Back to back Year 9/10 Division 1 AFL Premiers🏆
A huge congratulations to our Year 9/10 Division 1 Boys, who produced an incredible comeback at Geilston Bay last night to claim a 2‑point Grand Final win over Hutchins with a score of 44-42.
After three quarters of tightly contested football, Hutchins broke away in the final term to lead by 16 points. Even with four minutes to go, the margin remained at 16, but the boys refused to give in. Goals to Luca (Year 10) and Hugo (Year 9) brought the game back to just 4 points with a minute left on the clock.
A brilliant centre clearance combination from Dexter and Angus (Year 10) set up a set shot from 50m out with just seconds remaining, and Angus calmly delivered the match‑winner to secure the premiership.
Congratulations to every player involved in the Grand Final and throughout the season. We now look ahead to a qualifier against Clarence High School for a chance to progress to the Tassie Hawks Cup.
Thank you to all students, families, and friends who came out to support the team. The atmosphere was outstanding. Thank you to the staff for coaching the team and Year 11 students Tom and Riley for their help as assistant coaches.
We’re incredibly proud of the football culture continuing to grow here at MacKillop, with back‑to‑back premierships in both our Year 9/10 and Year 7/8 Division 1 Boys programs, alongside strong results in the girls programs and the development of our First Grade boys' team.
