In an intense and hard-fought Bill Turner Trophy area final, Shire Christian School narrowly went down 2–1 to PLC Sydney. Despite the result, our team showed tremendous determination and spirit throughout the match, pushing PLC to the very last whistle.
PLC started strong, scoring two goals in the first half. However, Shire Christian did not back down and continued to play hard. Their persistence paid off when they were awarded a penalty late in the second half. A well-placed finish brought the score to 2-1.
The final minutes were packed with tension as Shire pressed hard for an equaliser, showing excellent teamwork and grit. PLC held firm under pressure, ultimately holding on for the win.
Though the match ended in defeat for Shire Christian, the team’s performance was nothing short of commendable. They demonstrated resilience, skill, and unity, and can walk away proud of their efforts in a regional final that showcased the very best of school football.
Thank you to our families and friends who came out to support us. A special mention to Annabel for your fantastic signs!
The team now looks ahead to their next challenge, having secured a spot in the CSSA State Finals later this year after a strong victory in the CSSA South Met Zone.
