On Wednesday our knockout soccer team played their round one matches against Braeview and Flagstaff Hill.

Coromandel Valley defeated Braeview 7-2. Flagstaff Hill also comfortably beat Braeview, so it came down to the final match between Coro and Flaggy.

At full time it was a 2-2 stalemate, so the boys played an extra 5 minutes each way. No goals were scored so it went to a penalty shoot-out. Unfortunately, we lost the shoot-out and so won’t move to the next round.

The boys played valiantly though and with good sportsmanship.

We look forward to next year’s competition.
