A tight game which was only decided in the final minutes of the last
quarter. We led at every break but Xavier was tenacious and took the
lead several times in the third quarter. Strong defensive play and calm
thinking prevailed. To win the premiership from here we must work on
reducing turnovers and unforced errors. A fabulous game for the
spectators from two quality teams.
We lacked the aggressiveness of previous games and stuggled to
penetrate the opposition defenses. Poor passing, lack of
communication and limited rebounding prevented us from matching
Xavier in the first half. The latter part of thematch saw some of our
usual self to produce a more even performance.
A strong start and

A well drilled Caufield outfit employed double defence and quickly
turned the ball over right from the get go. Static passing and an over
reliance on individual play meant that our talls were starved of the ball
Best: Alex Hughes, Gabriel Shaw, Will Wright under the net. Cauflields full court press in the second period secured
them victory as the score board ticked over in their favour. The
individual efforts of Gabriel Shaw and Alex Hughes in particular meant

A reluctance to use the full width of the court, and commit to three
passes before going to the boards saw quick turn over once again this
round. We were back to something resembling our best in the second
period, but it was not sustained. If we can addressing our panic fuelled
passing and use our talls to better effect, we will come away with the
chocolates.

Another well played game by the boys to knock off a fast moving
Xavier outfit. Despite having our defence put to the test at the start of
the game, SKC managed to put on a show on offence, with great
passing, ball movement and sound teamwork ensuring the win.

A fantastic game to watch with intense defence from both sides being
the highlight. The passing in offence was mostly spot on with the
occasional error. If fitness, passing, shooting and rebounding
improves then this team will be hard to beat.
A very strategic game this week with boys focussing on what they
were each good at. John Walton was dynamic in both defence and
attack and scored well despite Xavier's best efforts at defence. Hector
Ryan's three pointer was impressive and set the tone for success on
the morning. Dante Di Paolo and Nathan Nardella both worked well on
defence, moving into space as required. Henry Leng and Cooper
Herbert were both terrific guards.
A tough game against a very skilled Peninsula outfit, boys competed
well fo rhe first half but struggled to keep up in the second. Although
the loss, strong performances from Adam Adamos, Max Charles was
promising.

Best Players: James Gook, Jordan Moran,

Boys were relentless from the start of the game and held Haileybury
out of scoring contentio for much of the first half. James Gook was
back to his best after some time on the sidelines with injury. Finn
Haughey and Jordan Moran were dynamic arounfd both the offence
and defence and managed to snare some brillant three pointers.
Sound team work and a desire to nail their victory to the mast ensured
another convincing win for the Blue Boomers.

In what was a frsutrating first half SKC struggled to get into the match
early with some shots missed from good offense whilst allowing Xavier
to score far too easily. Rebounding again was costly as Xavier were
afforded too many second chance points and SKC were unable to
stop the penetration and easily scores around the basket. The second
half was a far better performance where SKC were able to match the
Xavier intensity but the gap was far too large to close.
Best: Will Jensen, William Heanue, Thomas
Fairlie
A great team effort with a convincing win over Geelong. The SKC
boys started a bit slow but then the defence improved and some great
passing resulted in the boys gaining the lead which they never gave
up. A strong second half saw the boys make good decisions and it
resulted in easy scoring.
Points: Alex Capuano 10, Patrick Marshall 6,
Julian Tkalec 6.
Best: Alex Capuano, Patrick Marshall, Julian

A slow paced, grind-it-out game, however the boys remained
composed, and found success through driving and finding open lanes.
Defence was impressive all game, and ultimately kept the opposition
from taking the lead during their run in the final minutes.

Strong play by the boys from start to finish led them to a comfortable
win, with quality defence limiting the opposition to 5 points at half time.
Ben Ciarma and Will Cameron provided great rebounding and a
scoring presence inside, while Fabian Battista knocked down outside
jumpers and Blake Lawson played terrific defence, initating many
fastbreaks. We hope to continue with this form into next week.
The boys were just too strong for their Xavier opponents. This week
we saw improved boxing out and rebounding, an excellent inside and
outside game and good execution of the offense. We showed our
strong depth and athleticism as a team.
A close match throughout, SKC couldn't open a large enough lead
which lead to a see-sawing affair. In the second half, Brighton was
able to hit plenty of long rage jump shots including several threes,
being able to open up their lead. To the boys credit they fought back
hard and were able to bring the score to within 5 with under a minute.
Strong defensive pressure lead to a steal with 15 seconds to go,
Harrison Trotter stood up and hit a quick three to bring it within two.
Quickly fouling, Brighton had two shots, missing both. With a quick
offensive possession needed, SKC pushed the ball up the floor and
unfortunately couldn't get a clean shot up, going down by two. A well
played game by the whole team.

Jumping out to an early lead, SKC were able to control the tempo of
the match and hold off a strong offensively focused Brighton squad.
Strong ball handling and leadership by Jack Livens running the point
helped guide the team. The big men of the team were able to stand up
strong in defence and limit the attacking options by restricting
Brighton's big men from having shots close in. Strong game by all.

A tight first half characterised by good shooting from both teams led to
a fairly even contest after half time. St Kevin's improved on the
defense in the second half applying excellent passing pressure and
inhibiting Brighton's outside shooting. The half was accented by good
defensive rebounding by Daniel Barton and Campbell McEwen. A
string of excellent drives by Harrison Raffaele and Jacob Coulston
meant the game confortably fell to St Kevins.

A solid first round of APS competition for the senior team saw SKC
cross 15 runners over the line before Geelong had their second,
showing a great deal of depth and some quality team racing. M.
Hussey led the first lap out well and was supported by W. Lewis and
B. Tipper in the lead pack. The scond lap saw many of the boys close
well and pick up a number of placings on route to an impressive effort
from the large squad.
O. Lane, M. Leiner, H. Hartney
The Intermediate team performed well despite a number of boys
competing in the senior division over the longer distance. O. Lane
transferred his form from the training track over the past fortnight and
was the first Int runner over the line followed by M. Leiner, H. Hartney
and F. Davern. A good first APS race and encouraging signs for the
team as they prepare for State Road Relays next week at Albert Park.
H. Bowen, A. Down, J. Ivers
Marking the first APS race for a number of our Juniors the SKC team
showed that consistent training and hard work will be reflected in
results with some promising results in a race that featured over 140
boys. H. Bowen was the 2nd junior over the line followed closed by A.
Down and J. Ivers. A promising first race with lots to work on for the
remainder of the season.

The 1st XVIII came up a againt a determined Wesley side who took it
up to our boys early to lead by 12points at quarter time. Our midfield
rallied in the second and won the contested footy around the ground
as we fought back. Lachlan Fogarty was outstanding in the midfield as
was Kane 'Dukes' O'Hallaran up forward booting 7 goals in a dominant
display. In the final term our hard running and intensity proved far too
strong for Wesley as we recorded a 9 goal win. This week we take on
old rivals Xavier at home as we strive for redemption from last years
loss. We encourage as many students to come down and support the
team.

At quarter time the 2nd XVIII led by a goal. Despite some good play,
poor entries into the forward line and inaccuracy in front of goal did not
allow opportunities to be converted in goals. It was a much better
second quarter with great work from the mid-fielders and an open
forward line producing a seven goal quarter. The team continued to
work hard in the second half. The team work was exceptional and a
strong running style of play saw the 2nds XVIII record a confortable
win.

The SKC 3rd XVIII had a slow start but worked themselves into the
game through good team work and positioning. The boys continue to
improve on their game play and creating space through run. The boys
took the lead in the second quarter and would have scored better but
for some inaccuracy in front of the goals. Hard work through the
midfield and good defensive work ensured we came home with a win
against a strong Carey outfit.
Facing a MGS side for the second time in three weeks, the result was
much the same as our first encounter. The SKC 4th XVIII completely
dominated in the midfield, thanks to strong contributions from Christie,
Gamble and Tighe. Seven first quarter goals and a strong contribution
up forward from Tom Campbell and Angus Campbell, saw SKC jump
out to an early seven goal lead at the first break. Ben Field-Pimm was
a rock in defence and the MGS side found scoring tough in the first
half, going into the main break with just one goal on the board, while
the SKC midfield brigade of Fahey, Arthur, Gorman and Walk
extended the lead to 11 goals at the half. The second half saw much
of the same, with SKC eventually running out big winners for the
second time this season.
Scotch College came out strong in the first quarter on Saturday
morning, controlling the clearances and slicing through the St Kevin's

After an unlucky first quarter where we hit the woodwork twice,
Brighton Grammar asserted its dominance in the second term. Our
indecisiveness with the ball and at the contest was punished by the
opposition, who set up what was to be a match winning lead. A minicomeback in the third quarter was stymied by sloppy ball use but we
remained dogged until the final siren. The tenacity of Patrick Lee, after
he was swung down back was a highlight, as well as a cameo of
physicality by Will Hannan, who laid a particularly meaty slice of
shepherd’s pie on his unwitting adversary.
While the scoreboard did not reflect it, the 8A team's effort was
fantastic for the entire game. The team pressured well against a very
talented opposition. The backline held up especially well considering
how much time the ball spent in Xavier's forward line. There was
significant improvement from last week to this week, and this is the
focus for next week too.

A very good contest, played in a rather heated manner. Scotch came

Great effort from Toby Russell, Hamish Reimers and Mackenzie
Salmon.
SKC enjoyed a hard fought win against a worthy opponent. On the
beautiful Main Oval the boys had excellent conditions in which to
"strutt their stuff" We held scotch at bay for most of the day with them
threatening to go to the lead late in the last quarter. SKC rallied and
played strong football to finish clear winners on the day.

SKC got off to a strong start against a physicially stronger Geelong
Grammar side. SKC's team work and skills saw them dominate the
garme for the first 3 quarters. The last quarter saw Geelong Grammar
rebound whilst SKC's midefield failed to maintain their intensity from
earlier in the game. A good message for the team as we prepare for
our next game, against Xavier, during the week.

opposition displayed a hunger for the contest which the 8B team could
not match.

Facing a giant 8As team from Caulfield, SKC were dominated all over
the ground in the first half, struggling to get any clean possession.
However, being faced with the possibilty of the mercy rule, the boys
stood tall in the second half, keeping Caulfield to only 4 goals after
half time. A determined push by all players, against the A grade skills
of the opposition meant the boys could hold their heads high, playing
out the game without the assisstance of the mercy rule.

It was literally a game of two halves in the 1st and 3rd quarters Burke
Hall dominated play kicking 7-6-48 to 1-2-8 and we won the 2nd and
4th quarters 6-4-40 to 5-1-31. The boys now know the standard of 7As
football competition it is a lot stronger and faster than local club
football. Our ability to win games will come from how we team
together and do the role you are asked to do each game and each
quarter. If you go outside our game structures and positional roles we
will not work as a team. So when playing forward lead hard contest in
the air and on the ground and pressure your opponents when they get
the ball. In midfield we need to be more aggressive in our physciality
at the contest and force the ball forward with stronger kicks when our
handballing options aren' available. Defenders need to focus on
defending their man from getting the ball, then become running
handball options if we win the football. Our focus for the coming week
will be tackling and being strong in the tackle when being tackled.

It was a tough day at the office for the 7C Green this week with the
side being outclassed by stronger opponents. Although the
scoreboard was not flattering for St Kevin's, all players put in a strong
effort throughout the game and tried thier hardest right up until the
final siren. Our focus over the next week will be to tidy up our kicking
skills to help us hold possesion of the ball for longer periods and
prevent the opposition from dictating play as Geelong College
prevented us from attacking with the ball throughout the game.

St. Kevin's played an outstanding game to claim the points against
Scotch College. After peppering the goals and controlling the game,
St. Kevin's were able to get one on the board. A last ditch effort by
Scotch to score the equaliser was opposed by some fantastic
defensive work and goal keeping from St.Kevin's.

The boys were able to work on their passing in a slightly slower match
than last week. Sting defensive structure kept the opposition at bay
and we were able to move the ball quickly up the field.

It was an improved game of rugby this week with the boys prepartion
being alot better. The boys came up against a very physical and
strong Geelong side. The first 25min saw no points and a hard battle.
Geelong received 2 yellow cards for poor dicipline but unfortuately
SKC were still unable to capatalise. The latter end of the half saw SKC
start to improve in their patterns and game structure which led to two
well excuted tries. Fast-strong rucking led to the retention of ball and
meters up the paddock. SKC executed and technical lineout maul with
led to Aaron George sliding over the white paint. It was a great
physical incounter by the forwards who stood up to the bigger
opposition and took delight in winning the contest at the ball.

After 3 years without a win against Geelong Grammar, the 2nd XV put
in a commanding performance to avenge the titanic Grand Final
defeat of 2015. Every one of the 20 players did themselves and their
College extremely proud with tenacious defending, ferocious rucking
and precise kicking and handling. SKC dominated their opponents in
every facet of the game and pleasingly did not concede a single point
thanks to superb defence. It is hard to pick best players as everyone
was outstanding, but special congratulations to Mason Lanyon for his
brace of tries and to Alexander MacDonald for a superb hat-trick.

A very much improved performance by the U16XV saw them run out
comfortable winners against a resilient GGS side on Saturday
morning. Looking to address their level of consistency in defence, and
indeed in their breakdown work, the U16s duly bore the fruits of tough
training week with a pleasing display of running rugby. Tested early in
the second-half from a defensive sense the side did well to maintain
their line and keep GGS scoreless with two tries in each half securing
a bonus point win. SPB away this coming weekend will be a brilliant
test for a side starting to adapt to Senior Rugby.

The 9 Blue team quickly established dominance against a large Xavier
side through aggressive physicality. While running away with the
game in the first half, the boys lacked discipline in their structure and
were benefitting from the opposition's errors rather than their own
accuracy. This changed in the second half as Angus Farnan and
Declan and Charles Conroy guided the team's attacking shape, which
helped to produce some excellently worked tries.

In our third game of the season, whilst there were again many
positives with our attack, unfortunately it was 9 Green's lack of
experience that lead to a disappointing defeat to Scotch. A drop in
enthusiam from previous weeks in hitting the rucks with confidence
and power, allowed the opposition to dominate play. This combined
with many players still developing their defensive techniques saw
Scotch cross our line on a number of occasions.

A pleasing game for reasons other than the scoreline. The boys
started to show some structured attack, putting what they learned at
training into practice. The forwards are improving week on week with
improved lineout jumping. The backs were organised in attack and
the communication is improving. The whole team were willing to keep
the ball alive with good support, offloading out of tackles and darting
runs up the side of the ruck which built sustained pressure which was
converted to points.

Best Players: Dante Conte, Christian Dachs
& David Comande
The 1sts travelled to Wesley and were keen to put in a strong effort
after last week's disappointing result. Both sides came into the game
fired up and the intensity was high from the outset. Wesley broke the
deadlock late in the first half through a floated free kick to lead 1-0 into
halftime. St Kevin's displayed great character to fight back from the
deficit after the break, winning a penalty to draw the scores level,
before Connor Rafferty's well-timed header put them in front 2-1.
Unfortunately this was not enough, as Wesley regained momentum in
the final 10 minutes and scored two swift goals to come out eventual
victors 3-2. Despite the score-line, the boys should be incredibly proud
of their attitude, fighting hard until the very end. In what was a highly
physical match, the boys could have gotten caught up in the heat of
the game, but demonstrated great sportsmanship throughout, and
were graceful in defeat.

The SKC boys dominated the first half, working together with excellent
communication to score 4 unanswered goals before the break. The
opposition returned fire in the second half, scoring 3 goals in under 15
minutes which shook our confidence, and for a moment we looked like
we might have been in trouble. But the SKC boys regrouped and
responded, finding their rhythm and managing two more goals in an
incredible display of teamwork.
It took barely minutes into the game to discover that Wesley was
totally outclassed by the SKC Fourths. We shot 2 - 0 in the first half
and an astounding 9 - 0 to finish. We were very luck to have guest
players Zach Dakis, Tom Gleeson and Josh Park. Zach Dakis
effortlessly became part of our team showing finesse, passing and
shooting a spectacular float into the top left corner. Dion Di Battista
took a long shot which mesmerised the opposition in just watching it
roll by into the goal. Christian Siebel kept crossing in to pass the glory
to other players while keeper Harrsion Giavris performed a great save
in the second half. What a team! So proud!
After a tight first half, where we found it difficult to beat a
very competent keeper, the score was 1 to 0 and we knew we
had a game on our hands. We needed to adopt a more
effective attacking setup and to impose ourselves upon the
game. As the second half began, the opposition had a new
keeper and to the team's credit a more aggressive attacking
game style. The defense worked brilliantly together to repel
each opposition attack with poise and considered ball
movement. The boys attacked in numbers and placed the
opposition under enormous pressure. 6 unanswered goals –
including a belter by Josh Cosgriff!!! - resulted in an emphatic,
well-deserved win. Well done to all the boys on a great team
effort!
Goals: Jack Bascombe 1, Sahil Singh 1.
Best Players: Jack Bascombe, Harry
Hingston, Marcus Castellana.
A hard fought victory from a worthy opposition that threw
everything they had against us. The first half was definitely
the team's strongest with well worked goals, surgically set
up by Hingston, Duncan and Kelly then delivered home by
Bascombe and Singh. The second half saw both teams
slowing from fatigue but neither was willing to give an
inch. Wonderful swing kicks by Battisca and a very
memorable over the head rainbow flick by Hingston let
Scotch know we were not about to relent! This was
supported by a re-grouped defense from Gikas, Thein,
Healy and Lee who thwarted an incredibly fast and skilled
Scotch striker.

The team settled into the game well, with goals from Pat Gornall and
Somer Young. However, a goal from Geelong led to a nervous end to
the first half, with SKC holding back Geelong but unable to capitalise
on their earlier momentum, going into the break 2-1 up. The second
half started in a nervous manner too, however the boys quickly found
their rhythm and began dominating possession. Goals to Joey
Yugumbari and a second for Somer were just reward for the boys'
dominance, with the win capped off by a James Attard hat-trick.

The first part of the game saw the 10 As' backline needing to adapt
quickly to a very fast Wesley team. The first goal was scored by Andre
Farnan-Aaron but Wesley came back and after the half-time break,
the 10 A's came back more determined. The result demonstrated a
strong desire by the whole team to bring home a wonderful win.

This was a close encounter throughout the match. The score was 0-0
for the majority of the game, with each team coming incredibly close in
breaking the deadlock. Sadly for SKC, Scotch got some good luck
with a fortunate deflection which allowed them to take a shot on goal
and score. Noah Cosgriff and Sean Howey worked particularly hard to
redress the balance, but time was not on our side. In the end it was a
flattering scoreline for Scotch, although the SKC boys should be
exremely proud of their workrate and effort.

An even first half but this was mainly due to problems with our forward
structure. In an action packed second half, the 10C's dominated the
game with fast running, skilful ball use and good communication
around the field. The boys played intelligent, efficient soccer and outclassed their opposition on every level. As in the past two games, the
whole team contributed to a great win.
Another victory for the10Ds this week! We grappled with some quality
footwork from the opposing side but our defence was strong and we

implementation of some new strategies with success. Against a taller
opposition, the team attempted to keep a strong defensive line and
use the wings to their advantage. Laurence Downie and Harrison
Fitzgerald ran the match with energy and Nicholas Kimura played
intelligently and efficiently. Unfortunately, the scoreboard crept higher
and a birthday goal proved elusive for Charles Boyle-Bryant.

A sensational game that saw 13 goals scored in an hour of soccer. a 3
all half-time score turned into a 7/6 victory keeping the trend of
running out strong second halves going. EVERYONE made significant
contributions and despite three penalties to nil and 4 un-noticed
handballs, the boys came away with a stirling victory. Most enjoyable!!
This Saturday the SKC 8A's went up against Xavier Kostka Hall. It
started off as a very even game, both sides knocking the ball around
nicely, both teams getting shots. Neither side was able to capitalise on
any of their chances. In the first half though, SKC did seem to create a
few nice passes, but overall it was a sloppy attempt by all the boys.
The first half ended with neither side scoring. In the second half, SKC
came out firing and were eager to put one away. Hard work from all
the players seemed to pay off, because SKC were dominating the
game. With 10 minutes to go in the game, SKC won a free kick in a
vulnerable position. Joey Romero stepped up to take the free kick. He
whipped the ball right into the box and Liam Foo was there to get a
foot on the ball - a very well worked goal. For the rest of the game,
SKC's defence held on strongly, not letting in any goals.

Goals: Andrew, Jack.
Best Players: Connor, Marco, Jack
A great game by the SKC players saw excellent exploitation of the
wings including crosses from Riley and Jarrod that were narrowly
missed at the near post. Haileybury went up first and the scores sat at
one nil as the first half closed. An excellent play from Leni through the
box before cutting it back to Andrew meant an equaliser. Teams
exchanged goals, however Haileybury proved to capitalise on their
chances better. Final score 2-3.

With the temperature cold enough to keep the milk fresh, we lined up
against Geelong College's best year 8 soccer squad. A fantastic first
half saw us fight our way to a 3-0 lead with all players contributing.
Things didn't go our way in the second half as GC pegged back the
deficit to end the game a creditable but disappointing draw.

It was a beautiful sunny Autumn morning for an early start of soccer.
After a strong start, with the boys fighting off numerous attempts at
goal during the first half, they succumbed to the first goal at the
beginning of the second half. Our boys equalised quite quickly with a
goal of their own, but two more slipped through for MGS. The boys
showed great teamwork.

The 7A team have gone from strength to strength, capitilising on minor
errors which had kept us from optimising our chances in previous
weeks. The boys worked very well moving the ball up the pitch,
through accurate 1-2 passing and making the most of the open space
for our wingers to run through the opposition's defence. Our
midfielders should also be commended on their improved support of
our defenders while maintinaing a strong hold of the gameplay in the
centre.
The boys had a fantastic win over Haileybury on Saturday. 8-1 did not
reflect the game as Haileybury played well and were our strongest
opponents to date. An early goal by A. Madden put us 1-0 up. The
game then turned cagey as both teams tried to get a foothold in the
match. However, 3 goals in 3 minutes made it 4-0 to St Kevin's at half
time. An early second half deflected goal by Haileybury brought the
score back to 4-1 before another 4 quick goals made the final score 81. Andrew Djirkalli, the hat-trick hero, was outstanding in centre
midfield, he was supported by Hugh Evans who won every tackle and
created many opportunities. Furthermore, Sam Benvenuto was
outstanding on debut and Max Bell made a string of quality saves to
only allow 1 Haileybury goal to be scored. The boys are now looking
forward to the match against Scotch on Friday night.

The boys came up against a physical and aggressive Scotch outfit.
The early periods of the game were dominated by Scotch who
undoubtedly started with more initiative. After two early goals, St
Kevins found themselves facing an uphill battle. The boys rallied in the
second half and dominated long periods of play to eventually find the
back of the Scotch net. Unfortunately the boys were unable to find an
equaliser. However, credit must go to them for their positive attitude
and willingness to continue fighting despite falling behind early.

After a shaky first half where Haileybury had the better of SKC, the
boys went back on to the field with determination. They worked very
well together as a team and communicated with each other. They
stuck to their positions which they didn't do as well in the first half and
this really paid off. Thomas Shewring was outstanding first half as
goalie and then second half came away with three goals.
The 7C Greens continued their unbeaten run into the third game of the
