Year 9 Students Shine at NFL FLAG Australian Championships
In week 8, ten enthusiastic Year 9 students represented Tasmania at the U15 NFL FLAG Australian Championships on the Gold Coast. What makes their achievement even more impressive is that they only learned the sport earlier this year in their Year 9 HPE classes!
After taking out the Tasmanian Championships, the students were selected to represent Team Tasmania on the national stage, competing against ten teams split across two pools (A and B).
Team TAS kicked off their campaign with a thrilling 14–13 win over ACT in Round 1. In Round 2, they narrowly lost 20–19 to NSW South. Following a bye in Round 3, they returned with a solid 25–21 win over NSW North. With two more byes in Rounds 5 and 6, the team rounded out pool play with a hard-fought 26–20 victory against NT in Round 7.
With three wins from four games, Tasmania topped Pool A, a fantastic result for a team new to the sport. In the semi-finals, they faced a strong Victorian team and went down 6–34. They then met ACT again in the 3rd vs 4th playoff, where they narrowly lost 12–6.
Finishing 4th in the nation is a remarkable accomplishment.
Throughout the tournament, these young athletes showcased exceptional skill, unwavering determination, and outstanding sportsmanship. Their commitment to each other and the game was evident in every match, and they proudly represented St Aloysius Catholic College on the national stage with integrity, passion, and pride.
