Beachside AFL Interschool Competition

At the recent Beachside AFL Interschool Competition, we had approximately 40 Mac.Rob students attend to play in the Intermediate (Year 9 & 10) and Senior (Year 11 & 12) teams. We asked five of the most experienced Year 10s to play in the Senior team to ensure we had enough players, and they happily jumped at the chance. We also had five students volunteer at the last minute to come along and help with running water and goal umpiring.

The Intermediate team played against Prahran and Mentone at Highett Reserve, and fought hard to beat Mentone by 1 point! Meanwhile, the Senior team played against Mentone and Cheltenham at Le Page Park. Mentone were too strong for all Senior teams on the day. Mac.Rob's Senior team showed amazing improvement over both games and outscored Cheltenham in the second half, but Cheltenham ended up taking the win by a narrow margin. Both teams played so well with almost no training leading up to the day, and showed remarkable improvement on the previous years' tournament.

Well done to all players and volunteers who represented Mac.Rob in the Beachside AFL Competition!
