Sports news, reminders and results

(1) Division 1 Herald Sun Shield

Congratulations to our Senior Girls Football Team who competed in the Semi Final of the prestigious Division 1 Herald Sun Shield on Wednesday against Hallam Senior College at Casey Fields. Competing against a Sports Academy School was always going to be tough, but our girls played so incredibly well. The game was tied at the final siren, which resulted in “next score wins”. 25 minutes of extra time saw Hallam score a point to end the game. Whilst our girls were shattered with the result, we could not have asked for anything more from them and we are so proud of how you played and represented Mount Lilydale Mercy College.

• Mount Lilydale Mercy College 1.3.9
• Hallam Senior Secondary 1.4.10
• Best players: Bridget Deed, Sophia Zappia, Hannah Steele, Jess Dalgleish, Matilda Kelly, Kelly Whitchell
• Goals: Sophia Zappia

(3) Missing Sport Team Uniforms
We are missing a number of team uniform tops from kits, including soccer/hockey/touch football, athletics and football. Could parents please check that none of these have been taken home by mistake?! Thank you.

(4) EISM Reminders

With the Winter seasons of Year 8, 9 and Senior EISM Sport all well underway, please remember the following:

• check the Sport plans - up on the Doyle Centre window at the beginning of every week
• if you are unable to play in your team in a particular week, you need to let your coach know as early as possible
• please be on time to the Doyle Centre on your sport day - all EISM Teams need to leave at the start of lunch to get to venues to play
• that your uniform needs to be 100% correct to ensure no forfeited games - hockey, soccer and football must wear long navy socks (available at the Doyle Centre) & mouthguards must be worn for hockey.

NO CORRECT UNIFORM, NO GAME.
