Soccer Match Reports
Yr 6 Soccer
This week was our last soccer game for the 2011
season. I was, again, very proud of all members of the
Year 6 soccer team. The opposition this week was
Sacred Heart College and unfortunately they did not
have enough players to complete their team.
Graciously players from my team were willing to wear
the shirts inside out and play for the opposition team.
Cabra students took turns playing for Sacred Heart
and the game went ahead in good spirit. I and the
Cabra Year 6’s were very happy to have our first win
of the season, despite it being through opposition
forfeit. All played well with excitement and enthusiasm
until the end.
Stephanie Button, Coach
8A Soccer
If you had watched this match without all the goals,
you'd have thought we must have drawn it. I don't think
I've ever seen a more flattering score. The Cabra boys
kept the game goal-less in the first 20 minutes and
played fantastically well in the mid-field and defence. A
late goal came for Mercedes that we really didn't need
and after that goals just came their way and at many
times it was hard to say why, it was hard to fault the
Cabra boys. Not having our keeper didn't help,
however a special mention must go to Josh Santinon
who was easily the toughest player on the pitch and he
won more of the ball than anyone. It was a shame to
lose the last game of what has been a hard season.
The boys must know however that their efforts this
season in the A division have been exceptional and I
hope every one of them make it back to play next year.
Tom Wood, Coach
10B Soccer
The last game of the season started out in a hard
fought first half that ended at 0-0. Sean Bell, usually a
solid defender broke out as the star striker in the
second half, putting two away and giving us a
comfortable lead heading towards the end of the
match. Mercedes mounted a little come back scoring
one to make it 2-1 but the boys were able to see out
the match. A good end to a successful season.
Jeremy Podger, Coach
Football Match Reports
Yr 9 Football
A great way to finish off a successful season for the
Year 9 team. Our focus was to get off to a good start
by applying early scoreboard pressure and to stick to
our game plan that has held us in good stead all year.
We had some great contributions throughout the game
including seven goals from Will Rana. His contested
marking was exceptional. A highlight of this week’s
game was the second and third efforts from Luke
Lavender who smothered, tackled and chased when
the situation required him to do so. Michael Clark and
Ethan Cartwright saved their best games until last
and both players should be pleased with their efforts.
Jordan Pressler’s run and carry created opportunities
for others to get involved in the game. Our ball use out
of defence and change of direction to create a loose
player continues to develop. The boys seemed to
enjoy the opportunity of playing their final game at
home. After an 11 game season, Cabra finished with
seven wins and four losses (including two by less than
one goal). An outstanding effort by all players who
represented Cabra in 2011. My thanks go to our
Captain Harry Westhoff and our self appointed Vice
Captain Carter Grieve for their efforts during the year.
Also to those parents who supported us throughout the
year and volunteered to help out as officials. A very
special thank you to Darryl Rana our Team Manager /
Assistant Coach and Runner for his incredible
organisation and communication each week. We
would also like to thank our sons Will and Connor
who have given us much joy in watching them develop
as players and young men for Cabra.
David Fairlie, Coach
9B Soccer
A fun way to finish a very successful season with a
good win over Sacred Heart, well done team for
working hard at training and taking pride in
representing Cabra every week. Thanks also to the
parents for their support.

Football Reports – cont’d
6/7 Football
With the last game for the season the team was
thrown around with players in different positions.
Despite the changes Cabra came out firing from the
start. Cabra's dominance around the ball and
willingness to run and work for each other were the
highlights. A blistering second quarter saw Cabra go
into the long break with a four goal lead. With some
positional changes for the second half, Cabra again
came out with high intensity repeatedly attacking the
goal face and keeping the ball locked in the forward
line. With the game in the bag Cabra still put up a
fantastic team effort to keep Sacred Heart scoreless in
the last quarter. Saturday was a fantastic way to finish
the season and easily our best performance. Thank
you to all the parents who have been so supportive
throughout the year, in particular to Tom Cleveland for
his help over the course of the season.
Jordan Robertson, Coach
First XVIII Football
It was the perfect finish to the year for Cabra’s First
XVIII with a massive 152 point win over St Peter’s. Our
accountability and marking contests were great, and
our decision making and front and centre contested
wins were as good as they’ve been all year. Our
centre clearances were outstanding and our run
through the middle was great to watch. It was amazing
to see the team improve throughout the year. I was
extremely happy that the guys were able to have such
an enjoyable and successful game to finish off the
football season.
Dave Reynolds, Coach
Yr 8 Football
A fine sunny morning out at Gawler for the Year 8’s
last game of their football season. The boys all arrived
early and excited to Trinity College hungry for another
win. Due to missing five of their team mates (through
injury and prior commitments), the 18 boys on
Saturday were asked again to try a few new positions.
The game was not as physical as the week before but
it was a game where good balls skills were needed
and required. Cabra thrived in a range of new
positions and fair playing conditions, and thus after 60
minutes came away with another convincing win.
Cabra lead at every break and gave very little to their
opposition. Overall Cabra’s hand balls, solid tackles
and long kicks down the wing were to be the main
reasons for their win. Even with the major loss of
Bentley at three quarter time from ruck with an ankle
injury, the boys remained focused on finishing
strongly. A fantastic finish to the football season for the
Year 8’s, well done and thanks boys! Also thank you to
all the parents and caregivers of this team who really
got behind them this season throughout their highs
and lows. They dedicated their last win this year to
you. Clynton Oakley, Football Coordinator
Netball Match Report
10B Netball
In a close game against Nazareth, the 10B Netball
team won their final to place fifth overall. Cabra came
out strong, gaining a one point lead in by the end of
the first quarter, Nazareth fought back taking the lead
at the end of the second quarter, however Cabra
players put in a great effort to win the third and final
quarters and finish with a win of 18-11. Great last
game from all players and thank you for the support
from parents throughout the season.
