Hunter Sports High Football Teams

17 September 2019

I congratulate the boys' and girls' soccer teams from Hunter Sports High School, which recently competed in the Bill Turner Cup and Bill Turner Trophy competitions. The competitions began in March and culminated in the finals played at Speers Point in early September. Around 850 school teams from New South Wales, the Australian Capital Territory, Queensland and Victoria participated in this year's competitions, with the event being one of the largest team sports competitions in the world. I was pleased to be at the commencement of the finals and I was very proud that both Hunter Sports High School teams made it through to the semi-finals. The girls' team went on to the grand final, finishing runnerup, while the boys finished in third place overallan outstanding achievement. Well done to both teams for a mammoth effort. Ilook forward to watching them again next year.
