge (three goals) and Harry Francis (three goals) featured in attack.![]()
St Michael’s coach Brett Ebert said his side knew there was a tough battle ahead.![]()
“There is no tougher challenge in the competition than playing Sacred Heart College at their home ground,’’ Ebert said. “We went into the game confident we could compete against them at a high standard.![]()
“After getting out of the blocks early and kicking 6.5, we managed to slow Sacred Hearts’ run and outscore them in the second quarter 4.0 to 2.4.![]()
“Kane Hodges kicked two of the goals in his debut game for the First XVIII. We were extremely happy with the boys’ efforts in the first half and went into the main break feeling like we had gained plenty of momentum.![]()
“After doing so much of the defending and unable to maintain possession we looked to run out of legs in the last quarter. To the boys’ credit they continued to compete until the final siren.![]()
“For mine the scoreboard didn’t truly reflect the closeness of the game and the effort we put in. I was proud of the way we continued to try and play an attacking style of football without becoming too one dimensional and boring.![]()
“There were solid contributions from across the board but no real standout players as there has been in previous weeks.’’ Best for St Michael’s were Will Blair, Albert Ebert, Will Ashton, Oskar Kilpatrick and Jarred Jesson, while Kane Hodges kicked two goals.![]()
![]()
Prince Alfred College 19.18 (132) d Sacred Heart (2) 6.8 (48).![]()
Prince Alfred College had all the answers for Sacred Heart (2) at home, leading at each change to win by 84 points.![]()
Princes took a stranglehold on the game to lead 7.5 to 1.0 and 12.11 to 1.3 at the breaks before winning 19.18 (132) to 6.8 (44).![]()
PAC coach Matt Slade said the team was wary of the Sacred Heart side, despite it being the college’s number two team.![]()
“The depth of Sacred Heart is profound and it was evidently clear that we would be up against a group of young, talented footballers who would be consistently pushing their case forward with determination in the pursuit of making First XVIII selection,’’ Slade said.![]()
“The outcome, a first half of clear ball control, combined with a vocal presence that helped promote fluent and predictable ball movement as our talent and system proved far too superior for Sacred Heart’s youth. Although a relatively lacklustre second half would unfold and create a degree of disappointment based on our objective being to complete a four-quarter effort.’’![]()
Best for the Reds included Louie Montgomery, Tom Tasker (two goals), Kobe McEntee (four goals), Jack Dundon, Connor Mills and Will Kleemann. Matthew LeRay (three goals), Jay Polkinghorne (three goals) and Marcus Pavlic (two goals) also featured.![]()
Hearts (2) coach Anton Vassallo said his side couldn’t back up the previous round’s good effort against Westminster.![]()
“The goal was to bring the same intensity and energy along with our team first attitude that allowed us to play such good footy the week before,’’ Vassallo said.![]()
“Unfortunately we were unable to do so which resulted in us being jumped in the first quarter allowing PAC to kick seven goals to our one. The second quarter was similar to the first as we struggled to gain any momentum throughout the half and couldn’t put a stop to PAC’s ball movement through the middle of the ground and out of stoppage.![]()
“While it’s frustrating that we didn’t start the game the way we finished it, we did prove to ourselves that we were good enough to challenge PAC if we put up a consistent four-quarter effort.’’![]()
Best for Hearts were Max Disbury, Saxon Amber, Gus Downs, Ethan McAnaney, Tom Dermody (two goals) and Luke Candy (three goals).![]()
Rostrevor 10.10 (70) d Scotch College 3.8 (26)![]()
Rostrevor had to work hard to keep its unbeaten run before accounting for Scotch College away in a tight contest.![]()
Leading 6.4 to 1.2 at half time and 8.7 to 2.3 at the last change the last quarter was relatively even with Rostrevor taking the match 10.10 (70) to 3.8 (26).![]()
Rostrevor coach Scott Uppington said it was a tough battle for most of the day.![]()
“We started the game quite well and were able to get the ball into our forward line quickly,’’ Uppington said.![]()
“This allowed us to build a five-goal lead by the first change. Unfortunately from this moment we let the scoreboard dictate our actions and to Scotch’s credit their contested work and pressure were very good and didn’t allow us to get our game going.![]()
“I thought in the second half we tried to move the ball how we want to, however I think we realised post game we can play a lot better in all phases of the game.’’![]()
Best for Rostrevor were Ned McCarthy, Jay Johns, Darci Best, Kade Maddigan, Jack Michalanney and Matt Brown (four goals). Felix Farmer top scored with three goals.![]()
Scotch was well served by Louie Merrigan, Charlie Arundell and Jasper Maher.![]()

Immanuel College 20.11 (131) d St Ignatius College 8.8 (56)![]()
A stop in play in the second quarter for an ambulance to attend to an injured Immanuel College player marred the clash between Immanuel and St Ignatius, eventually won by Immanuel by 75 points.![]()

Half time was called early and then the second half continued with Immanuel winning 20.11 (131) to 8.8 (56) after leading 15.8 to 3.5 at the last change. When play stopped in the second term it was Immanuel up 8.6 to 1.3.![]()
Immanuel coach Mark Bickley said it was a relief his player was ok.![]()
“That was a real worry, but thankfully he got better and was talking when the ambulance arrived,’’ Bickley said.![]()
“Game wise I thought that was our best for the season. We also had two other injuries so just had one on the bench later in the game.’’ Among the best for Immanuel were Charlie West with six goals, Macklen McKay and Skip Barreau. St Ignatius coach Adrian Rocco added his best wishes for the injured players. “It was an unfortunate accidental head knock between the two boys from Immanuel,’’ Rocco said. “Our concerns were only for the two boys and we wish them a healthy recovery.’’ Best for St Ignatius were Noah McDonald (two goals), Eamonn Cronin and Cody McInnes (two goals).![]()

Trinity College 6.6 (42) Westminster School 4.3 (27)![]()
Westminster College defeated Trinity College at Trinity but the game was called off at half time because the lights went out.![]()
The umpired deemed it unsafe to continue with Westminster ahead 6.6 to 4.3 at the time.![]()
Westminster coach Tim Weatherald said it was a pity the game had to end in the way it did.![]()
“The game was very competitive with some excellent marking by both teams throughout the first half. Trinity was able to get a number of inside 50s however Westminster’s defence held up well and was able to score a number of slingshot goals with clean movement from out of defence,’’ Weatherald said.![]()
“I am sure the game would have been a good battle in the second half.’’![]()
Best for Westminster wee Jake Agnew (two goals), Tim Alver, Max Robertson, Riley Shepherdson (two goals), Clay Shadforth and William Young.
