Somerset Spartans Under 8 Futsal team became winners of the South East Queensland School Futsal Titles, defeating Calvary Christian College. The Under 11 made it to the Finals that will take place next month.

All Futsal players met the coaches at the drop off zone to get ready for the School Futsal Titles. This year Somerset College presented themselves with the following teams: Under 8, Under 9, Under 10 and Under 11.

Arriving at Oxley Futsal Centre we found a great base to drop our bags and come together for meetings and taking rest between the games. After having set up rules in regards of behaviour, the teams were ready to kick off.

The Under 11s started their game against Saint Stephens College. The boys were not ready and lost their first match. After the game, Coach Maarten had a good chat with the boys about their performance and how to improve for the next games. The boys played St. Stephens again in the afternoon and showed some class. They dominated the game and scored many goals. The other opponent in their group was Cedar Creek. By winning both games versus Cedar Creek, the boys have been invited back for the next round, 21 August.

Congratulations Sabastian, Bailey, Nicholas, Caspar and Nash.

The Under 10s without much experience in Futsal played a total of six games. Winning three games and losing three was a good performance.

We hope to see many of these players back in the Somerset Futsal Club that will commence later this year. Jacob, Eli, Zac, Elliot, Harry, and Darcy well done!

The Under 9 team was mixed from Year 3 and Year 4 students. Under the supervision of Coach Ryan, the boys and girls mixed up their performances with wins and losses.

It was great seeing students playing together from different year levels. Well done Evie-May, Liam, Sehaj, Elijah, Hugo, Liam and Max.

The Under 8s performed very well. Most of our Under 8 Spartans played last year in the Varsity Futsal League. During the day we could see that playing for the Somerset Spartans Futsal Club has benefited their performance.

By having the experience of playing official matches, we were better prepared than our opponents.

Congratulations Paxton, Harper, Zhander, Danny, Connor, William, and Oliver. Also, a big thanks to Coach Sean that was looing after the team during the day!
