Dianella-based St Andrew’s Grammar has created history after its senior girls Futsal team were crowned champions in the School Sport WA Secondary Futsal State Competition.

Stacked with talent and driven with passion for their sport and their school, the St Andrews girls took out the competition with wins in every qualifying round to storm home with a 5-1 win in the final against SEDA College WA.

Principal Craig Monaghan said he was delighted with the team’s win.

“We are incredibly proud of what this group of girls has achieved. Making state finals is an achievement in itself, but to win, averaging seven goals a game against the best in the state, was incredible to watch,” Mr Monaghan said.

“This is the first state championship in the school’s history – an amazing result. And to top it off, the best player of today’s competition was our very own Xuri and the Golden Gloves (best goalkeeper) award was presented to Jemma. They are not just amazing football players but incredible human beings who play sport the way it is supposed to be played.

“We couldn’t be prouder of our students. Being one of the inaugural Perth Glory Academy School’s in WA has provided a uniqueness to our offering and these students are testament to how successful this program is at further developing elite young athletes.”

The senior boys team also qualified for the state finals.

“The boys did us proud, played to their potential and worked hard as a team. Equal fifth for this young team was a great result. With only one Year 12 in the team, the future here in the boys team is looking extremely bright,” Mr Monaghan said.
