Tournament football can be cruel…..a win or a draw on Wednesday morning v Craighead would have meant the team would move into the Top 4 and semi-finals.
A loss 1-0 loss via a penalty meant that we were one of 3 teams tied at the top of their pool. So, it came down to goal difference -with Queens High School having the slightly better goal difference, they made the semi-finals. Unfortunately, as the team had 3rd best goal difference (only by 1), so SGHS ended up in the 9th-12th playoff bracket.
The afternoon’s game was against Wakatipu High. Again, SGHS dominated possession but couldn’t take advantage and the game ended 1-1. It came down to a penalty shootout which SGHS won 4-2.
This morning the team played Mt Aspiring College in a playoff for 9th and 10th – a win for SGHS with the final score 3-0.
Arguably their best performance of the week with two goals to Abby J and one to Lucy D.
Safe travels home team!
